- Extend GET /api/v1/logs with cursor pagination, multi-level filtering, optional application scoping, and level count aggregation - Add exchangeId, instanceId, application, mdc fields to log responses - Refactor ClickHouseLogStore with keyset pagination (N+1 pattern) - Add LogSearchRequest/LogSearchResponse core domain records - Create LogSearchPageResponse wrapper DTO - Add Logs as 4th content tab (Exchanges | Dashboard | Runtime | Logs) - Implement LogSearch component with debounced search, level filter bar, expandable log entries, cursor pagination, and live tail mode - Add cross-navigation: exchange header → logs, log tab → logs tab - Update ClickHouseLogStoreIT with cursor, multi-level, cross-app tests Closes: #104 Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

UX Audit: PMF Readiness for First Market Offer
Date: 2026-04-01 Epic: Gitea #100 Timeline: 8 weeks to first market offer (~2026-05-27)
Context
Comprehensive UX audit evaluating readiness for product-market fit. Full-stack Apache Camel observability platform competing with Datadog, Grafana+Tempo, Dynatrace. Self-hosted first, SaaS later.
Three target personas (all equally important):
- Integration Developers -- debug message flows, trace exchanges, inspect payloads/errors
- DevOps/Platform Engineers -- manage deployments, agent health, route control, config push
- Engineering Managers / Tech Leads -- dashboards, SLA compliance, error trends
Competitive positioning: "General APM tools don't understand Camel. We do."
What's Working Well
- Process diagram visualization -- killer differentiator, no APM tool shows Camel routes this way
- Three-tab navigation (Exchanges/Dashboard/Runtime) maps cleanly to personas
- Command palette (Ctrl+K) with categorized search is polished
- Dashboard 3-level drill-down with KPIs, treemaps, punchcard heatmaps -- competitive-grade
- Dark mode is clean and well-implemented
- Design system gives visual consistency; amber/brown brand is distinctive
- Route control bar (Start/Stop/Suspend/Resume/Replay) -- unique differentiator
- Live auto-refresh with LIVE indicator
- Correlation chain navigation

Recommended 8-Week Execution Order
| Weeks | Issues | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | #103, #105, #110 | Quick wins: shareable links, table readability, formatting |
| 3-4 | #101, #111 | First-run experience, pagination |
| 5-6 | #102 | Alerting (the big sticky feature) |
| 7-8 | #104, #106 | Depth: log search, latency investigation |
Design Specs
Full design specifications are posted as comments on each Gitea issue. Key architectural decisions:
#101 Onboarding
useOnboardingState()hook derives phase from existinguseAgents()+useRouteCatalog()polling- Phases: welcome -> connected -> receiving -> complete -> dismissed
- Framework-specific snippets (Spring Boot/Quarkus/Standalone x Maven/Gradle)
- Bootstrap token via new
GET /api/v1/admin/bootstrap-token(ADMIN only) - Per-page empty states using DS
EmptyStatecomponent
#102 Alerting
- PostgreSQL tables: alert_channels, alert_rules, alert_history, alert_rule_state
- 7 built-in alert types querying ClickHouse MVs and agent registry
- Evaluation engine: Spring @Scheduled, 10s loop, hysteresis, cooldown
- 3 notification channels: webhook, email (SMTP), Slack
- Bell icon in TopBar with firing count badge
- New "Alerting" admin tab with Rules/Channels/History sub-tabs
#103 Shareable Links
- URL as canonical source of truth, React state is derived mirror
UrlFilterSyncProviderwraps existingGlobalFilterProvider(no DS changes)- Filter changes = replaceState, navigation = pushState
- Copy Link button with Ctrl+Shift+C shortcut
- 9-step incremental rollout
#104 Log Search
- New
GET /api/v1/logs/searchendpoint with cursor pagination and level counts - 4th tab: Logs, with search bar, level filter toggles, virtual-scrolled results
- Search syntax: free text + field:value (level, app, logger, exchange, mdc.*)
- Live tail via adaptive polling (2-5s)
- Bidirectional exchange correlation
