Proxy dashboard accounting

Import neurolink-proxy-observability-dashboard.json into OpenObserve after the matching proxy release emits the indexed accounting and pricing fields. The template is an artifact; changing it does not update an installed dashboard or activate a proxy release. Request panels query the metadata log stream. Bulk body captures can use a separate stream.

Client traffic, errors, and latency belong to the outer request. An internal bridge request owns provider usage when proxy_usage_owner_request_id names that child; the parent contributes no second token charge. Cached input is included once according to ai_input_includes_cached_tokens.

Log queries first collapse exact producer retries, ignoring ingestion-time changes. The stable identity combines service instance and producer event ID; older records fall back to request ID where available. Contradictory payloads under one identity are excluded from aggregate totals. The Traffic & Health conflict counter reports those exclusions. A nonzero counter means totals cover only the verified subset; use telemetry doctor for the conflicting raw payloads. Rows without any stable identity cannot establish retry deduplication.

Cost panels sum ai_cost_api_equivalent_usd only when ai_pricing_status='exact'. These are estimates from this release's API price table and complete provider usage, not subscription charges or quota usage. Prefix-inferred prices, missing rates, partial token usage, and a bridge parent's delegated usage do not receive an invented dollar amount. Pricing-gap panels show the excluded usage owners; a blank known-cost total is not zero spending. Cache savings compare cache reads with the same table's uncached input rate. The offline analyzer's historical estimates separately retain their existing requestsPricedByPrefix and modelsPricedByPrefix disclosures.

The deterministic capture-pipeline suite executes the shipped request, token, cost, and conflict SQL on an in-memory database and records exact price-table, partial-usage, and unknown-model OTLP fixtures. SQLite validates the standard SQL logic; verify field availability and query compatibility in the target OpenObserve version when installing the dashboard. Metric panels retain their scrape/window semantics and are not a substitute for reconciled request logs.
