What this PR does / why we need it:
Adds a blog post extending Feast Feature Server Monitoring to cover two new observability capabilities introduced in PR #6340:
-
Offline Store RED Metrics — Prometheus counters and histograms (feast_offline_store_request_total, feast_offline_store_request_latency_seconds, feast_offline_store_row_count) for offline store retrieval operations, closing the observability gap between online serving and offline training paths.
-
SOX Audit Logging — Structured JSON audit log entries emitted via a dedicated feast.audit Python logger for both online and offline feature access, designed for compliance with SOX, GDPR, HIPAA, and similar regulatory frameworks.
The blog covers:
- Why offline store metrics and audit logging matter in production ML systems
- The three new Prometheus metrics and their label structure
- SOX audit log entry format for online and offline paths (with PII-minimization by design)
- YAML configuration to enable
offline_features and audit_logging
- PromQL queries, Prometheus alert rules, and extended Grafana dashboard panels
- How to route audit logs to compliance sinks (Splunk, ELK, S3 WORM)
- Step-by-step demo using the feast-prometheus-metrics setup
Which issue(s) this PR fixes:

In [our previous post](https://feast.dev/blog/feast-feature-server-monitoring/), we introduced built-in Prometheus metrics for the Feast feature server — covering the full online serving lifecycle from HTTP request handling through online store reads, on-demand feature transformations, materialization pipelines, and feature freshness tracking.

Actually I wanted this to be rediractiable, so that reader can see online store metrics config, usage that is done in previous blog.
