Monitor your Supergraph
Overview
Monitoring API performance and obtaining actionable insights is crucial for maintaining an efficient and responsive system. However, this process is often hindered by several significant challenges. Developers frequently rely on disparate tools that are not integrated, making it difficult to gather and analyze performance metrics cohesively. The delay in obtaining insights due to data aggregation and analysis can slow down decision-making, impacting the overall performance and reliability of the API.
Furthermore, setting up and maintaining these monitoring tools requires considerable effort and expertise, adding to the complexity and resource burden. These obstacles highlight the need for a more streamlined approach to performance monitoring.
Hasura DDN simplifies performance monitoring by providing:
- Instant Insights: Access key metrics and traces in real-time on the insights page.
- Integrated Monitoring: Monitor performance directly within the console without needing additional tools.
- Proactive Optimization: Quickly identify and address performance issues, ensuring a smooth and efficient supergraph API experience.
Aside from the information below, you can dig into our observability options here.
You can also use the console to visualize and interact with your API.
From the sidenav of the console — Hasura's web-based GUI — you can access the Insights page.
Step 1. View performance metrics
You can access key performance metrics for both your project and for each build:
Step 2. View traces
You can also click the Traces tab at the top of the page and get query-by-query trace data for each request, seeing
all the same details as when using the
View Trace button in the GraphiQL explorer.
