Observability

Monitor your Unkey deployments with built-in observability tools including HTTP request logs, runtime application logs, and performance metrics.
1 min read

Every project on Unkey includes built-in observability so you can inspect what your app is doing without adding extra tooling.

What you get#

Each project provides three types of observability data:

  • Logs. Runtime output (stdout and stderr) from your app, with filtering by severity, deployment, environment, and message content
  • Requests. Every HTTP request that passes through the gateway to your app, including method, path, status code, and a full latency breakdown. A logging policy can add headers, bodies, and query data
  • Metrics. RPS and latency charts on each deployment's overview page

Where to find it#

Navigate to your project in the dashboard. The Logs and Requests tabs are at the top of the project overview. Deployment-level metrics are on each deployment's detail page.

Retention#

Runtime logs are retained for 90 days. Request log retention depends on your plan, see quotas. Metrics are available for the lifetime of the deployment.
