Error monitoring with Apilytics
Markus Blomqvist · January 31, 2022
So far we have been focusing on making Apilytics a tool for monitoring performance and operational health. But what about error-monitoring? That's something that has been on our Roadmap for a while, and finally we had the time to roll it out.
Apilytics now also helps you to spot problems in your applications by showing you the trends in terms of errors, just like what you are already seeing with our historical representation of your API requests.
In addition, the new area chart you can also get detailed information, such as the error rate of any given moment in the time frame by hovering over the area chart. You can also specify the time frame the same way as you would in the historical representation of all of your API requests, allowing you to easy spot the peak hours when it comes to your API errors.
Note that this feature (like all the other features at the time of writing this) is still in beta, and we are working hard to improve it as much as we can by improving the representation of the errors, as well as adding visualization of tracebacks and other information that might help you to focus on building, not monitoring your error rates.
As you can see, Apilytics is no longer a tool for only monitoring performance and operational health. It now also keeps you on track when it comes to error-monitoring.
We hope this new feature will bring value to you. If you're interested in what other cool stuff we are up to in the future, you can check out public roadmap and even present your own feature requests to us.

Easy to use
API monitoring doesn't have to be hard. Unfortunately with the most tools out there, that is the case though. Apilytics is here to fix that. Our 5-minute installation is one of the corner stones why you should pick Apilytics.
Lightweight
Apilytics middlewares are super lightweight, fast and they will cause no performance impact on your APIs whatsoever.
Privacy-friendly
Our privacy-friendly approach lets you be in control of your data, making Apilytics a great fit for anyone aware of their privacy. Our open source middlewares allow you to see exactly what data leaves your servers.
Open source
We want to be transparent on how we process the data of our users. This is why we have open sourced 100% of our client middleware code, keeping our users updated on what data from their API is processed.
