SevOne API Monitoring and Observability Enhancement Request

Request: Add API monitoring and observability capabilities that provide visibility into API usage, performance, resource consumption, and client activity.

Historical API usage trends would be most important.

Suggested Metrics and Monitoring Capabilities:

  • API endpoints being accessed
  • Request frequency by endpoint (requests per minute/hour/day)
  • API response time metrics (average, P95, P99 latency)
  • Error rates by endpoint (4xx, 5xx, authentication errors, timeouts)
  • Top API consumers (user, API token, source IP, application/integration)
  • Concurrent API sessions and active requests
  • CPU and memory utilization associated with API activity
  • Request burst/spike detection and alerting
  • Request and response payload size statistics
  • API version usage tracking
  • API audit trail showing who accessed which endpoints and when

Example Use Cases:

  • Identify which API endpoints are most heavily utilized.
  • Determine whether API traffic is contributing to increased CPU or memory consumption.
  • Detect failing or misconfigured integrations through elevated error rates.
  • Identify API clients generating excessive traffic or approaching rate limits.
  • Troubleshoot API performance issues using latency and concurrency metrics.
  • Track API adoption and usage trends over time.
