Cloud-native API Gateway provides a full set of observability tools — monitoring dashboards, access log delivery, distributed tracing, and metrics export — so you can diagnose performance issues, understand traffic patterns, and keep services stable.
View gateway monitoring data
Gateway monitoring data is organized into two views: Business Monitoring for traffic and API-level indicators, and Resource Monitoring for infrastructure usage. For more information, see View the monitoring data of a cloud-native gateway.
Enable gateway log delivery
Log delivery integrates cloud-native API Gateway with Simple Log Service (SLS) to stream access logs in real time. With the logs in SLS, you can analyze client behavior, geographic distribution, and error patterns to troubleshoot issues faster. For more information, see Enable log delivery for a cloud-native gateway.
Enable gateway tracing analysis
Tracing analysis connects cloud-native API Gateway to Alibaba Cloud Tracing Analysis and SkyWalking, giving you distributed traces across your microservice calls. Use traces to isolate latency bottlenecks and pinpoint which service or component is responsible. For more information, see Enable Tracing Analysis for a cloud-native gateway.
Enable gateway metrics delivery
Metrics delivery exports gateway metrics to your monitoring system so you can build custom dashboards, set alert thresholds, and detect anomalies in real time. For more information, see Enable gateway Metrics delivery.
View monitoring data of REST APIs and interfaces
REST API monitoring surfaces three key metrics for each API: queries per second (QPS), request success rate, and average request latency. Use these metrics to evaluate API performance and catch degradation before it affects end users. For more information, see View monitoring data of REST APIs and interfaces.
