Overview

A Comprehensive Overview Page

Get instant visibility of your app's vitals with our auto-refreshing dashboard. Track mean and 95th percentile response times, throughput, error rates – with clear, actionable visualizations. Compare current and historical data to spot trends and catch regressions.

Auto-refreshing dashboard

Live performance metrics, updated every minute for instant deploy feedback.

Dynamic annotations

Live performance metrics, updated every minute for instant deploy feedback.

30-day lookback window

Track a month of performance trends to quickly spot issues vs historical data.

Endpoints

Endpoint Details – Above and Beyond

Explore your endpoints with comprehensive analytics showing time consumption rankings, throughput, memory allocations, and error rate hotspots. Zero in on specific timeframes to identify the endpoints contributing to performance issues, then confidently resolve them.

Individual Endpoints

You can view metrics for specific controller-action and background job workers. There is a similar chart interaction to the App Performance Overview page, with one difference: your selection will render an updated list of transaction traces that correspond to the selected time period.

Endpoint metrics

Drill into metrics for specific controller actions or background job workers.

Transaction filters

Filter transaction traces by response time, object allocations, date, and more.

Dynamic charts

Leverage dynamic charts to update trace data for the selected time period.

Background Jobs

Keep Background Job Insights in the Foreground

Monitor your background workers with the same precision as your web endpoints. Track execution time, throughput, latency, memory allocations, and error rates to ensure your async processes run smoothly. Identify bottlenecks and optimize performance where it matters most.

External Services

External Services Dashboard

Keep tabs on your application's external dependencies through our External Services Dashboard: get clear visibility into all your API calls, identify slow services, and see exactly where time is spent in your integrations.
