Do you use API monitoring tools?
Hi,
I was curios if you use API monitoring tools? To monitor request, response, api, response time, etc. I was using moesif, but they have expensive plans for me. Do you know alternatives to moesif? Or open source solutions?
Thanks in advance
I use New Relic. It has a free plan.
Interesting, thanks!
I spend a bit of time looking at my nginx proxy access logs. Its cheap & does the trick.
Do you have query params / json body sent to API in request? I want more than ip and response code.
I have used Grafana dashboards in the past configured with Prometheus to track APIs
I use a combination of Prometheus/Grafana and Sentry performance for alerting.
Yes, I use a combination of ElasticSearch, Kibana, APM Server + Client, if you have your own servers, it's free. If you go for cloud hosting, it's not free
We use uptimerobot which is free, but I don't know if it does more than just checking if the API is online.
Sentry is pretty decent, they have a free plan. You can monitor your APIs and send client-side errors to the backend too.
EDIT: If you're looking to just monitor if your APIs are healthy or not, something like UptimeRobot would be cool or go the extra mile and show status to your users by using Atlassian Statuspage
I am using Sentry to log my front errors, I will have a look at their Performance tool. Thanks!
I think Postman has something like this included but i'm not sure
It is just a health monitoring, to check if your api is up.
