Overview of API Monitoring

This page applies to Apigeeand Apigee hybrid.

View Apigee Edge documentation.

After you build and launch your APIs on Apigee, you need to ensure that they are available and performing as expected in order to maintain uninterrupted service. Apigee's API Monitoring enables you to track your APIs to make sure they are up and running correctly. API Monitoring provides near real-time insights into API traffic and performance, to help you quickly diagnose and solve issues as they arise.

API Monitoring enables you to:

• Create alerts to notify you of changes in API traffic so you can take appropriate action before customers are affected.
• Increase API availability and reduce the mean-time-to-diagnosis (MTTD) by quickly investigating issues with your APIs.
• Leverage fault codes to speed diagnosis.
• Isolate problem areas quickly to diagnose errors, performance, and latency issues and their source.

As an Apigee customer, you can also use Cloud Monitoring tools to support API Monitoring.
