Monitoring
Monitoring is an important part of maintaining the reliability, availability, and performance of API Gateway. The API Gateway monitoring service enables you to
View the health and performance of the application.
Discover, analyze, and debug the application issues before they adversely impact the system. This improves business continuity and reduce application downtime.
Understand the behavior of the application, scale for business volumes, and benefit from the cost optimization.
Through API Gateway monitoring, you can monitor the health and resources of the following API Gateway components:
API Gateway Server
API Data Store
Terracotta Server Array
Kibana
You can monitor API Gateway at:
Cluster-level
Node-level
In a Highly Available (HA) architecture, multiple instances of software operate as a cluster. The HA architecture ensures that there is no single point of failure in the system that has multiple nodes, for example, virtual machines or Kubernetes pods.
The cluster-level monitoring ensures service availability, which refers to the overall system, that is the availability of access and functionality of
API Gateway.
The node-level monitoring refers to the availability of every instance of API Gateway component in the node.
