GraphQL Metrics

Observability for every GraphQL request

Real-time observability for your GraphQL APIs usage, performance and errors. Get started in minutes by installing the plugin for your GraphQL Server.

After every release, we open up Stellate's GraphQL Metrics to monitor the health of our GraphQL API in real-time.

Get real-time insights into all GraphQL requests

  • Get real-time insights into all GraphQL request

    Get visibility into every single query and mutation sent to your GraphQL API, including the request’s headers, latency, errors, and more.

    On the left we see a chart displaying 4 stats, a blue line for the cache hits, a red line for the cache misses, a grey line for the cache passes and an orange bar for the amount of errors. On the right we see these stats written out, 86.4 million requests, which is a 4.1% improvement, of those requests 44.4 million are cache-hits, 11.5 million are cache-misses and 30.4 million are cache-passes and we have seen 1.08million errors.

  • Monitor performance, identify bottlenecks

    Automatically oversee the performance of your GraphQL API down to the individual operation level to identify your biggest bottlenecks.

    a query named getProductWidgets is displayed accompanied by a P99 latency of 236ms, it tells us that with Stellate Edge Cache enabled it improves speed by 404ms and the query has seen 6.18million requests.

  • Track HTTP and GraphQL errors

    Track all HTTP and GraphQL errors and receive alerts on spikes the moment they become a problem for your users.

    On the left a bar chart showing the amount of errors we have seen, on the right we see a total of 1.09 million errors have happened, which is a 98% increase, of these errors we have seen 1.06million GraphQL errors, 570 thousand HTTP 4xx Errors and 29869 HTTP 5xx Errors.

  • Analyze issues quickly with pinpoint precision

    Deep dive into your data at minute-level accuracy, aid your debugging process, and inform decision-making.

  • Unlock the Potential of Caching

    Analyze operations cardinality to identify areas for caching improvements to boost Cache Hit Rate across all operations.

  • Understand Your Users Engagement

    Track data points with each GraphQL request with Custom Attributes. Make your metrics multi-tenant and enhance user journey debugging. Your API insights, personalized.

  • Deep dive into resolving errors and performance issues

    Get even more granularity while performing analysis when investigating poor performance or errors. Identify fields that are the least used or get a better understanding of how big of an impact an error is with your users. Dive even further within your analysis by the GraphQL client version.

  • Instantly Recreate Errors from the Dashboard

    Instrument and replay the errors directly from Stellate. Re-run the original request using its original variables. Requesting your users to reproduce the errors is a thing of the past.

  • Dive deep with fine-grained filtering

    Filter your metrics down to the nuances. Check the performance of certain operations or discover how certain HTTP referrers cause errors.

    The applied filters, this highlights that we are filtering by country which has to be Belgium or the United Kingdom, the HTTP Refferer which has to be acme.com, the browser which has to be Chrome and finally the types which have to be AdminAPIToken or Analytics or Alert.

  • Get real-time alerts and manage incidents

    Notify the right people over the right channel when things go wrong. Use the Slack and PagerDuty integrations or good old email.

    A slack message telling us that an app named Stellate has sent a message alerting us of an increase in the amount of 5xx HTTP errors, we have seen 85 of them in the last minute. Then the message shows us the last error, which is a message telling us that we can't reach the endpoint, lastly we can click a button to go look at all the errors

  • Prevent breaking your GraphQL schema

    Identify unused fields and types and prevent breaking changes to your schema based on actual usage data from your users.

    A terminal message telling us that we have made a breaking change to the "inviteUser" mutation by changing the return type from Invite to Organization
