API Gateway:Observation and Analysis

Last Updated:Jun 17, 2025

This topic describes how to view monitoring data of API Gateway, enable log delivery for cloud-native API Gateway, enable Tracing Analysis for cloud-native API Gateway, enable Metrics delivery for cloud-native API Gateway, and view monitoring data of REST APIs and interfaces through cloud-native API Gateway. These features help you manage and optimize interface performance more efficiently while improving overall service quality.

View gateway monitoring data

Cloud-native API Gateway allows you to view gateway monitoring data, including Business Monitoring and Resource Monitoring. For more information, see View the monitoring data of a cloud-native gateway.

Enable gateway log delivery

The log delivery feature is a service provided by cloud-native API Gateway in conjunction with Alibaba Cloud Simple Log Service (SLS). After you enable log delivery, you can analyze the access logs of cloud-native API Gateway to gain deeper insights into client user behavior and geographic distribution, which helps you troubleshoot issues more effectively. For more information, see Enable log delivery for a cloud-native gateway.

Enable gateway tracing analysis

Cloud-native API Gateway supports integration with Alibaba Cloud Tracing Analysis service and Skywalking service, helping you analyze and diagnose performance bottlenecks in distributed application architectures. Through this integration feature, you can significantly improve development and diagnostic efficiency in microservice environments, ensuring stable application operation. For more information, see Enable Tracing Analysis for a cloud-native gateway.

Enable gateway Metrics delivery

Cloud-native API Gateway supports delivering gateway Metrics to monitoring systems. You can create custom business dashboards based on the delivered metric indicators to monitor business dynamics in real time, helping you quickly detect and resolve potential issues. For more information, see Enable gateway Metrics delivery.

View monitoring data of REST APIs and interfaces

In cloud-native API Gateway, you can view monitoring data of REST APIs and interfaces, including three key indicators: queries per second (QPS), request success rate, and average request latency. Through these monitoring data, you can monitor and evaluate the performance of cloud-native API Gateway in real time, ensuring efficient and stable service operation. For more information, see View monitoring data of REST APIs and interfaces.
