Central Logging & Metrics

The Equation platform captures API-level metrics and request activity through Azure API Management (APIM). While full observability is still under development, all traffic through the platform can already be monitored at the gateway level.

✅ What’s Available Today

• APIM gateway-level logging captures:

  • Request volume
  • Response status codes
  • Latency metrics
  • Auth success/failure

• Logs are stored and queryable through Azure monitoring tools.

• Individual API developers are not required to implement logging logic — security auditing is enforced at the platform.

🚧 What’s Coming

We are working towards integration with:

• Power BI Dashboards: for API usage summaries and client-level reporting
• Application Insights: for detailed telemetry (performance, failure traces, user flows)
• Anomaly alerts: to detect traffic spikes or high error rates

📌 Notes

• Monitoring applies to all APIs deployed via APIM.
• APIs not routed through Equation’s gateway (e.g. internal tools) must implement their own observability.
