API Monitoring

For API or service monitoring, keep events flat and specific.

Examples:

• api.requests.count
• api.errors.count
• api.response.duration_ms
• rate_limit.hit.count

Typical policies:

• error-count hourly sum
• response-time hourly p95_est
• rate-limit hit hourly sum

Use analytics windows when you need to compare the current hour or day to previous periods.
