Service Monitoring

Discover services, network dependencies, and HTTP API endpoints without changing application code. Bring Network Map and API Radar together to find slow or failing endpoints, assess the potential blast radius, and get notified when services need attention. Start with zero-instrumentation monitoring and add distributed tracing where deeper investigation is needed.

Discover Services and APIs Without Code Instrumentation

Keeping an inventory of services, dependencies, and API endpoints gets harder as your infrastructure changes. Service Monitoring discovers them from traffic observed by Sematext Agent, giving you visibility without adding instrumentation libraries or configuring each endpoint separately.
Automatically discover services, network connections, and HTTP endpoints as traffic is observed.
See the APIs your services expose and call, including requests from browsers, mobile applications, other services, and external clients.
Explore Kubernetes workloads and standalone hosts in the same workspace.
Start collecting network and API data with Sematext Agent, without changing application code.

See How Your Services and Infrastructure Connect

A service rarely operates on its own. Assign priorities to matching events and include them in agent and Network Map. shows its observed connections to other services, databases, and external destinations, helping you understand dependencies that may be missing from architecture diagrams.
Explore service dependencies and the protocols and traffic on their connections.
Switch between service topology and infrastructure views.
Use tables to filter and sort services, hosts, workloads, and connections when a list is more useful than a map.
Use tables to filter and sort services, hosts, workloads, and connections when a list is more useful than a map.

Find the Endpoint Behind Errors and Slow Responses

When users report a slow page or a failed operation, knowing that a service is running isn’t enough. API Radar helps you narrow the investigation to the endpoint handling those requests and see how its behavior has changed.
Browse endpoints by service, HTTP method, and path.
Compare request volume, server error rates, and response status codes.
Inspect p50, p95, and p99 latency to distinguish a widespread slowdown from delays affecting the slowest requests.
Open an endpoint’s details to review traffic, errors, and latency together over the selected time range.

Understand the Potential Blast Radius

A slow payment endpoint may affect more than checkout. Subscription renewals and order processing might depend on the same service. Move from API Radar to Network Map to identify those dependencies and understand which other workflows could be affected.
Open Network Map directly from an endpoint’s details.
Identify incoming connections from services that depend on the affected service.
Follow dependency chains to assess the potential blast radius.
Check connected services for corresponding errors or delays to distinguish potential impact from observed problems.

Get Alerts That Point to the Affected Endpoint

Get notified when an endpoint’s error rate or latency increases, an Authorization header is missing, or a certificate is approaching expiry. Each alert shows the affected service and endpoint, helping you see where the problem is and start investigating.
Use built-in rules for elevated server error rates and missing Authorization headers.
Track SSL certificate expiry dates and receive alerts before certificates expire.
Configure latency alerts for specific services or endpoints, using thresholds appropriate for their expected response times.
Open a triggered alert to see its threshold, triggered value, current value, and affected endpoint.
Open the affected endpoint directly from the alert to investigate, and get notified when it returns to normal.

Start Without Instrumentation, Add Tracing Where It Matters

Begin with automatically discovered services, API metrics, and network dependencies. Once you’ve identified an operation that needs deeper investigation, instrument the affected application with OpenTelemetry to follow individual requests through its internal operations.
Discover services and endpoints with Sematext Agent before adding application instrumentation.
Use API Radar to identify errors and latency, then Network Map to investigate dependencies and potential impact.
Add OpenTelemetry instrumentation to services that need request-level investigation.
Use distributed traces to identify application operations contributing to errors or delays.

We looked into running our own Elastic Stack, and quickly realized that was a job and specialty within itself. We are a small startup and every dollar counts. Wasting precious and expensive sysadmin time on managing things far out of our project scope really isn’t an option
