Monitoring
Monitor your services with real-time request logs and metrics on Forte Platforms.
Viewing Logs
Request Logs
Forte automatically captures every HTTP request to your service, including the method, path, status code, and latency.
To view request logs:
- Navigate to your project
- Select a service
- Click the Requests tab
From here, you can see all incoming requests at a glance. Requests that returned a 5xx error are highlighted so you can spot failures immediately.
Click any request below to see its correlated logs — this is how the actual Forte interface works.
For each request you can inspect:
- Request & response headers and body
- All log lines written during that request (INFO, WARN, ERROR)
- Latency breakdown (total, target, integration)
- User context if the request was authenticated
How Forte Correlates Logs
Forte correlates logs with requests in one of two ways:
- More accurate, requires onboarding: With a request ID that is included in every log line
- Default option: By using the timestamp of the request and log lines to match them together
If your service receives a large volume of concurrent requests, you should onboard to request ID correlation to ensure that logs are accurately matched to requests.
Forte provides the request ID in the X-Forte-Request-Id header, and will automatically extract request IDs from your logs if you include them in your log lines.
Metrics
Navigate to your service's Overview tab to view:
- Request volume — Total requests over the selected time range
- Status code distribution — Breakdown by 2xx, 4xx, and 5xx responses
- Latency percentiles — P50, P90, and P99 response times
These metrics update automatically as new requests arrive.
