Instance Monitoring

The Monitoring tab on the instance console provides real-time visibility into your Arc instance's health, performance, and resource usage.

Navigate to Instances > [your instance] > Monitoring to access the dashboard.

Service Health Dashboard

The monitoring dashboard displays real-time system metrics with configurable time ranges.

Time Range

Select from preset durations:

• 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes
• 6 hours
• 24 hours

Enable auto-refresh to update metrics every 5 seconds.

System Metrics

Six key metrics are displayed as cards at the top of the dashboard:

Metric	Description
Uptime	Time since the instance last started
Go Heap	Current heap memory allocation (with system memory total)
Goroutines	Active concurrent goroutine count
HTTP Requests	Total request count with success/error breakdown
Avg Latency	Mean HTTP response time with success rate percentage
GC Cycles	Garbage collection cycle count with CPU count

Time-Series Charts

Six charts provide historical trends over the selected time range:

• Memory (Heap) — Heap allocation in MB
• Goroutines — Active goroutine count
• GC Cycles — Garbage collection frequency
• HTTP Requests — Request volume over time
• HTTP Latency — Response time trends in milliseconds
• Storage Writes — Write operation volume

Endpoint Statistics

Detailed breakdowns across four categories:

HTTP Metrics

• Total requests, success count, error count, average latency

Query Metrics

• Total queries, success count, error count, rows returned

Ingestion Metrics

• Total records ingested, total bytes, batch count, errors

Storage Metrics

• Total writes, bytes written, total reads, errors

Application Logs

Below the metrics dashboard, the Application Logs section shows Arc instance logs (not ingested data — for that, see Log Explorer).

Filtering

• Level — Filter by Debug, Info, Warning, or Error
• Time range — Last 5/15/30 minutes, 1/6/24 hours
• Search — Free-text search across log messages

Logs are color-coded by severity:

• Red — Error
• Yellow — Warning
• Blue — Info
• Gray — Debug

Enable auto-refresh to stream new logs every 5 seconds.

Metrics API

You can also access monitoring data programmatically:

# System metrics snapshot
curl https://<instance>.arc.<region>.basekick.net/api/v1/metrics \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

# Endpoint statistics
curl https://<instance>.arc.<region>.basekick.net/api/v1/metrics/endpoints \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

# Time-series data (type: system, api, or application)
curl "https://<instance>.arc.<region>.basekick.net/api/v1/metrics/timeseries/system?duration=60" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

# Application logs
curl "https://<instance>.arc.<region>.basekick.net/api/v1/logs?limit=100&level=error&since_minutes=30" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>"

Log Explorer vs Application Logs

Arc Cloud has two different log viewing tools:

Feature	Application Logs (Monitoring tab)	Log Explorer (dedicated tab)
Purpose	View Arc instance system logs	Browse ingested log/event data in your databases
Data source	Arc's internal log output	Your database tables
Use case	Debugging startup issues, connection errors, health	Analyzing ingested application logs, events, traces
Filtering	Level, time range, text search	Field-level filtering, pattern detection, SQL queries
Traces	Not supported	Distributed trace visualization

• Use Application Logs when troubleshooting Arc itself (startup failures, connectivity, errors)
• Use the Log Explorer when querying and analyzing data you've ingested into your databases
