>_PLATFORM.OBSERVABILITY()

Built-in monitoring for your servers and applications.

You shouldn't have to deploy and maintain a fleet of third-party agents just to see what your infrastructure is doing. Cycle natively aggregates metrics, logs, and events, ensuring visibility from the start.

>_PLATFORM.TELEMETRY()

Four monitoring primitives.

With Cycle, you get instant access to your metrics, logs, events, and audit trails without configuring a single third-party plugin. Need to ingest your metrics to elsewhere? Configure an events/metrics endpoint, or log drain, and Cycle will begin streaming your observability data to the provider of your choice.

Metrics

Whether it's container and virtual machine resource usage or the number of logins to your application, Cycle provides an integrated API for storing, aggregating, and querying granular metrics.

Events

From container restarts to node updates, all meaningful actions or notices yield point-in-time events.

Recent Events

Application & Server Logs

Cycle automatically captures and aggregates stdout and stderr from both your underlying servers and containers.

>_INTERNAL.EXTENSIBILITY()

Push Custom Telemetry.

Use the internal API socket to extend Cycle's default observability data points by pushing your own application-specific events and metrics.

  • Track App-Specific KPIs directly alongside your infrastructure metrics.
  • Push custom alerts natively to the portal without third-party webhooks.

>_TELEMETRY.STREAM()

Stream observability metrics anywhere.

Configure global endpoints to stream metrics, events, and logs directly to the external tools your team already uses.

  • Stream metrics and events in real-time to external dashboards and alerting systems.
  • Forward aggregated logs via standard protocols to centralize your search and compliance auditing.
