About Metric Streams

Stream real-time Auth0 metrics to your monitoring platform to track API performance, identify rate limit issues, and troubleshoot errors faster. Metric Streams support both native Datadog integration and OpenTelemetry Protocol (OTLP) for platforms like New Relic and Splunk.

​

What you can monitor

Track key metrics about your Auth0 API usage:

• API request volume: Monitor total requests to Authentication and Management APIs.
• Error rates: Identify client and server errors affecting your integration.
• Rate limit occurrences: Detect when your application hits rate limits.
• Geographic distribution: Analyze traffic patterns by country.
• Authentication flows: Track grant types and connection usage.

​

Use cases

​

Identify rate limit issues

Monitor which APIs and endpoints are hitting rate limits so you can adjust your integration or upgrade your rate limit tier.

​

Troubleshoot API failures

Quickly identify the root cause of errors by filtering metrics by API, operation, and failure type (rate limits, anomaly detection, or general errors).

​

Plan capacity

Analyze peak usage, average RPS, and percentile metrics to determine the appropriate rate limit tier for your workload.
