Monitoring

Monitor Spice Cloud projects with Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, and OpenTelemetry

Spice Cloud exposes a Prometheus-compatible metrics endpoint (/v1/metrics) on each project instance. Use it to scrape runtime metrics and build dashboards and alerts in your monitoring platform of choice.

curl "https://<project-cname>.spiceai.io/v1/metrics" \
  -H "X-API-Key: <API_KEY>"

Metrics can also be pushed to any OpenTelemetry-compatible backend over OTLP, configured in the project spicepod, which needs no scraping agent. See OpenTelemetry.

Pre-built dashboards and setup guides are available:

• Portal - Built-in monitoring dashboard in the Spice.ai Cloud portal

• Grafana & Prometheus - Scrape metrics with Prometheus, visualize in Grafana

• Datadog - Scrape metrics with the Datadog Agent's OpenMetrics integration

• New Relic - Push metrics over OTLP, or scrape with the infrastructure agent

• OpenTelemetry - Push metrics to any OTLP-compatible backend

• Zipkin - Distributed tracing with Zipkin

For the full list of available metrics, see the Metrics API reference.

The metrics endpoint provides Spice runtime metrics only. Kubernetes pod-level metrics (CPU, memory, etc.) are not currently included.
