Monitoring

Portal

Monitor Spice Cloud projects from the Spice.ai portal

The Spice.ai Cloud portal includes a built-in monitoring dashboard — no external tools or configuration required.

Monitoring Dashboard

The Observability tab in your project provides real-time visibility into usage, request performance, and API activity:

  • SQL Queries — total count, success/failure rate, and average duration
  • AI Completions — LLM inference request metrics
  • Vector Searches — embedding-based search request metrics
  • Embedding Calculations — embedding generation metrics
  • Dataset Refreshes — accelerated dataset refresh success and timing

Accessing the Dashboard

  1. Navigate to your Spice project in the portal
  2. Click the Observability tab in the project navigation bar
  3. Select a time range: 1 hour, 24 hours, 7 days, or 28 days

Use the metrics dashboard to identify usage trends, detect spikes in query duration, and plan capacity.

API Request Logs

The request logs provide a detailed record of individual API requests, including status codes, durations, and timestamps.

  1. Open the Observability tab for your project
  2. Select Request Logs in the left navigation
  3. Select a time range: past hour, 8 hours, 24 hours, or up to 3 days

Use request logs to debug failing queries, identify slow requests, and audit API usage.

For full details, see the Portal Monitoring documentation.
