Setting up alerts is a crucial step in monitoring your API usage. Here's how you can do it:
1. Threshold-Based Alerts: Set thresholds for key metrics such as API requests, response times, and error rates. Configure alerts to notify you when these thresholds are exceeded. 2. Anomaly Detection: Use anomaly detection algorithms to identify unusual patterns in your API usage. This can help you catch issues that might not be apparent through threshold-based alerts alone. 3. Integration with Communication Tools: Integrate your alerts with communication tools like Slack or email to ensure that you and your team are promptly notified of any issues.
