How do you monitor Web API performance in production?

Entry ASP.NET Web API
Quick Answer Monitor Web API: Application Insights (auto-collects requests, dependencies, exceptions, performance counters). Health checks endpoint (/health) for load balancer probes. Prometheus + Grafana for metrics. Structured logging with Serilog to ELK/Seq. Key metrics: request rate, error rate, latency (p95/p99), DB query time, thread pool size. Set up alerts on error rate spikes and latency degradation.

Answer

Use monitoring platforms like:

  • Application Insights
  • Serilog + Seq
  • ELK Stack
  • Prometheus + Grafana

Track latency, errors, throughput, and resource usage.
