Apigee hybrid collects operational metrics that you can use to monitor the health of hybrid services, to set up alerts, and so on. Apigee uses Open Telemetry for metrics collection. Once collected, hybrid sends the metrics data to Cloud Operations, at which point you can use the Cloud Operations console for viewing, searching, and analyzing metrics and managing alerts.
The following diagram shows the metrics collection process:
As you can see in this diagram, there is one Open Telemetry pod running per node, and it can run on any pod in the node. The Open Telemetry collector scrapes application metrics data from all hybrid services and sends the metrics data to Cloud Operations. You can access metrics data through the Cloud Operations console.
For a list of metrics you can use to analyze proxy traffic, see Available metrics.
About metrics
Application metrics data is made available on a port as an internal Kubernetes service. Data collected by this service is scraped by the hybrid metrics collector service. You can use the Monitoring Metrics Explorer to select metrics you want to view, such as:
read request count
read request latency
write request count
write request latency
For example, you can create a dasard in Cloud Operations to show your metrics:
[[["Easy to understand","easyToUnderstand","thumb-up"],["Solved my problem","solvedMyProblem","thumb-up"],["Other","otherUp","thumb-up"]],[["Hard to understand","hardToUnderstand","thumb-down"],["Incorrect information or sample code","incorrectInformationOrSampleCode","thumb-down"],["Missing the information/samples I need","missingTheInformationSamplesINeed","thumb-down"],["Other","otherDown","thumb-down"]],["Last updated 2025-06-25 UTC."],[[["Apigee hybrid uses Open Telemetry to collect operational metrics for monitoring hybrid service health and setting up alerts."],["The collected metrics data is sent to Cloud Operations, where it can be viewed, searched, analyzed, and used for managing alerts through the Cloud Operations console."],["Open Telemetry collectors, running as a pod on each node, scrape application metrics from all hybrid services."],["Metrics collection is enabled by default and can be disabled through a configuration option."],["The Monitoring Metrics Explorer in Cloud Operations allows for selecting and viewing specific metrics like read/write request counts and latency."]]],[]]
