Home / Product / Health and monitoring

See the backend clearly

Know whether the backend is reachable—and whether the product paths people need still work.

Use health, runtime statistics, structured logs, rotation controls, and optional profiles as the starting point for meaningful operational visibility.

Health becomes a layered answer

02Investigate with contextCollect structured logs and runtime statistics.

03Observe real customer pathsAdd checks for the capabilities your product actually depends on.

Why it matters

A green health check can coexist with a broken customer experience.

The process may answer while sign-in fails, the database is saturated, files cannot reach storage, or a queue is falling behind. Treating one ping as proof of the whole product hides the failures that matter.

Daptin provides a health endpoint, runtime statistics, structured logging with rotation options, and optional CPU or heap profiles. These surfaces reveal the process and help operators investigate.

A complete monitoring plan builds on them with synthetic paths: authenticate, read a permissioned record, fetch an asset, run a safe action, and check every protocol or queue the product promises.

Start with a clear liveness signal

Know whether the service can answer at all.

Keep investigation evidence

Use logs and statistics to understand resource and request behavior.

Measure what customers experience

Turn the application's important journeys into external checks.

How it fits

Part of one connected backend.

Health and monitoring does more when it can reuse the records, people, access rules, and workflows already in your application.

Step 1Probe

Check the process from outside its own runtime.

Step 2Collect

Centralize logs and relevant runtime statistics.

Step 3Exercise

Test representative identity, data, file, action, and service paths.

Step 4Alert

Notify operators on failure, latency, queue age, or resource pressure.

What it enables

Use it in products people recognize.

Start from the experience you want to create; the backend capability supports the work behind it.

Customer portal check

File-path check

Fetch a known asset through its real storage and permission path.

Mail operations

Watch pending age, failed attempts, and listener reachability.

Connected by design

Build the next part without starting over.

These capabilities share the same application context, so each one makes health and monitoring more useful.

Know the boundary

What Daptin leaves in your hands.

Daptin exposes operational signals; it does not provide a managed monitoring service, incident response, log warehouse, or universal service-level objective. Protect profiling endpoints and avoid leaking sensitive data into logs.

Build from one foundation

Make health and monitoring part of the product—not another disconnected service.
