Monitoring REST API
Overview
The monitoring API is only available on Enterprise plans.
This API enables you to see the inner workings of your clusters/replicas. It is not accessible by the standard API clients.
The Monitoring API lets your interact directly with the status & usages of your Algolia clusters from anything that can send an HTTP request.
All the API access is over HTTPS, and accessed via the https://status.algolia.com
domain.
APPLICATION_ID
variable can be found in your dashboard.
API_KEY
variable can be found in your credential page, under the monitoring section.

export APPLICATION_ID="your application id"
export API_KEY="your monitoring API key"
The relative path prefix /1/
indicates that we are currently using version 1 of the API.
Request Format
Authentication is done via HTTP headers.
The X-Algolia-Application-Id
header identifies which application you are accessing,
and the X-Algolia-API-Key
header authenticates the endpoint.
Response Format
The response format for all requests is a JSON object.
Whether a request succeeded is indicated by the HTTP status code. A 2xx status code indicates success, whereas a 4xx status code indicates failure. When a request fails, the response body is still JSON, but always contains the field message which you can inspect to use for debugging.

Indexing operations
Record operations
Synonym operations
Rule operations
Total operations
Processing time
Indices
Maximum QPS (query per second)
Used search capacity
Degraded queriesYou use the degraded_queries_* methods to monitor the impact on queries when the server is overloaded. For some methods, we speak of “seconds impacted”. This refers to the percentage of seconds, for a given period, that were affected by a particular degradation. For instance, if degraded_queries_max_capacity_seconds_impacted returns 50% for one hour, it means that 1800/3600 were affected by a max_capacity. Note that the impacted seconds may not be contiguous.
You can get information on degraded queries by making the following call to the REST API. In this example, we retrieve all degraded queries from the last day. Copy

When the query is successful, the HTTP response is a 200 OK and returns the metrics:

: Value of the metric
Depending on the metric kind, the type of the value may differ. The majority of the metrics are integer values except the following ones:
degraded_queries_*
max_qps
region_*
used_search_capacity
The values of those metrics are returned as maps of string to integer where
the keys are server names, or regions in the case of region_*
metrics.
