Latency alerts on Koyeb

Koyeb has no latency alerts. It charts each service’s response time at P50, P90 and P99, plus the maximum, estimated over 5 minutes and viewable for up to 7 days. To be told when a Koyeb service gets slow, you need a tool that alerts on them. For what each percentile means, see P50 vs P95 vs P99 latency explained.

Where Koyeb shows latency

  1. Open the service in the Koyeb control panel.
  2. Go to its Metrics tab.
  3. The HTTP response time chart lists the 50th, 90th and 99th percentiles and the max; a second chart shows requests by status code family.

Response times are a 5-minute estimate and appear a few minutes after requests arrive. Ranges go from 5 minutes to 7 days, and the 7-day view is at 3-hour granularity.

What Koyeb alerts on

Koyeb’s metrics docs describe charts and mention no alerts or notifications, so a slow service shows only when someone opens it.

Which percentile to alert on

Koyeb publishes no P95, so alert on P90 held for several minutes, and keep the threshold a little lower than you would for P95. Its P99 on a small service is often one request.

How Opyntel alerts on Koyeb latency

Opyntel reads Koyeb’s P50, P90 and P99 response times, status classes and the 5xx error rate for every public Koyeb service and lists them in one table with your services on other platforms. It alerts when P90 latency or the error rate passes your threshold, or a service goes down, by email, Slack or SMS depending on your plan, and keeps history for 30 days on the free plan, a year on Pro and unlimited on Enterprise. Default rules cover every plan, and your own thresholds come with Pro.
