Observability is now built into Miget. Every app and every resource has an Observability tab that exposes metrics and logs and gives you one-click access to a managed Grafana stack. No agents to install, no separate vendor signup, no separate bill on the Basic tier.
What shipped
A new Observability tab appears in the sidebar of every app and resource. From it you can:
- See your workspace's observability Plan (Basic or Pro) and current usage caps.
- Read live log ingestion for the workspace, with a usage bar against your monthly limit.
- Check log retention and metrics retention at a glance.
- Click Dashboard to jump straight into a managed Grafana org. We sign you in via a magic link, so there is no separate Grafana account to provision.
Logs, metrics, and dashboards all live in the managed Grafana stack we run for your workspace. The Observability tab on each app and resource is the entry point and the meter.
Why it matters
A typical PaaS leaves you to plug in Datadog, New Relic, or Grafana Cloud once you outgrow basic stdout. That adds another bill, another login, and another agent to babysit. We wanted the default app view on Miget to answer the obvious questions when something breaks: is it CPU, is it memory, was there a recent deploy, are requests still landing?
Observability is now the default. Every workspace gets it for free, and the data is yours from day one.
Plans
| Plan | Log ingestion | Log retention | Metrics retention |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic (free) | 3 GB / month | 3 days | 30 days |
| Pro | Higher caps | Longer retention | Longer retention |
Pro is also surfaced as Included in your plan for customers whose Resource plan already bundles the Pro tier. Observability is on by default for every workspace; you can upgrade the plan from Workspace Settings > Integrations.
How to use it
From an app or resource
Open the Observability tab. You will see:
- Plan badge (Basic, Pro, or Included in your plan).
- Log Ingestion card with current usage in GB and the monthly limit.
- Log Retention and Metrics Retention cards in days.
- A Dashboard button that opens Grafana in a new tab, signed in with a magic link.
In Grafana
Once you are in Grafana, you have full control over panels, time ranges, alerting rules, and folder structure. Application logs and metrics for the workspace are pre-configured as data sources, so you can build custom dashboards without touching connection strings.
Roles
When you click Dashboard, we add you to the workspace's Grafana org with a role that matches your Miget role. Workspace admins get edit rights; members get view rights. You do not need to manage Grafana users separately.
Technical details
The Observability stack is a managed Grafana org per workspace, fronted by the new Observability views in the Miget dashboard. We provision the org for every workspace, generate magic-link sign-in URLs on demand, and meter log ingestion against your plan's monthly cap. Because every Miget app runs in its own CloudHypervisor microVM, the metrics and logs you see are real per-app numbers, not estimates aggregated from a shared container.
Get started
- Open any app or resource on app.miget.com and click the Observability tab. The Basic tier is on by default for every workspace.
- Read the monitoring documentation for the full reference.
- Need higher caps or longer retention? Open Workspace Settings > Integrations to upgrade.
