Monitoring and logs

Root & Branch Cloud includes built-in monitoring and centralised logging for every app and environment.

Application metrics

The dashboard shows key metrics for each app from the Metrics tab:

• CPU usage over time.
• Memory usage over time.
• Request count and latency.
• Error rates.
• Container restart counts.

Metrics are collected from Prometheus and displayed as charts in the dashboard. Historical data is available at daily, monthly, and yearly granularities via TimescaleDB continuous aggregates.

Live logs

Application logs are streamed to the dashboard from the Logs tab. You can:

• View logs in real time as they are produced.
• Filter by time range.
• The log stream uses SSE (server-sent events) so new log lines appear as they arrive.

Logs are collected from the Kubernetes API and shown per-container.

Deployment events

Deployment events are broadcast in real time via SSE. In the Activity tab of an app you can see:

• Build started / succeeded / failed.
• Deploy completed.
• Deployment history with commit SHA, branch, and trigger type.

This information comes from the deployments database table and gives you a timeline of every change to your app.

WordPress analytics

WordPress apps with analytics enabled report page views, events, and trends to the Analytics tab. End-user optics (KPI strip, page table, trend charts) are available in the Optics tab. These features use rab-analytics and require no additional setup beyond toggling them on.
