Introducing Network Observability

Today we're excited to announce the general availability of our new Network Observability Panel. Network Observability is a comprehensive monitoring solution integrated directly into your dashboard that provides industry leading visibility into proxy usage and performance metrics.

The Network Observability Panel improves how you can monitor and understand your proxy infrastructure by providing detailed, real-time analytics in several dimensions. Powerful filtering capabilities, graphing, and granular metrics allow you to analyze requests, optimize performance, and make data-driven decisions about your proxy infrastructure with much greater confidence.

Why We Built the Network Observability Panel

Over the past year, we've heard consistent feedback from customers about their need for deeper visibility into their proxy usage. Whether you're managing large-scale web scraping operations, running complex market research campaigns, or developing AI applications, understanding exactly how your proxies are performing is critical for success.

Our customers have asked for:

• Detailed visibility into which hostnames are consuming bandwidth
• The ability to troubleshoot performance issues by proxy user
• Historical usage patterns to inform scaling decisions

The Network Observability Panel addresses all these needs in one unified interface, giving you complete visibility into your requests without requiring external monitoring tools.

Features

Comprehensive Filtering System

The Observability Panel features an advanced filtering system that lets you drill down into exactly the data you need:

• Multi-dimensional filtering: Segment your data by hostname, proxy user, network type, or any combination of these parameters
• Time-based analysis: Examine performance across custom time ranges from hours to months
• Advanced operators: Apply filters using operators like not equals, contains, greater than, less than for precise data selection

Real-Time Performance Metrics

Gain immediate insights into how your proxies are performing:

• Error rate monitoring: Track success rates and error codes across all your requests
• Bandwidth utilization: View total bandwidth consumption broken down by dimension
• Request volume analysis: Monitor request patterns and identify usage spikes or anomalies

Detailed Traffic Analysis

The Network Observability Panel solves a common problem for many of our customers who have huge scale and send millions of proxy requests each day. Instead of looking for a needle in a haystack and wading through endless logs trying to understand what's happening with their traffic, we now provide customers with clear information summaries about their usage. Our panel automatically highlights the most important metrics—showing you exactly which websites, users, and networks are generating the most traffic and requests. This approach means you spend less time searching through data and more time making informed decisions about your proxy infrastructure.

The Top 100 Hostnames Analysis gives you complete visibility into your most frequently accessed domains with comprehensive statistics on each. Track request counts and distribution patterns, monitor success/failure ratios by hostname, measure bandwidth consumption per domain, and analyze response time averages and outliers to quickly identify performance bottlenecks or problematic endpoints.

With the Top 100 Proxy Users Overview, you can monitor your highest-volume users through detailed performance metrics. This view highlights total requests and bandwidth consumption, reveals error patterns and frequencies, enables performance comparisons across different users, and displays usage trends over time—helping you identify both power users and potential anomalies within your account.

All these summaries are generated in near real-time, giving you an up-to-the-minute view of your proxy activity but even better than that… every aspect of the panel supports flexible filtering, allowing you to narrow down your analysis to precisely what matters. Need to see the top 100 hostnames for a specific proxy user? Or examine network distribution for just a particular hostname? With a few clicks, you can slice the data across any dimension—by time period, proxy user, hostname, or network.

What's next?

Today's release is just the beginning of our observability and insights tooling we plan to create for customers. We're already working on additional features including:

Custom alerting based on performance thresholds

• Exportable reports
• Individual log inspector to identify and view information on specific exact requests
• Integration with popular monitoring platforms like Datadog and Grafana

Summary

The Network Observability Panel helps you better understand and manage your proxy usage by putting all the important information in one place. You no longer need separate tools or complex setups to monitor your proxy activity—everything is now available directly in your dashboard.

Whether you're fixing problems, improving performance, or planning for the future, this new panel gives you clear, useful data about how your proxies are working. You can see exactly what's happening with your proxies and make better decisions based on actual usage patterns.

The Network Observability Panel is available now in your dashboard.
