Monitoring

Monitoring allows you to visualize and quantify the performance and traffic of your projects on Vercel. You can use example queries or create custom queries to debug and optimize bandwidth, errors, performance, and bot traffic issues in a production or preview deployment.

Charts allow you to explore your query results in detail. Use filters to adjust the date, data granularity, and chart type (line or bar).

Hover and move your mouse across the chart to view your data at a specific point in time. For example, if the data granularity is set to 1 hour, each point in time will provide a one-hour summary.

To get started with the most common scenarios, use our Example Queries. You cannot edit or add new example queries. For a list of the available options, view our example queries docs.

You can no longer save new Monitoring queries as the feature has now been sunset.

Instead, use observability queries, which can be saved into Notebooks.

You can manage your saved personal and team queries from the query console. Select a query from the left navigation bar and click on the vertical ellipsis (⋮) in the upper right-hand corner. You can choose to Duplicate, Rename, or Delete the selected query from the dropdown menu.

Duplicating a query creates a copy of the query in the same folder. You cannot copy queries to another folder. To rename a saved query, use the ellipses (⋮) drop-down menu or directly click its title to edit.

Deleting a saved personal or team query is permanent and irreversible. To delete a saved query, click the Delete button in the confirmation modal.

You may encounter errors such as invalid queries when using Monitoring. For example, defining an incorrect location parameter generates an invalid query. In such cases, no data appears.

You can no longer enable Monitoring on Pro plans as the feature has now been sunset.

From the end of billing cycle in Nov 2025, Vercel will sunset Monitoring for pro plans. Pro users will no longer see the Monitoring tab. Current enterprise users with monitoring access will keep the deprecated version of monitoring. If you want to continue using the full Monitoring capabilities or purchase a product similar to Monitoring, consider moving to Query.
