# Observability Best Practices
## Introduction
@ -16,10 +18,14 @@ The purpose of this document is to provide an overview of some of the best pract
observability for your Hasura-driven product. We will cover the fundamentals of observability and provides general
recommendations on what Hasura considers as observability best practices.
While specifics of your product or system will define your configurations, we have used Hasura Cloud, Postgres, and
Datadog to build this guide. Wherever applicable, links are provided to the mentioned product’s documentation.
While specifics of your product or system will define your configurations, we have used Hasura Cloud, Postgres,
Prometheus and Grafana to build this guide. Wherever applicable, links are provided to the mentioned product’s

A sample dashboard based on Datadog is provided for you to replicate.
We also provide [pre-built Grafana Dashboards](/observability/enterprise-edition/prometheus/pre-built-dashboards.mdx)
for you to replicate.

#### Metrics via Prometheus
You can export metrics of your Hasura Cloud project to Prometheus. You can configure this on the `Integrations` tab on
the project's settings page. You can find more information on this
[here](/observability/cloud/prometheus.mdx).
You can export metrics of your Hasura Enterprise project to Prometheus easily via enabling the `metrics` API. You can find
more information on this [here](/observability/enterprise-edition/prometheus/integrate-prometheus-grafana.mdx).
For security reasons, the metrics endpoint should not be leaked to the internet. Or if unavoidable, the Prometheus
secret should be confidential to prevent misuse.
[Pre-built Grafana Dashboards](/observability/enterprise-edition/prometheus/pre-built-dashboards.mdx) are provided to
visualize Golden signal metrics that you will love for real-time monitoring.
#### Metrics via OpenTelemetry
Hasura Enterprise is open-telemetry compliant and can export metrics to third-party observability
platforms which support OpenTelemetry. Check out [the OpenTelemetry page](/observability/opentelemetry.mdx) for more information.
#### Distributed traces
Hasura Enterprise also can export distributed traces via OpenTelemetry. Read more at
