SOAP and REST APIs Performance Monitoring

[bashar.abed]

Hello,
I wonder if there is a ready made plugin or implementation to monitor the APIs (SOAP/REST) and provide the following telemetry data:
- Request/Response payload size
- Request/Response performance in terms of communication between client and server.
- SOAP and REST errors
- SOAP and REST endpoints availability
and other performance related metrics.

Appreciate your response,

There may be a plugin or plugins that may do what you are looking for.
Take a look at the Exchange site and search it to see if you can find anything that would work for you.

Not that I'm aware of, the SOAP and REST APIs differ per application on what/where they log and what things are available.

What standard SOAP/REST APIs specifically are you checking?

You can use check_http to see if they are working but it's up to you to define the metrics and what is required, see here for a check_http example:
