# Observe

> Full observability for your visual AI: requests, executions, completions, and usage metrics

The Overview dashboard gives you a real-time look at your VLM Run platform usage, including total activity, success rate, average latency, and credits used. Track requests, executions, and completions to monitor performance over time.

</div>

<Tip>Everything you see here is also available through the API. See the [API reference](/api-reference/index) to query requests, executions, and completions programmatically.</Tip>

## Filtering

Click the date picker in the top right corner to filter the data to any specific timeframe you want to analyze.

<div className="platform-figure">
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/autonomiai/31N4NFzIelpYJkPB/images/platform-observe-filter-date.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=31N4NFzIelpYJkPB&q=85&s=e59412c0fec2240056ab30b24577f1ee" alt="Filter by date range" width="2712" height="1518" data-path="images/platform-observe-filter-date.png" />
</div>

You can also click the grouping button in the top right of the two large charts to change the time grouping - choose from Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Quarterly, or Yearly.

</div>

<Tip>Hover over the chart to see the data breakdown and credits used for each grouped time period.</Tip>

</div>

## Drill Down

Clicking anywhere on a chart takes you to a drill-down view of that data - an easy way to see the requests, executions, and completions that ran during that time period. Clicking an individual item takes you to its details page.

## Dashboard Metrics

The overview page shows four key indicators at a glance:

| Metric              | What it tells you                                                               |
| ------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Total Activity**  | The number of requests, executions, and completions in the selected time window |
| **Success Rate**    | The percentage of calls that completed without errors                           |
| **Average Latency** | Mean response time across all endpoints, broken down by type                    |
| **Credits Used**    | Total credit consumption with trend over time                                   |

## Three Views, One Story

Observe is organized into three complementary views that let you drill down from high-level metrics to individual outputs:

<CardGroup cols={3}>
  <Card title="Requests" icon="arrow-right-arrow-left" href="/platform/observe/requests">
    Model requests with status, duration, and cost.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Executions" icon="list-check" href="/platform/observe/executions">
    Agent executions with step-by-step traces, artifacts, and timing.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Completions" icon="circle-check" href="/platform/observe/completions">
    Chat completions with model, token usage, and the full input and output payload.
  </Card>
</CardGroup>

## Typical Workflows

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Debug a failed extraction" icon="bug">
    Filter Requests by status `error`, find the failing call, and inspect the request payload and error response. Cross-reference with the Completion to see what the model actually returned.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Track cost by skill" icon="dollar-sign">
    Filter Requests or Completions by skill name to see how many credits each skill is consuming. Identify expensive skills and optimize prompts or schemas to reduce token usage.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Compare model performance" icon="scale-balanced">
    Review Completions across different models or skill versions to compare output quality, latency, and cost. Use this to decide when to promote a new skill version to production.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Monitor production health" icon="heart-pulse">
    Check the overview dashboard for success rate drops or latency spikes. Set up alerts via webhooks when metrics cross thresholds.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>
