Last verified 1 Oct 2026
DigitalOcean Insights provides observability for supported resources through metrics, logs, traces, custom dashboards, and metric alerts.
DigitalOcean Insights is available in public preview. Insights provides dashboards, metrics, logs, traces, and metric alerts for supported resources. Available telemetry depends on the resource type, region, and configuration.
Dashboards
Dashboards let you monitor related metrics from supported resources in a single view. You can manage custom dashboards and customize dashboards with charts, queries, variables, and groups.
Metrics
Metrics help you monitor resource health and utilization, investigate performance changes, and compare behavior over time. Available metrics, units, dimensions, and collection behavior vary by resource. For more information, see How to Explore and Query Metrics.
Logs
Insights gives you one place to search, filter, and inspect logs from supported DigitalOcean resources, helping you investigate errors, resource activity, and application behavior. For more information, see How to View Logs.
Traces
Traces help you investigate how requests move across supported services and workloads so you can identify latency, errors, and other request-level issues. For more information, see How to View Traces.
Metric Alerts
Metric alerts notify you when supported resource metrics meet conditions you define, helping you detect changes without continuously monitoring dashboards. For more information, see How to Manage Metric Alerts.
