Response Time Monitoring

Downtime isn't the only problem—slow responses frustrate users too. Sandglass tracks response times so you can spot performance issues before they become outages.

Measure latency over time

Visualize how quickly your services respond through time-based charts that highlight changes in latency.

  • Track average and peak response times.
  • Compare performance before and after deployments.
  • Identify slow services that need attention.

Performance thresholds and alerts

Configure performance thresholds for key monitors so you're notified when response times cross a level that would impact users.

Use these signals to catch issues like slow database queries, overloaded instances, or misconfigured caches before they become full outages.

Detect gradual degradation

Not every incident is a hard failure. Sandglass helps you see gradual performance regressions so you can fix them proactively.

  • Spot slow trends over days or weeks.
  • Correlate performance changes with new releases.
  • Prioritize work on the most impactful slowdowns.

Performance reports for stakeholders

Turn performance data into clear reports that non-technical stakeholders can understand. Share response time trends in review meetings, project updates, and customer conversations.
