Observability
Monitor live requests, traces, sessions, and performance metrics for your server.
While Usage & traffic shows aggregate trends, the Observability tab shows individual events: every request flowing through the gateway, in real time.
Event stream
The event table lists each request with its status, timestamp, session, client, method, details, and duration. Search and filter to isolate specific tools, error responses, or clients.
Click an event to open the session detail view: the full sequence of requests in that MCP session, so you can reconstruct exactly what a client did, initialization, tool listing, tool calls, and errors, in order.
Payload capture
By default Manufact stores request metadata only. Toggle Capture payloads to also store full request and response bodies for each event, invaluable when debugging why a tool call failed or what arguments a client actually sent.
Sensitive data
Payloads can contain user data. Enable capture only when you need it, and disable it again when you're done debugging.
Performance metrics
Charts above the event stream track request volume, error rates, and latency over time, scoped to the same filters as the table.
Retention
Observability data follows the same retention windows as analytics: 7 days on Free, 30 on Hobby, 365 on Startup, unlimited on Enterprise.
