Monitor Render metrics and logs with AppSignal

AppSignal now supports Render’s Metrics Stream. Configure it once in your Render workspace and Render forwards OpenTelemetry metrics to the AppSignal Collector. Host metrics and automated dashboards show up in AppSignal within minutes.

Why teams on Render need more signal

Render makes deploys straightforward. When something regresses, the signal is often spread across HTTP latency, Postgres connections, and host CPU. Not a single 500 page.

With AppSignal on Render you can answer questions like:

• Are p95 or p99 latencies climbing after a deploy?
• Is Postgres running out of connections or hitting slow locks?
• Are Key Value services approaching their connection limit?
• Which Render service is driving CPU or memory pressure?

All your Render metrics, in one place

The AppSignal Collector receives the OpenTelemetry stream from Render. The Render router turns CPU, memory, disk usage, disk I/O, and network I/O into host metrics. Everything else under render.* becomes custom metrics that power the automated dashboards.

You only set up the stream once per Render workspace.

Render host metrics that make sense

CPU, memory, disk capacity, disk I/O, and network I/O for every Render service in the workspace appear on the same host metrics page as your other hosts.

Read the Render setup guide.

Render metrics, visualized

A single Metrics Stream gives you four views in AppSignal:

• Host metrics for every Render service.
• An HTTP dashboard for web services, with request volume and p50, p95, and p99 latency by host and status code.
• A Postgres dashboard for Render Postgres databases: connections, storage, transaction volume, slow locks, replication lag, and more.
• A Key Value dashboard for Render Key Value (Valkey/Redis) services, with active connections compared against the limit.

The dashboards are generated automatically. You only see the ones that apply to the Render services in your workspace.

Read the Render dashboards guide.

Get started in minutes

Configure the Metrics Stream in the Render dashboard:

1. Open Integrations > Observability and select + Add destination under Metrics Stream.
2. Choose Custom as the Observability provider.
3. Enter your AppSignal Collector URL as the endpoint.
4. Enter your AppSignal app-level push API key as the token.
5. Select Add destination.

Render’s Metrics Stream requires the Render workspace to be on the Pro plan or higher. The stream is configured per workspace, while AppSignal’s app-level push API key is per app. Pick the AppSignal app that should receive metrics for the whole workspace before you start.

Deploys and logs, covered

For deploy markers, install the AppSignal integration for your language. AppSignal picks up Render’s RENDER_GIT_COMMIT environment variable automatically. See deploy markers on Render.

Render logs use a separate setup. See Render Log Stream for AppSignal Logging.
