Usage Reporting in Hive Router

Hive Router (Rust) now supports Usage Reporting, enabling you to send metrics about your GraphQL operations directly to Hive Console. This integration allows you to monitor performance, track schema usage, and analyze client activity for traffic handled by Router.

Configuration

We've added a usage_reporting configuration object that gives you full control over how usage data is reported. You can configure sampling rates, buffer sizes, timeouts, and more to ensure reporting doesn't impact your router's performance.

Here is an example configuration:

usage_reporting:
  # Enable reporting by providing your access token
  access_token: "your-secret-token" # or set HIVE_ACCESS_TOKEN env var
  target_id: "your-target-id" # or set HIVE_TARGET env var

  # Report 50% of requests
  sample_rate: 50%

  # Buffer settings
  flush_interval: 10s
  buffer_size: 500

  # Exclude specific operations
  exclude:
    - IntrospectionQuery

  # Custom client identification headers
  client_name_header: "x-client-name"
  client_version_header: "x-client-version"

Key Options

• sample_rate: Control the percentage of requests to report (e.g., 100% for all traffic, or 10% for sampling).
• buffer_size and flush_interval: Optimize network usage by batching reports.
• exclude: Filter out specific operations (like introspection) from being reported.
• client_name_header and client_version_header: Customize how clients are identified in your metrics.
