You are tasked with monitoring a critical API that is used by several applications. What metrics would you prioritize and how would you respond to anomalies?
- Prioritize response time and error rates. Respond to anomalies by ignoring them, as they are often false alarms.
- Focus on request volume and ignore response times. Respond to anomalies by conducting regular code reviews.
- Prioritize error rates and system resource utilization. Respond to anomalies by investigating the cause and taking appropriate actions.
- Monitor user satisfaction and response time. Respond to anomalies by ignoring them if they don't affect users.
Monitoring a critical API requires tracking relevant metrics. Prioritizing error rates and system resource utilization (Option 3) is the most appropriate choice, as it helps identify issues and performance problems. Response times are essential but should not be the sole focus. Option 1 suggests ignoring anomalies, which is not advisable, and option 2 is less relevant to anomaly response. Option 4 lacks the essential focus on error rates and resource utilization.
