Workers VPC - Observability for Workers VPC Services
Key Points
- Per-service Metrics tab
- Connection/latency/error breakdowns
- Edit service settings in dashboard
Summary
Each Workers VPC Service in the Cloudflare dashboard now includes a Metrics tab and enhanced Settings controls. Engineers can inspect connection health, latency trends, and error breakdowns (with filters for upstream/client/internal failures) and edit VPC Service configuration, host details, and port assignments without leaving the dashboard.
Key Points
- Metrics tab per VPC Service: view successful vs failed connections over time and identify the responsible party (Bad Upstream, Client, Internal).
- Latency monitoring: track connection and DNS resolution latency trends to spot regressions or network issues.
- Error analysis: drill into error codes grouped by category and filter by upstream, client, or internal failures; refer to the Troubleshooting docs for full error-code details.
- Settings tab: view and edit VPC Service configuration, host details, and port assignments directly from the dashboard.
Practical steps for engineers
- Open the VPC Service in the dashboard, use the Metrics tab to triage failures and correlate with recent config or origin changes.
- Use error filters to isolate upstream vs client vs internal faults before escalating to origin teams or Cloudflare support.
- Monitor latency trends; add alerts or integrate dashboard metrics into your observability tooling where possible.
