Privacy Proxy - Privacy Proxy metrics now available via GraphQL Analytics API

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 GMT

Privacy Proxy metrics are now queryable through Cloudflare's GraphQL Analytics API, the new default method for accessing Privacy Proxy observability data. All metrics are available through a single endpoint:

curl https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/graphql \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer <API_TOKEN>" \
  --header "Content-Type: application/json" \
  --data '{
    "query": "{ viewer { accounts(filter: { accountTag: $accountTag }) { privacyProxyRequestMetricsAdaptiveGroups(filter: { date_geq: $startDate, date_leq: $endDate }, limit: 10000, orderBy: [date_ASC]) { count dimensions { date } } } } }",
    "variables": {
      "accountTag": "<YOUR_ACCOUNT_TAG>",
      "startDate": "2026-04-04",
      "endDate": "2026-04-06"
    }
  }'

Available nodes

Four GraphQL nodes are now live, providing aggregate metrics across all key dimensions of your Privacy Proxy deployment:

privacyProxyRequestMetricsAdaptiveGroups — Request volume, error rates, status codes, and proxy status breakdowns.
privacyProxyIngressConnMetricsAdaptiveGroups — Client-to-proxy connection counts, bytes transferred, and latency percentiles.
privacyProxyEgressConnMetricsAdaptiveGroups — Proxy-to-origin connection counts, bytes transferred, and latency percentiles.
privacyProxyAuthMetricsAdaptiveGroups — Authentication attempt counts by method and result.

All nodes support filtering by time, data center (coloCode), and endpoint, with additional node-specific dimensions such as transport protocol and authentication method.

What this means for existing OpenTelemetry users

OpenTelemetry-based metrics export remains available. The GraphQL Analytics API is now the recommended default method — a plug-and-play method that requires no collector infrastructure, saving engineering overhead.
