# Monitor your APIs

Understanding how your APIs are used — request volume, latency, error rates, and undocumented endpoints — is essential for reliability and security. Cloudflare API Shield Analytics discovers endpoints from observed traffic, Logpush streams logs to your analytics platform, and Workers Analytics Engine tracks custom business metrics.

## Solutions

### API Shield Analytics

Discover endpoints and monitor API traffic patterns. [Learn more about API Shield Analytics](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api-shield/security/api-discovery/).

* **API discovery** \- Automatically find undocumented endpoints from observed traffic
* **Traffic analysis** \- Understand request volume, latency, and usage patterns per endpoint

### Logpush

Stream logs from Cloudflare products to external destinations. [Learn more about Logpush](https://developers.cloudflare.com/logs/).

* **Log export** \- Stream detailed API request logs to your Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) system, data warehouse, or analytics platform

### Workers Analytics Engine

Store and query time-series analytics data from Workers. [Learn more about Workers Analytics Engine](https://developers.cloudflare.com/analytics/analytics-engine/).

* **Custom metrics** \- Track business-specific Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) such as per-customer usage and error rates
