Shopify has introduced new logs and health metrics for custom apps in the Developer Dashboard. These new tools give developers a better way to monitor their apps and find issues.
Keep Track of App Performance
Developers can now view key app health data from the Developer Dashboard. This includes API request volume, error rates, webhook delivery health, and embedded admin page load speed.
Shopify also provides clear thresholds for these metrics. This makes it easier to see when something may not be working as expected.
Having this information in one place can save developers time. They can check app performance without having to use several different tools.
Find Problems With Filterable Logs
Shopify has also added a filterable event stream. It brings API requests, webhook deliveries, and app events together in one place.
Developers can use filters to find specific events. This can make it much easier to investigate an issue.
For example, if a webhook fails, developers can check the event stream to see what happened. They can also look at API activity and other related events. This can help them find the source of a problem faster.
A New Dashboard View
The update also includes a new Developer Dashboard home page. It gives developers an overview of their custom apps and points out areas that may need attention.
This can be useful for agencies and teams that manage several custom apps. Instead of checking each app separately, they can get a quick view of app health from the main dashboard.
Why This Update Matters
Keeping an app healthy is important for a smooth Shopify store experience. Small issues with API requests, webhooks, or app performance can sometimes affect how a store works.
The new tools give developers a clearer view of what is happening with their apps. They can spot errors, check important activity, and troubleshoot issues from the same dashboard.
Overall, Shopify’s update makes custom app monitoring simpler and more convenient. It gives developers better visibility into app performance and helps them respond to problems more quickly.
