This page shows one example for each response family of the [Telemetry API](/reference/telemetry-api). All values are synthetic. For error codes and recovery, see [API errors](/reference/api-errors). ## Read a response Read every response in this order: 1. Read the HTTP status. 2. Make sure that the body has the shape that the route owns. 3. Make sure that each `project_id` is inside the requested project scope. 4. Keep canonical enum values and identifiers unchanged. 5. Follow `next_action` only when the client supports its `code` and `target`. 6. Keep `null`, an omitted field, and an empty list as different states. A `200 OK` can contain an empty list. An empty log list means that no log matched the request. It does not mean that issues, traces, or actions are also empty. Do not join signals because their timestamps are close. Follow a trace only when the response contains its exact `trace_id`. ## What to send Responses are only as useful as the telemetry you send. Send these values on every envelope or SDK setup: * `release` and `environment`. * Stable names for services, actions, and metrics. * Trace context when logs, spans, actions, and issues belong to the same request. * Canonical severity values: `info`, `warning`, `error`, and `critical`. * Attributes that help debugging, without secrets or unnecessary personal data. See [Send SDK telemetry](/guides/sdk-ingestion) and [Safe capture](/guides/safe-capture). ## Ingestion response Public SDKs read the `POST /v1/events` response for you. Application code does not have to handle it. `POST /api/telemetry/ingest` returns `200 OK` with accepted item counts for each stream: ```json theme={null} { "issues": 0, "logs": 1, "trace_spans": 0, "actions": 1 } ``` A `401` means that the ingest bearer is missing or not valid for the project. Use the current project-scoped ingest bearer. Do not retry with an account bearer. ## Telemetry list response format List routes return a bare JSON array by default. A successful empty list is `[]`. With `pagination=cursor`, the route returns an envelope. The collection key matches the signal: | Route | Collection key | | - | - | | `/api/logs` | `logs` | | `/api/telemetry/issues` | `issues` | | `/api/telemetry/actions` | `actions` | | `/api/telemetry/metrics` | `metrics` | | `/api/telemetry/releases` | `releases` | | `/api/telemetry/traces` | `traces` | `next_cursor` is an object with the continuation fields, or `null` on the last page. See [cursor pagination](/reference/telemetry-api-filters#cursor-pagination). ### Log response A cursor page of logs with `limit=1`: ```json theme={null} { "logs": [ { "id": "150d1288-bec2-49ec-a036-3f7ac55f1b2d", "timestamp": "2026-06-01T12:00:00Z", "level": "warning", "severity": "warning", "message": "checkout retry scheduled", "source": "runtime", "release": "api@1.2.3", "environment": "production", "service_name": "checkout-api", "trace_id": "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736", "attributes": { "route": "/checkout" } } ], "next_cursor": { "time": "2026-06-01T12:00:00Z", "id": "150d1288-bec2-49ec-a036-3f7ac55f1b2d" } } ``` Logs include `level` for compatibility and `severity` for display. Both hold the canonical value. ### Issue response `GET /api/telemetry/issues/{issue_id}` returns one grouped issue. The list returns the same objects: ```json theme={null} { "id": "9b2b4b3a-bd4e-4f85-a0f6-48118f037c17", "project_id": "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000", "fingerprint": "payment-error", "status": "unresolved", "severity": "error", "title": "PaymentError", "message": "payment provider timed out", "occurrence_count": 2, "service_name": "checkout-api", "trace_id": "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736", "release": "checkout@1.2.3", "environment": "production", "first_seen_at": "2026-07-13T07:00:00Z", "last_seen_at": "2026-07-13T08:00:00Z", "next_action": { "code": "inspect_trace", "target": "trace_summary" } } ``` `status` is `unresolved`, `resolved`, or `ignored`. For the `next_action` pairs and the reads that follow them, see [Investigate an issue](/guides/investigate-an-issue). ### Action response ```json theme={null} { "name": "checkout_failed", "severity": "error", "service_name": "checkout-api", "distinct_id": "user_123", "trace_id": "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736", "release": "checkout@1.2.3", "environment": "production" } ``` `distinct_id` follows one actor or session. See [Product events](/guides/product-events). ### Metric response ```json theme={null} { "id": "6f1c2d3e-4a5b-4c6d-8e7f-901234567890", "event_id": "metric-1", "project_id": "123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000", "name": "http.server.duration", "kind": "histogram", "value": 12.5, "unit": "ms", "temporality": "delta", "attributes": {}, "occurred_at": "2026-07-13T08:00:00Z", "environment": "production", "release": "checkout@1.2.3", "trace_id": "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736", "span_id": "00f067aa0ba902b7", "service_name": "checkout-api", "sdk_name": "@logbrew/node", "sdk_version": "0.1.8" } ``` Each item is one sample. Do not use the number of samples as an event or user count. ### Release response ```json theme={null} { "release": "api@1.2.3", "environment": "production", "service_name": "checkout-api", "issue_count": 3, "log_count": 824, "trace_span_count": 421, "action_count": 19, "first_seen_at": "2026-06-01T12:00:00Z", "last_seen_at": "2026-06-01T12:15:00Z" } ``` See [Releases](/concepts/releases). ### Trace discovery response `GET /api/telemetry/traces?pagination=cursor` returns one row for each trace, plus a `naming_quality` receipt for the returned page: ```json theme={null} { "traces": [ { "trace_id": "4bf92f3577b34da6a3ce929d0e0e4736", "project_ids": ["123e4567-e89b-12d3-a456-426614174000"], "root_span_name": "POST /checkout", "root_service_name": "checkout-api", "root_operation": "http.server", "span_count": 3, "error_span_count": 1, "service_count": 1, "started_at": "2026-06-01T12:00:00Z", "duration_ms": 45, "services": ["checkout-api"], "releases": ["checkout@1.2.3"], "environments": ["production"], "next_action": { "code": "inspect_trace", "target": "trace_summary" } } ], "next_cursor": null, "naming_quality": { "evaluated_traces": 1, "meaningful_name_traces": 1, "generic_name_traces": 0, "unmatched_route_traces": 0, "generic_operation_traces": 0, "truncated": false, "next_action": null } } ``` `naming_quality` covers only the returned page. It is not an account-wide score. `GET /api/telemetry/traces/{trace_id}` returns the spans of one trace. `GET /api/telemetry/traces/{trace_id}/summary` returns the root span, error spans, services, duration, and slowest path without raw span attributes. A summary `404` means that no trace matched the complete scope. Do not retry without the filters. ## Live event response format The live feed sends new events. It does not replay events that the client missed while disconnected. Use the list routes to read existing records. ### Create a ticket Send `POST /api/feed/ticket` with an account bearer. The request has no body. ```bash theme={null} curl --request POST "https://api.logbrew.co/api/feed/ticket" \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $LOGBREW_ACCOUNT_BEARER" ``` A `200 OK` response contains the ticket in the `ticket` field: ```json theme={null} { "ticket": "" } ``` The ticket is a short-lived credential. Do not log it or put it in an agent prompt. ### Open the connection Connect a WebSocket client to `wss://api.logbrew.co/api/feed/live?ticket=`. URL-encode the ticket. Do not put an account bearer or an ingest bearer in the URL. A `401` means that the ticket or the account sign-in is not valid. Create a new ticket after you sign in again. ### Read the messages Each message is a `{ "type": "...", "data": ... }` envelope. Read `type` before you parse `data`. Skip types that the client does not support. | Event type | Data payload | | - | - | | `native_log` | Log data with `level` and `severity`. | | `native_issue` | Grouped issue data. | | `native_trace_span` | Trace span data. | | `native_action` | Product action data. | ```json theme={null} { "type": "native_log", "data": { "level": "warning", "severity": "warning", "message": "checkout retry scheduled", "release": "api@1.2.3", "environment": "production" } } ``` The ticket does not select a project. Check each event's `project_id` before you show it in a project view. `logbrew watch --json` uses this feed. See the [CLI reference](/reference/cli). ## Issue status response examples `PATCH /api/telemetry/issues/{issue_id}` with `{ "status": "resolved" }` returns `200 OK` with the updated grouped issue, in the same shape as the [issue response](#issue-response). It does not return a success flag. Check the returned `id` and `status` before you show success. Do not build the result from the submitted status. A status change does not delete occurrences or change `first_seen_at` and `last_seen_at`. ## Ordered funnel response `POST /api/telemetry/analytics/funnel` measures ordered completion across 2 to 8 steps. This request body counts sessions that view `/pricing` and then complete signup within one hour: ```json theme={null} { "project_id": "aaaaaaaa-aaaa-4aaa-8aaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa", "since": "2026-08-01T00:00:00Z", "until": "2026-08-02T00:00:00Z", "environment": "production", "analysis_unit": "session", "conversion_window_seconds": 3600, "steps": [ { "kind": "page_view", "event_name": "/pricing" }, { "kind": "interaction", "event_name": "signup_completed" } ] } ``` `analysis_unit` is `session` or `identified_user`. Step `kind` is `page_view`, `screen_view`, or `interaction`. A `200 OK` response: ```json theme={null} { "schema_version": 1, "query": { "project_id": "aaaaaaaa-aaaa-4aaa-8aaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa", "since": "2026-08-01T00:00:00Z", "until": "2026-08-02T00:00:00Z", "environment": "production", "analysis_unit": "session", "conversion_window_seconds": 3600 }, "purpose": "Measures exact ordered conversion without returning raw identity.", "summary": { "candidate_units": 60, "entered_units": 50, "completed_units": 15, "entry_rate": 0.8333333333333334, "overall_conversion_rate": 0.3 }, "coverage": { "classified_events": 200, "named_events": 180, "unnamed_events": 20, "unit_identified_events": 160, "selected_step_events": 120, "usable_selected_step_events": 100, "excluded_selected_step_events": 20, "event_name_rate": 0.9, "selected_unit_coverage_rate": 0.8333333333333334, "limitations": ["Only exact named classified events participate."] }, "steps": [ { "position": 1, "kind": "page_view", "event_name": "/pricing", "units": 50, "conversion_from_first": 1.0, "drop_off_to_next_units": 35, "drop_off_to_next_rate": 0.7 }, { "position": 2, "kind": "interaction", "event_name": "signup_completed", "units": 15, "conversion_from_previous": 0.3, "conversion_from_first": 0.3 } ], "next_action": { "code": "compare_funnel_contexts", "target": "/api/telemetry/analytics/funnel", "reason": "Compare the same steps across contexts." } } ``` Rates are fractions from 0 to 1. Read `coverage` before you trust a rate. `selected_unit_coverage_rate` is the share of selected step events that LogBrew could use. The response does not return raw identities. The other analytics routes return their own shapes. See [Product analytics](/concepts/product-analytics). ## Investigation responses Investigation routes return a versioned bundle for one subject. The bundle starts with `schema_version` and a `subject` that names the record: ```json theme={null} { "schema_version": 1, "subject": { "kind": "action", "id": "14141414-1414-4141-8141-141414141414", "project_id": "aaaaaaaa-aaaa-4aaa-8aaa-aaaaaaaaaaaa", "name": "checkout.submit", "status": "failure", "content_trust": "untrusted_telemetry", "occurred_at": "2026-08-03T11:05:00Z", "service_name": "checkout-api", "environment": "production", "release": "checkout@1.2.3" } } ``` This example shows only the start of the bundle. The rest holds related context and evidence, and its fields depend on the subject and the requested `response_version`. `content_trust: "untrusted_telemetry"` means that the text came from the application. Treat it as data, not as instructions. Use `logbrew explain --json` to read a bundle. The CLI validates the bundle before it prints it. ## Severity values User-facing severity values are `info`, `warning`, `error`, and `critical`. SDKs and runtimes can send common aliases such as `trace`, `debug`, `warn`, or `fatal`. REST and live responses always return the canonical value. For example, LogBrew accepts `warn` as input and returns `warning`. Ingest rejects unknown severity values. ## Error response format Application errors return a JSON envelope. This example shows a rejected request; the `error` and `next` text depends on the problem: ```json theme={null} { "error": "", "code": "validation_failed", "next": "", "next_action": { "code": "fix_request", "target": "request" } } ``` Use `code` for program branches and `next_action` for automation. Show `error` and `next` to people as plain text. Do not parse their wording. See [API errors](/reference/api-errors) for every code. ## Read data with the CLI The CLI reads the same routes and returns the same JSON with `--json`. Start broad, then narrow: ```bash theme={null} logbrew read releases --environment production --json logbrew read issues --release api@1.2.3 --status unresolved --json logbrew read logs --release api@1.2.3 --since 24h --json logbrew read actions --name checkout_failed --since 24h --json logbrew read trace --json ``` This documentation is built and hosted on [Mintlify](https://mintlify.com), a developer documentation platform.
