Usage Monitoring
Auditing performance, latency, and costs in real-time.
User Journey: Transparency through Usage History
As you integrate DocsRouter into your applications, maintaining visibility into your API consumption is vital. The Usage History dashboard provides a real-time window into your document processing ecosystem.

The Experience
The usage journey is designed for observability, helping developers monitor performance, track costs, and debug integration issues.
1. High-Level Metrics
The dashboard opens with "at-a-glance" cards summarizing account health:
- Total Requests: Cumulative count of OCR operations.
- Pages Processed: Essential for volume-based tracking.
- Total Cost: Real-time dollar amounts based on model selection.
- Avg Latency: A key performance indicator for user-facing applications.
2. Request Auditing
The Request History table provides a ledger of every interaction:
- Traceability: Each request has a unique ID (
req_...). - Model Breakdown: See exactly which models were utilized (e.g., Gemini 2.0 Flash).
- Performance Tracking: Individual latency and cost for every single processing job.
3. Smart Filtering
The history table includes quick filters to isolate Successes from Errors, facilitating rapid troubleshooting.
Observability Highlights
- Visual Charts: Pulse graphs provide a temporal view of request volume.
- Cost Transparency: No hidden fees; every request is accounted for down to the cent.
- Historical Data: Reliable logging that scales with your application.
