Analytics and Monitoring

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

The current implementation lacks detailed analytics and monitoring of API key usage. Without this, gaining insights into how API keys are used, identifying patterns, troubleshooting issues, and optimizing performance is challenging. This absence of visibility can hinder effective management and the proactive resolution of potential issues.

Describe the solution you'd like

I propose the integration of an analytics and monitoring system specifically tailored to API key usage. This system should provide real-time insights such as the number of requests, most accessed endpoints, and error rates for each API key. A comprehensive dashboard that visually represents this data would be highly beneficial, allowing for easy interpretation and analysis. Additionally, maintaining historical data would facilitate trend analysis and the review of API key usage over time.

Describe alternatives you've considered

An alternative could be the integration with third-party analytics and monitoring tools. However, a built-in solution specifically designed for this package would ensure better compatibility, consistency, and ease of use. Another alternative could be manual log analysis, which would be more time-consuming, less efficient, and likely less comprehensive than an automated analytics and monitoring system.

Additional context

Having a robust analytics and monitoring system would significantly enhance the package by providing valuable insights into API key usage patterns and performance. This would facilitate better management, optimization, and troubleshooting, ultimately leading to a more secure and efficient system. The feature could also include alerting mechanisms to notify administrators of unusual activities or exceeded thresholds, enabling a quick response to potential issues.
