Log in to Bud AI Foundry. 2. Click **Observability** in the left navigation. 3. Confirm you can access **Metrics**, **Requests**, and **Rules** tabs. ## Step 2: Set Time Window 1. Choose a preset such as **Last 1 hour** or **Last 24 hours**. 2. Use the custom date picker when you need precise comparison windows. ```mermaid theme={null} flowchart LR A[Select Time Range] --> B[Review Metrics] B --> C[Filter Requests] C --> D[Inspect Request Details] D --> E[Adjust or Add Rules] ``` ## Step 3: Review Metrics 1. On **Metrics**, pivot the view by **Model**, **Deployment**, **Project**, or **User**. 2. Inspect KPI cards for request count, success/failure, latency, and token usage. 3. Check charts for spikes in latency, TTFT, or request volume. ## Step 4: Investigate Requests 1. Switch to **Requests**. 2. Apply search and filters (project, endpoint type, latency, tokens). 3. Sort by response time to identify outliers. 4. Open a request for full metadata and payload details. Image ## Step 5: Validate Rules 1. Open **Rules**. 2. Filter by type and status. 3. Verify active rules align with current traffic behavior. Image ## Next Steps Learn the data model and investigation patterns Resolve common observability issues
