ncScale Integration

As your no-code applications grow in complexity, ensuring reliability and security becomes paramount. Introducing Xano's integration with NC Scale, a powerful no-code observability and monitoring tool. This integration empowers you to gain comprehensive visibility into your Xano-built apps, enabling you to identify and troubleshoot issues proactively while delivering a seamless user experience at scale.

Setting Up the Integration: A Breeze

Integrating NC Scale with your Xano workspace is a straightforward process. Follow these simple steps:

1. Connect NC Scale: In your Xano workspace, navigate to the left-hand navigation bar and click on "Connect." Locate the NC Scale integration and click "Connect."
2. Authenticate with NC Scale: If you're new to NC Scale, create an account. Otherwise, sign in with your existing credentials.
3. Select Your NC Scale Workspace: Choose the NC Scale workspace you want to associate with your Xano workspace. This will enable observability and monitoring for your Xano apps within the selected NC Scale workspace.
4. Finalize the Integration: Click "Continue" to complete the integration process.

That's it! Your Xano workspace is now synced with NC Scale, allowing you to monitor API request history, background task logs, and custom logs you define within your function stacks.

Gain Comprehensive Visibility

With the Xano-NC Scale integration, you unlock a wealth of observability features:

1. API Request History: Get a bird's-eye view of all API requests made to your Xano apps, including request headers, input data, execution times, and response statuses.
2. Background Task Logs: Monitor the status and logs of background tasks running in your Xano workspace, ensuring smooth execution and identifying potential issues.
3. Custom Logging: Within your function stacks, you can leverage the `NC Scale send log` function to send custom logs to NC Scale. This powerful feature allows you to track specific events, errors, or variables relevant to your application's logic.
4. Log Retention: NC Scale retains your logs for 30 days, providing you with a comprehensive historical view of your application's performance and behavior.

Enhance Observability with Custom Logging

The `NC Scale send log` function empowers you to create granular logs within your function stacks. Here's how you can leverage this feature:

1. Define Log Severity: Specify the log severity level (e.g., verbose, info, warning, error, critical) to categorize your log based on its importance.
2. Craft Custom Messages: Provide a descriptive message that captures the context or purpose of your log.
3. Event Naming: Assign a name to your log event for easy identification and filtering.
4. Include Additional Data: Optionally, you can include extra data in JSON format, allowing you to log important variables, objects, or metadata relevant to your application's state.

By strategically placing these custom logs within your function stacks, you can gain deeper insights into your application's behavior, enabling more effective troubleshooting and optimizing performance.

Wrapping Up

Xano's integration with NC Scale empowers you to embrace observability and monitoring for your no-code applications. Whether you're a no-code enthusiast, citizen developer, traditional developer, or part of a startup or small business, this powerful integration equips you with the tools to ensure reliability, security, and a seamless user experience at scale.
