API Observability / Delivery Tracing
Webhook Delivery Inspector
Operational webhook inspector for delivery failures, retries, and destination health.
Best for
webhook debugging, retries, and third-party delivery visibility
Explains
where webhook attempts fail, how retries stack up, and which destinations are drifting out of SLA
Why it matters
Webhook failures rarely look urgent until a downstream system goes stale. Delivery tracing surfaces retry behavior and destination health before the issue becomes support noise.
Design Intent
Keep event type, destination, payload summary, and retry history in one inspection surface so teams can debug outbound integrations without jumping between logs.
System Signals
- delivery status
- retry count
- latency to destination
- attempt timeline
Use Cases
- Check whether failed deliveries belong to one destination or a broader outage
- Review retry backoff behavior before changing webhook policy
- Give engineers a compact trace when partners report missing events
Design Notes
- Retries should be visible as sequence, not just a badge total
- Payload summaries need enough context without exposing raw secrets
- Destination health should read like operational state, not generic success UI
Webhook Delivery Inspector
Inspect outbound webhook events, retry chains, and destination failures without stitching together delivery logs by hand.
