e0280cb650 docs: restructure observability navigation and overview (#49505)
<!-- CURSOR_AGENT_PR_BODY_BEGIN -->
## Stack

Draft stack extracted from `docs/monitoring`. Merge bottom-up. The
troubleshooting *catalog* rewrite (`content/troubleshooting` and the
Diagnosing UI) stays out of scope.

1. #49503 move inspect and advisors
2. #49501 split Studio logs from ClickHouse queries
3. #49500 treat reports as signal dashboards
4. #49502 add Observe the data hub
5. #49506 add agent setup components
6. #49504 add hire-an-agent templates
7. **#49505** restructure observability nav, overview, Detecting, and
flatten Observe the data ← **this PR**

## I have read the
[CONTRIBUTING.md](https://github.com/supabase/supabase/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md)
file.

YES

## What kind of change does this PR introduce?

Docs update. Top layer in the observability stack.

## What is the current behavior?

The section is still titled Monitoring and Debugging, with a Debugging /
Monitoring split that does not match the new pages. The debugging guide
is still the master layer-isolation + symptom table. Observe the data is
split into “what data” vs “where to observe it,” which duplicates the
source pages.

## What is the new behavior?

- Section title is Observability
- Overview groups Observe the data, Detect and resolve, Hire an agent,
and Export
- **Observe the data is flattened by source.** Logs, Metrics API,
Database, Advisors, and Reports each list where to read that source.
There is no separate MCP/API/CLI/Studio nav group.
- **Observe vs Detecting:** Observe is the catalog (what exists, how to
access it). Detecting is how to *use* those sources to pick up a Health
/ Security / Performance / Usage signal. Named errors skip to
Diagnosing.
- Studio Logs sits under Logs. Reports sits beside the other sources.
- Troubleshooting stays in the global menu and also appears as
Diagnosing under Detect and resolve

## Additional context

This is the last PR in the stack. Together the seven PRs reconstruct the
`docs/monitoring` observability IA and guide content, without shipping
the troubleshooting catalog overhaul.

title: 'Metrics API'
description: 'Export Supabase database metrics to any Prometheus-compatible tool'
---
Every Supabase project exposes a [Prometheus](https://prometheus.io/)-compatible **Metrics API** endpoint that surfaces ~200 Postgres performance and health series. You can scrape it into any observability stack to power custom dashboards, alerting rules, or long-term retention that goes beyond what Supabase Studio provides out of the box.
Chart a subset of the same window in Studio [Reports](/docs/guides/observability/reports). Use this page when you want the Prometheus-compatible scrape endpoint.
<Admonition type="note">
The Metrics API is currently in beta. Metric names and labels might evolve as we expand the dataset, and the feature is not available in self-hosted Supabase instances.
</Admonition>
## What you can do with the Metrics API
- Stream database CPU, IO, WAL, connection, and query stats into Prometheus-compatible systems.
- Combine Supabase metrics with application signals in Grafana, Datadog, or any other observability vendor.
- Reuse our [supabase-grafana dashboard JSON](https://github.com/supabase/supabase-grafana) to bootstrap over 200 ready-made charts.
- Build your own alerting policies (right-sizing, saturation detection, index regression, and more).

## Choose your monitoring stack
Pick the workflow that best matches your tooling. Cards link to Supabase-authored guides or vendor integration docs, and some include a “Community” pill when there’s an accompanying vendor reference.
