The need to make decisions within seconds has become a reality for security, platform, and development teams. In distributed environments — with dynamic applications, multiple APIs, and critical protection services constantly active — having complete visibility into operational events is what separates early detection of incidents from performance degradation.
This is the context in which Azion Real-Time Events reaches General Availability (GA), establishing a new standard for real-time event monitoring and analysis.
The product provides rapidly updated data that is accessible in a single solution, with flexible querying through the Console or GraphQL API. Keep reading to learn more!
What is Azion Real-Time Events?
Real-Time Events is Azion’s solution for tracking, analyzing, and querying events generated by applications, APIs, and security services. It was designed to deliver accurate and up-to-date information across different layers of your operation.
With Real-Time Events, you can:
- View events in near real time;
- Investigate failures, errors, and unexpected behaviors;
- Detect threats quickly;
- Correlate events from different sources in a single place;
- Run advanced queries for analysis and troubleshooting.
In distributed environments with increasingly sophisticated threats, fast decisions require reliable visibility — and the product delivers exactly that.
How does Real-Time Events work?
Real-Time Events collects, organizes, and makes available the events generated by your applications and Azion services practically in real time. It operates in a simple and efficient way:
1. Automatic event capture
Real-Time Events continuously receives events in an automatic way, without requiring additional configuration from the user.
2. Organized into data sources
Each event type is organized into a specific data source — such as HTTP Requests, Functions, Tiered Cache, or DNS — enabling precise searches and detailed investigations.
3. Low-latency availability
Events become accessible quickly, allowing teams to identify unexpected behaviors, errors, and potential threats close to real time.
4. Seven-day retention with no sampling
All events are preserved for 168 hours — essential for performance analysis, debugging, and security incident investigations.
5. Query via Console or GraphQL API
You can explore data visually through the Azion Console or automate queries via GraphQL for integrations with SIEMs, internal pipelines, or custom dashboards.
Key benefits of Real-Time Events
RTE was built to increase operational clarity, accelerate response times, and improve reliability in modern environments. Its main benefits include:
1. Complete data with no event loss
No event is discarded — even during high traffic — enabling more accurate analysis and audits.
2. Faster detection and response
With an average latency of approximately 40 seconds, errors, anomalies, and threats are identified almost immediately.
3. Unified operational visibility
Events from applications, APIs, and security services are consolidated into a single product, simplifying correlation and reducing tool fragmentation.
4. More efficient debugging and troubleshooting
Access to RAW logs and advanced queries accelerates investigations and reduces mean time to resolution (MTTR).
5. Full flexibility for investigation and integration
Use the Console for quick analysis or GraphQL for automation and integrations with tools like SIEMs, Grafana, or Splunk via Data Stream.
6. Cost control and predictability
Pricing based on Data Scan and Storage brings transparency and helps teams manage consumption effectively. Learn more in Pricing.

Where Real-Time Events makes the biggest impact
RTE is essential across several operational workflows, including:
Performance optimization: Identify bottlenecks quickly and improve application behavior.
Real-time security: Detects and responds to threats efficiently, including low-intensity attacks or suspicious traffic patterns.
Troubleshooting and debugging: Diagnose issues accurately using detailed logs and targeted queries.
Incident management: Track impacts and changes in real time, simplifying incident analysis.
Data-driven development: Use real behavioral insights to set priorities, fix issues, and evolve features.
How Real-Time Events strengthens application security
Security teams often face attacks that are difficult to detect when logs are sampled or distributed across multiple tools. With complete, rapidly updated data, it becomes possible to:
- Identify suspicious patterns within seconds;
- Monitor low-volume and low-frequency attacks;
- Detect sophisticated bots and abnormal traffic;
- Respond before an incident becomes critical.
The combination of complete data + fast updates + unified access represents a major step forward for modern security operations.
With Real-Time Events, Azion reinforces its commitment to delivering robust, fast, and reliable observability for modern applications, ensuring security, performance, and efficiency in distributed environments.
