How does chained API monitoring work in Acumen Logs?

Chained API monitoring lets you run a sequence of HTTP requests, extract variables like auth tokens or order IDs from one response, and pass them into the next request.

Single-request ping checks cannot verify authenticated endpoints or multi-step API workflows. With Acumen Logs API Monitoring, you can:

  • Chain Multiple Requests: Send an initial authentication request, extract a bearer token or resource ID from the JSON response, and pass it into subsequent requests using variable syntax (such as {{token}}).
  • Validate Payloads & Contracts: Assert on HTTP status code ranges, latency thresholds, response headers, specific JSON key values, or full JSON schema contracts.
