Radar – Cloud Services Observability in Cloudflare Radar

Radar introduces HTTP Origins insights, providing visibility into the status of traffic between Cloudflare’s global network and cloud-based origin infrastructure.

The new Origins API provides provides the following endpoints:

• /origins – Lists all origins (cloud providers and associated regions).
• /origins/{origin} – Retrieves information about a specific origin (cloud provider).
• /origins/timeseries – Retrieves normalized time series data for a specific origin, including the following metrics:
  • REQUESTS: Number of requests
  • CONNECTION_FAILURES: Number of connection failures
  • RESPONSE_HEADER_RECEIVE_DURATION: Duration of the response header receive
  • TCP_HANDSHAKE_DURATION: Duration of the TCP handshake
  • TCP_RTT: TCP round trip time
  • TLS_HANDSHAKE_DURATION: Duration of the TLS handshake
• /origins/summary – Retrieves HTTP requests to origins summarized by a dimension.
• /origins/timeseries_groups – Retrieves timeseries data for HTTP requests to origins grouped by a dimension.

The following dimensions are available for the summary and timeseries_groups endpoints:

• region: Origin region
• success_rate: Success rate of requests (2XX versus 5XX response codes)
• percentile: Percentiles of metrics listed above

Additionally, the Annotations and Traffic Anomalies APIs have been extended to support origin outages and anomalies, enabling automated detection and alerting for origin infrastructure issues.
