Set up comprehensive observability for Windsurf integrations with metrics, traces, and alerts.
Use when implementing monitoring for Windsurf operations, setting up dashboards,
or configuring alerting for Windsurf integration health.
Trigger with phrases like "windsurf monitoring", "windsurf metrics",
"windsurf observability", "monitor windsurf", "windsurf alerts", "windsurf tracing".
Monitor Windsurf AI IDE adoption, feature usage, and productivity impact across your team. Covers Admin Dashboard analytics, custom tracking via extensions, and ROI measurement.
Prerequisites
Windsurf Teams or Enterprise plan
Admin dashboard access at windsurf.com/dashboard
Team members actively using Windsurf
Instructions
Step 1: Access Admin Dashboard Analytics
Navigate to Admin Dashboard > Analytics for team-wide metrics:
# Key metrics available in Windsurf Admin Dashboard
core_metrics:
adoption:
active_users_daily: "Unique developers using Windsurf per day"
seat_utilization: "Active users / total seats (target: >80%)"
feature_adoption: "Which AI features each user uses"
quality:
completion_acceptance_rate: "Supercomplete suggestions accepted vs shown"
cascade_flow_success_rate: "Cascade tasks completed vs failed"
consumption:
credits_consumed_per_user: "Monthly credit usage per team member"
credits_by_model: "Which AI models consume the most credits"
efficiency:
tasks_per_session: "Average Cascade interactions per session"
time_saved_estimate: "Based on task complexity and completion speed"
Step 2: Set Up Usage Alerts
Monitor for underutilization and overuse:
# Alert thresholds for team management
alerts:
low_adoption:
condition: "seat_utilization < 50% for 7 days"
action: "Schedule team training session"
low_acceptance_rate:
condition: "completion_acceptance_rate < 20% for 7 days"
action: "Review .windsurfrules — AI suggestions not matching project patterns"
high_cascade_failures:
condition: "cascade_success_rate < 50% for 3 days"
action: "Check workspace config — .codeiumignore may be too aggressive"
credit_overspend:
condition: "team_credits > 80% consumed before month half"
action: "Review per-user usage, coach on credit conservation"
inactive_seats:
condition: "user has <10 interactions in 30 days"
action: "Offer training or downgrade to Free tier"
Step 3: Build Custom Extension for Detailed Tracking
Track these metrics over time in your preferred dashboard tool:
## Recommended Dashboard Panels
1. Daily Active Users vs Total Seats (line chart)
- Shows adoption trend
- Alert when utilization drops below 70%
2. Completion Acceptance Rate (line chart, 7-day rolling avg)
- Higher = better .windsurfrules quality
- Drop = rules need updating or team needs training
3. Cascade Success Rate (bar chart, weekly)
- Tracks agentic task effectiveness
- Low rate = prompts too vague or workspace too large
4. Credits per Developer (bar chart, monthly)
- Identifies power users vs underutilizers
- Guides seat tier decisions
5. Top Workflows Used (table)
- Shows which automated workflows team uses most
- Identifies candidates for new workflows
steps:
1. Export member usage from Admin Dashboard
2. Sort by credits consumed (ascending)
3. Bottom 20%: offer training or downgrade to Free
4. Top 10%: interview for best practices to share
5. Reallocate freed seats to new team members
