Meter Health
Monitor event ingestion continuity, detect gaps and anomalies, and track the health status of your Stripe billing meters.
Meter Health monitors the continuity and reliability of event ingestion across your Stripe billing meters. It surfaces gaps, anomalies, and silence periods so you can catch billing data issues before they affect invoices.
Health signals
Section titled “Health signals”Each meter is assigned a health status based on observed ingestion patterns:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Healthy | Events arriving as expected with no detected gaps or anomalies |
| Warning | Reduced event volume or a short ingestion gap — worth investigating |
| No events | No events ingested for a period longer than expected based on history |
| New | Meter was recently created and does not yet have an established baseline |
Gap detection
Section titled “Gap detection”A gap is a period with no meter events where events were expected based on prior ingestion history. MeterMonitor flags a gap when:
A meter with consistent daily events has no events for 24 hours or more.
Event volume drops more than 80% compared to the same period in the prior week.
A meter that had events in the current billing period stops receiving events mid-period.
Anomaly signals
Section titled “Anomaly signals”In addition to gaps, Meter Health surfaces:
Volume spike — event count significantly exceeds the normal range for the period.
Volume drop — event count is significantly below the normal range.
Duplicate cluster — unusually high proportion of events share the same idempotency key, customer, and timestamp combination.
Meter detail view
Section titled “Meter detail view”Clicking a meter opens its detail view, which shows:
Event volume chart for the last 30 days.
Health status history.
Recent gaps or anomalies with timestamps.
Top customers contributing events.
Last event received.
Acting on health issues
Section titled “Acting on health issues”If a meter shows a gap or warning:
Check whether your integration is still sending events to Stripe for that meter.
Review recent Stripe webhook logs or API call logs for errors.
Verify the meter's
event_name matches what your integration is reporting.Use the meter detail view to identify the exact time events stopped.
