[Faraday](https://github.com/lostisland/faraday) is an HTTP client library that provides a single interface over many HTTP adapters. AppSignal instruments Faraday requests automatically when the Faraday gem is detected on start. No manual setup is required.

Faraday sends requests through an underlying adapter, which is Net::HTTP by default. AppSignal also instruments some of these adapters, such as [Net::HTTP](/ruby/integrations/net-http). To avoid recording the same request twice, AppSignal records each Faraday request once as a Faraday event and does not instrument the adapter for that request.

## Performance monitoring

Requests made with Faraday appear in the event timeline of your application's performance actions as `request.faraday` events, showing the request method and host. They also appear in the "Slow API requests" performance panel, where you can review the requests your application makes to other services and the impact they have on its performance.

## Disabling the integration

To disable the Faraday integration, set the [`instrument_faraday` config option](/ruby/configuration/options#option-instrument_faraday) to `false`.
