Synthetic monitoring metrics that show last API failure time and URL

dariniv — Wed, 24 May 2023 09:52:55 GMT

I am trying to set up a dashboard for HTTP requests, but I am not able to get metrics on which time it got failed and the URL to which it is being fired.

The requirement is to run a builtin metrics query and create a dashboard with the below details:

Application Name
URL
LastSuccess@
LastError

Hi!

I think it is not possible to do exactly what you want, at least in a direct way.

I suppose you've checked all "synthetic.http." metrics available related to HTTP Monitors (i.e: Result Status Count [by request, location] splitting by HTTP Monitor Step).

Have you considered the option of getting that info from API v2 for HTTP Monitors?

I am trying to store the values in variable using post-script and then push that value to metrics. Currently I am not able to get the variable values in metrics.

Any suggestions?

Could you please describe how are you trying to push de variables to metrics?

I would use the Ingest Metrics API to push the variables to metrics in a HTTP monitor's post-processing step:
