Contribution per service graph

mathias_indermu — Wed, 10 Jul 2019 01:37:19 GMT

Hi, is there an option to have a contribution per service graph? For example in the Multidimensional analysis views? I really like the insights you get with service flow - but sometimes it would be nice to see how the contribution per service changes over time.

There is no such option right know. If uri is the same between propagated services it would be best I think using Diagnostic tools => Top Web Requests. There you will be able filter the same uri across multiple services. But this will not work in all situations and it's rather workaround than solutions.

This is achievable by using the Service metrics definitions. (Currently available in EAP only). There you have the options to measure metrics such as time spent in calls to other services. You can also define the dimension for this metric which sounds exactly what you need.

Currently available metrics are:
Service metrics:

Response time
Request count
Successful request count
Failed request count
Error count
Failure rate
HTTP 4xx count
HTTP 5xx count
CPU time
IO time
Wait time
Lock time
Number of calls to databases
Time spent in database calls
Number of calls to other services
Time spent in calls to other services

Client-side metrics

Response time measured by caller
Successful request count as seen by caller
Failed request count as seen by caller
Failure rate client
Number request attributes
