Response time degradation - Tweak/Truncate URL

[ashiD]

Hello Everyone. I am trying to tweak a few alerts on my side. 
I usually get alerts on problems for Response time Degradation or high failure rate. 

For example
/api/v1/ABC/MAC1 - Failed 
/api/v1/ABC/MAC2 - Success 
/api/v1/ABC/MAC3  - Success 
/api/v1/ABC/MAC4  - Success 

This would trigger an alert if MAC1 failed.

Is it possible to tweak the alert to Monitor /api/v1/ABC/  so i get an alert if 100% transactions failed and not just one MAC.

Hi,

You will have to create custom calculated metrics under server-side monitoring tab in settings page. And, in the condition you can provide the same.

Hi,

Are the calls running in the same service? You can then also try merging the requests by designing a request naming rule that takes out the last /MAC* part in the URL. This will merge the requests. Making it a key requests allows you to create your own anomaly detection on the new requests, therefore the possibility to keep track of a seperate baseline.

This ensure you'll get an alert of a failure rate increase of all the requests. If the last part is important you'll need to put the /MAC1-4 in a request attribute so performance per requests is still visible using request filters.
