Traffic flow visualization between the Microservices

In the Apps map, when hovering on a Pod or a Container, the system will show edges with arrows that indicate the incoming and outgoing connections from the selected element to other elements.

These edges have text that displays two types of traffic data:

  • L4 Level metrics: represents the volume of network flow in bytes and packets.

  • L7 Level metrics: represent the application request counts, latencies, and errors.

To view traffic flow details between the dependent Microservices in Apps Map, follow the steps:

  1. Log in to the Container Observability application.

  2. On the sidebar menu, click Applications and select Apps Map.

  3. Click on the edge between the services and hover on the KB port to know the traffic flow in terms of L4 and L7 layer metrics data between the services.

  4. Click the KB ports linked between the services. The Configuration and Performance Snapshot is displayed.

Note

Note: To view the Traffic flow metrics, see Viewing Metrics.
