Viewing Metrics
This topic helps you to view and monitor the health, and performance of metrics, configure anomaly range and Metric-rule based targets, and visualize the metric behavior through dashboards.
This helps users to debug the issues by determining the behavior of applications through deviations of graphs for early detection to prevent failure.
You can view metrics for the following entities from dashboards:
Pods
Nodes
Containers
Process and processes
Host
Traces
Cloud Applications
Note
Note: You can view the metrics of an entity for any selected time intervals as per your requirement. For more information, see Viewing metrics for a selected timeframe.
Metric widget in a Dashboard
You can view the metric widget through the dashboard by navigating to Application Maps individually or can directly drill down the performance snapshot from Apps Map.
The widget represents the type of metrics with the flow of the graph. The high and low peaks describe the health of metrics at each interval of time.
Hovering on the graph will display a quick snapshot of metric performance data in terms of network flow, request count, response and error if any for each interval time.
The performance helps users to visualize the previous and current behavior of metrics.
The widget helps users to analyze the entity's resource usage and performance at time intervals.
You can also set the anomaly range for a metric graph so that Container Observability detects and triggers an Alert based on the deviation.
Container Observability triggers alerts for the anomalies and users can view the history of the Metric behavior of an affected entity to monitor the anomaly occurrence time and updated time, refer Metric-based alert.
You can also configure a Metric-Rule-based target for any entity in the cluster to receive Alerts. To define a new Metric-Alert, see Alert Triggering.
Users can configure SLO targets for a metric. For more information, see SLO/SLI in Container Observability.
