Metric
The metric template is designed to let you describe runtime metric to dispatch to
monitoring backends.
Example config:
apiVersion: "config.istio.io/v1alpha2"
kind: instance
metadata:
name: requestsize
namespace: istio-system
spec:
compiledTemplate: metric
params:
value: request.size | 0
dimensions:
source_version: source.labels["version"] | "unknown"
destination_service: destination.service.host | "unknown"
destination_version: destination.labels["version"] | "unknown"
response_code: response.code | 200
monitored_resource_type: '"UNSPECIFIED"'
Template
The metric template represents a single piece of data to report.
When writing the configuration, the value for the fields associated with this template can either be a literal or an expression. Please note that if the datatype of a field is not istio.policy.v1beta1.Value, then the expression’s inferred type must match the datatype of the field.
| Field | Type | Description | Required |
|---|---|---|---|
value | Value | The value being reported. | No |
dimensions | map<string, Value> | The unique identity of the particular metric to report. | No |
monitoredResourceType | string | Optional. An expression to compute the type of the monitored resource this metric is being reported on. If the metric backend supports monitored resources, these fields are used to populate that resource. Otherwise these fields will be ignored by the adapter. | No |
monitoredResourceDimensions | map<string, Value> | Optional. A set of expressions that will form the dimensions of the monitored resource this metric is being reported on. If the metric backend supports monitored resources, these fields are used to populate that resource. Otherwise these fields will be ignored by the adapter. | No |
