Protocol Integration

HTTP/2 protocol metrics (throughput, latency, errors) are captured out-of-the-box by collectors running with EPOCH_ANALYSIS_DEPTH=layer7 set in their configuration.

The user can either look at pre-canned dashboards for HTTP/2 or use the Analytics Sandbox to plot charts without any additional configuration.

Note: In order to see additional infrastructure metrics the user can follow the steps listed under the Configuration section below (Optional).

Attributes

Below attributes can be used in filters and group by operations in analytics within alerts, dashboards, etc.

API Usage Name UI Display Name Description Value / Example
http2.serverpush ServerPush Boolean field that indicates whether element is requested by client or pushed by server
http2.method Method Value of pseudo header field :method GET, POST, etc
http2.path Path Value of pseudo header field :path /index.html, etc
http2.scheme Scheme Scheme Value of pseudo header field :scheme
http2.authority Authority The :authority pseudo-header field includes the authority portion of the target URI, viz. http2.path nghttp2.org
http2.status Status In HTTP/2, a single :status pseudo-header field carries the HTTP status code field 200, 404, 500, etc
http2.grpcstatus gRPC Status gRPC defined status code
http2.grpcmessage gRPC Message gRPC message that goes with http2.grpcstatus

There are some attributes that are common across the integrations. The description to the relevant attributes for this integration can be found here: shared attributes
