Protocol Integration¶
Network TCP datasources provide metrics such as round trip time (RTT), TCP retransmissions, number of packets, etc. for TCP requests and responses. Along with metrics, network TCP datasources also provide attributes such as protocol type, server port, etc. for TCP interactions.
Note: Protocol metrics are captured by collectors running with EPOCH_ANALYSIS_DEPTH=layer7 set in their configuration.
Attributes¶
Below attributes can be used in filters and group by operations in analytics within alerts, dashboards, etc.
| API Usage Name | Description | Value / Example |
|---|---|---|
| network.protocol | Application layer protocol using TCP | DNS, http, MYSQL, PGSQL, MEMCACHED, THRIFT, Unknown Protocol(s) |
| network.encrypted | Encrypted networks | kibibyte/s |
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
