Protocol Integration

Thrift datasources provide metrics such as latency, count, response size, etc. for Thrift requests and responses. Along with metrics, Thrift datasources also provide attributes such as Thrift method name, Thrift response type, etc. for Thrift interactions.

Note: Protocol metrics are captured by collectors running with EPOCH_ANALYSIS_DEPTH=layer7 set in their configuration.

Attributes for Filter and Group By Operations

Below attributes can be used in filters and group by operations in analytics within alerts, dashboards, etc. Note: Attributes with enumerated values are highlighted

API Usage Name UI Display Name Description Value / Example
thrift.method.type Thrift Request Type Normal call or oneway. oneway modifier indicates that the client only makes a request and does not wait for any response at all T_CALL, T_ONEWAY
thrift.client_version Thrift Client Version Thrift version number for client
thrift.method Thrift Method Name The name of method invoked as part of Thrift service. See example
thrift.server_version Thrift Server Version Thrift version number for server
thrift.response.status thrift.response Type Response type could be either reply or exception T_REPLY, T_EXCEPTION

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
