The Conduit proxy exposes metrics that describe the traffic flowing through the
proxy. The following metrics are available at `/metrics` on the proxy's metrics
port (default: `:4191`) in the [Prometheus format][prom-format]:
### `request_total`
A counter of the number of requests the proxy has received. This is incremented
when the request stream begins.
### `response_total`
A counter of the number of responses the proxy has received. This is
incremented when the response stream ends.
### `response_latency_ms`
A histogram of the total latency of a response. This is measured from when the
request headers are received to when the response stream has completed.
## Labels
Each of these metrics has the following labels:
* `authority`: The value of the `:authority` (HTTP/2) or `Host` (HTTP/1.1)
header of the request.
* `direction`: `inbound` if the request originated from outside of the pod,
`outbound` if the request originated from inside of the pod.
### Response Labels
The following labels are only applicable on `response_*` metrics.
* `classification`: `success` if the response was successful, or `failure` if
a server error occurred. This classification is based on
the gRPC status code if one is present, and on the HTTP
status code otherwise. Only applicable to response metrics.
* `grpc_status_code`: The value of the `grpc-status` trailer. Only applicable
for gRPC responses.
* `status_code`: The HTTP status code of the response.
### Outbound labels
The following labels are only applicable if `direction=outbound`.
* `dst_deployment`: The deployment to which this request is being sent.
* `dst_k8s_job`: The job to which this request is being sent.
* `dst_replica_set`: The replica set to which this request is being sent.
* `dst_daemon_set`: The daemon set to which this request is being sent.
* `dst_replication_controller`: The replication controller to which this request
is being sent.
* `dst_namespace`: The namespace to which this request is being sent.
* `dst_service`: The service to which this request is being sent.
* `dst_pod_template_hash`: The [pod-template-hash][pod-template-hash] of the pod
to which this request is being sent. This label
selector roughly approximates a pod's `ReplicaSet` or
`ReplicationController`.
### Prometheus Collector labels
The following labels are added by the Prometheus collector.
* `instance`: ip:port of the pod.
* `job`: The Prometheus job responsible for the collection, typically
`conduit-proxy`.
#### Kubernetes labels added at collection time
Kubernetes namespace, pod name, and all labels are mapped to corresponding
Prometheus labels.
* `namespace`: Kubernetes namespace that the pod belongs to.
* `pod`: Kubernetes pod name.
* `pod_template_hash`: Corresponds to the [pod-template-hash][pod-template-hash]
Kubernetes label. This value changes during redeploys and
rolling restarts. This label selector roughly
approximates a pod's `ReplicaSet` or
`ReplicationController`.
#### Conduit labels added at collection time
Kubernetes labels prefixed with `conduit.io/` are added to your application at
`conduit inject` time. More specifically, Kubernetes labels prefixed with
`conduit.io/proxy-*` will correspond to these Prometheus labels:
* `daemon_set`: The daemon set that the pod belongs to (if applicable).
* `deployment`: The deployment that the pod belongs to (if applicable).
* `k8s_job`: The job that the pod belongs to (if applicable).
* `replica_set`: The replica set that the pod belongs to (if applicable).
* `replication_controller`: The replication controller that the pod belongs to
(if applicable).
### Example
Here's a concrete example, given the following pod snippet:
```yaml
name: vote-bot-5b7f5657f6-xbjjw
namespace: emojivoto
labels:
app: vote-bot
conduit.io/control-plane-ns: conduit
conduit.io/proxy-deployment: vote-bot
pod-template-hash: "3957278789"
test: vote-bot-test
```
The resulting Prometheus labels will look like this:
```
request_total{
pod="vote-bot-5b7f5657f6-xbjjw",
namespace="emojivoto",
app="vote-bot",
conduit_io_control_plane_ns="conduit",
deployment="vote-bot",
pod_template_hash="3957278789",
test="vote-bot-test",
instance="10.1.3.93:4191",
job="conduit-proxy"
}
```
