Layer7 API Management

Hi,

I was trying to find if there is a method to get the service usage per second from the Gateway. The data in ssg database has a minimum interval of 5 seconds and it calculates average over 5 seconds to display on dashboard in policy manager. Even this data is there on the database only for an hour and it then gets added up and creates a new row for hourly statistics.

Hey Anand. You are correct, this will be a little difficult to collect b/c of the info you stated above. I've solved this problem leveraging tools like Splunk or ELK. The idea is to create a log entry per transaction that represents data you want analyzed over a period of time. Each entry represents a 'Transaction' and has a timestamp, the tool can calculate TPS for you based on a specific timeframe. Pretty cool stuff once you get into it and can be very powerful for analytics.

Hi,

I got this cluster wide property metrics.fineInterval which is by default set as 5000 milliseconds, which sets the service metrics fine resolution value. Changing it to 1000 milliseconds can provide /sec data, but I assume this would impact gateway performance.
