CloudFlow Metrics Reference

The following metrics are available from the CloudFlow Platform in OpenMetrics format for export to third part systems such as Datadog and Grafana Cloud, etc. See our guide for examples on how to set this up.

MetricDefinition
section_container_cpu_usage_seconds_totalFrom container_cpu_usage_seconds_total. This is the actual CPU usage of a pod, in vCPU (Kubernetes "cores"), averaged over the last 1 minute. It is a sum of all replicas of a pod in a given popname (see "popname" in the labels below).
section_container_memory_usage_bytesFrom container_memory_usage_bytes. This is the actual memory usage, in GiB, averaged over the last 1 minute.
section_http_bytes_total_sum_rate (section_http_bytes_total:sum_rate)This is an HTTP byte transmission rate, request bytes per second, calculated over a 2 minute span. It is called a "sum_rate" because it is doing its calculation over all the replicas of a given container that are running for that environment. In other words, it is a sum of all bytes in all replicas.
section_http_request_count_total_sum_rate (section_http_request_count_total:sum_rate)This is an HTTP request count rate, requests per second, calculated over a 5 minute span. It is called a "sum_rate" because it is doing its calculation over all the replicas of a given container that are running for that environment. In other words, it is a sum of all requests in all replicas.
section_kube_pod_container_resource_requestsComes from kube_pod_container_resource_requests, this gives either memory or cpu requests, depending upon the value of the labels "resource" or "unit", below.
section_kube_pod_status_phaseFrom kube_pod_status_phase
section_kube_pod_status_readyFrom kube_pod_status_ready
