    FAQs

    Why does a configured data source variable not take effect or take effect only on some charts? A data source variable does not apply directly to all charts on the dashboard. It applies only to those charts that use it on the chart editing page.

    Examples

    Analyzing the performance metrics of different application APIs on the dashboard (filter in the drop-down list)

    Requirement

    Log topic A stores NGINX access logs of an application, and you are to use the dashboard to view the throughput, number of error requests, and response time of the entire application and a specified API. The following is the sample log information:
    body_bytes_sent:1344
    client_ip:127.0.0.1
    host:www.example.com
    http_method:POST
    http_referer:www.example.com
    http_user_agent:Mozilla/5.0
    proxy_upstream_name:proxy_upstream_name_4
    remote_user:example
    req_id:5EC4EE87A478DA3436A79550
    request_length:13506
    request_time:1
    http_status:201
    time:27/Oct/2021:03:25:24
    upstream_addr:219.147.70.216
    upstream_response_length:406
    upstream_response_time:18
    upstream_status:200
    interface:proxy/upstream/example/1

    Solution

    1. Create a dashboard.
    2. Create three charts (sequence diagrams) based on the application performance metrics. The corresponding query statements are as follows:
    Throughput
    * | select histogram( cast(__TIMESTAMP__ as timestamp),interval 1 minute) as analytic_time, count(*) as pv group by analytic_time order by analytic_time limit 1000
    Number of error requests
    http_status:>=400 | select histogram( cast(TIMESTAMP as timestamp),interval 1 minute) as analytic_time, count(*) as pv_lost group by analytic_time order by analytic_time limit 1000
    Average response time
    * | select histogram( cast(TIMESTAMP as timestamp),interval 1 minute) as analytic_time, avg(request_time) as response_time group by analytic_time order by analytic_time limit 1000
    3. Add a filter in the drop-down list.
    Type: Filter in the drop-down list
    Display Name: API name
    Log Topic: Log topic A
    Select field: interface
    4. Go back to the dashboard details page, and you can see this variable on the top of the page.
    If API Name is not specified, data is not filtered, and the charts on the dashboard display all data, that is, the overall performance metrics of the application.
    If API Name is specified, all charts on the dashboard use the specified API as the filter condition to filter data and display the performance metrics of the API.

    Viewing the production and test environment performance metrics on the dashboard separately (data source variable)

    Requirement

    An application has a production environment and a test environment, and logs are collected to Log topic A (production environment) and Log topic B (test environment). Therefore, during application development, testing, and Ops, you need to pay attention to the performance metrics of the two environments.

    Solution

    1. Create a dashboard.
    2. Add variables.
    Variable Type: Data Source
    Variable Name: env
    Display Name: Application Environment
    Data Source Scope: All log topics
    Default Log Topic: Log topic A (production environment)
    3. Add charts. In the Log Topic drop-down list, select Use Data Source Variable and select the ${env} variable created in the previous step. Then, charts will use the value of the variable as the data source, that is, Log topic A (production environment).
    4. Repeat Step 3 to add other charts.
    5. Go back to the dashboard details page, click the data source variable Application Environment at the top of the page, and switch the log topic in the drop-down list of the variable. Then, the charts that use the variable will switch the log topic accordingly.
