[[service-overview]]
|
|
=== Service overview
|
|
|
|
Selecting a <<services,*service*>> brings you to the *Service overview*.
|
|
The *Service overview* contains a wide variety of charts and tables that provide
|
|
high-level visibility into how a service is performing across your infrastructure:
|
|
|
|
* Service details like service version, runtime version, framework, and agent name and version
|
|
* Container and orchestration information
|
|
* Cloud provider, machine type, and availability zone
|
|
* Latency, throughput, and errors over time
|
|
* Service dependencies
|
|
|

[[service-time-comparison]]
|
|
=== Time series comparison
|
|
|
|
Comparing how a service performs relative to a previous time frame can offer additional insight into
|
|
the health of your services. For example, has latency been slowly increasing over time, or did the service
|
|
experience a sudden spike--enabling a time series comparison can provide the answer.

|
Select the *Comparison* box to enable or disable time series comparison.
|
|
The time comparison options are based on the selected time filter range:

[[service-latency]]
|
|
=== Latency
|
|
|
|
Response times for the service. You can filter the *Latency* chart to display the average,
|
|
95th, or 99th percentile latency times for the service.

[[service-throughput-transactions]]
|
|
=== Throughput and transactions
|
|
|
|
The *Throughput* chart visualizes the average number of transactions per minute for the selected service.
|
|
|
|
The *Transactions* table displays a list of _transaction groups_ for the
|
|
selected service and includes the latency, traffic, error rate, and the impact for each transaction.
|
|
Transactions that share the same name are grouped, and only one entry is displayed for each group.
|
|
|
|
By default, transaction groups are sorted by _Impact_ to show the most used and slowest endpoints in your
|
|
service. If there is a particular endpoint you are interested in, click *View transactions* to view a
|
|
list of similar transactions on the <<transactions, transactions overview>> page.

[[service-error-rates]]
|
|
=== Failed transaction rate and errors
|
|
|
|
The failed transaction rate represents the percentage of failed transactions from the perspective of the selected service.
|
|
It's useful for visualizing unexpected increases, decreases, or irregular patterns in a service's transactions.

[TIP]
|
|
====
|
|
HTTP **transactions** from the HTTP server perspective do not consider a `4xx` status code (client error) as a failure
|
|
because the failure was caused by the caller, not the HTTP server. Thus, `event.outcome=success` and there will be no increase in failed transaction rate.
|
|
|
|
HTTP **spans** from the client perspective however, are considered failures if the HTTP status code is ≥ 400.
|
|
These spans will set `event.outcome=failure` and increase the failed transaction rate.
|
|
|
|
If there is no HTTP status, both transactions and spans are considered successful unless an error is reported.
|
|
====
|
|
|
|
The *Errors* table provides a high-level view of each error message when it first and last occurred,
|
|
along with the total number of occurrences. This makes it very easy to quickly see which errors affect
|
|
your services and take actions to rectify them. To do so, click *View errors*.

[[service-span-duration]]
|
|
=== Span types average duration and dependencies
|
|
|
|
The *Time spent by span type* chart visualizes each span type's average duration and helps you determine
|
|
which spans could be slowing down transactions. The "app" label displayed under the
|
|
chart indicates that something was happening within the application. This could signal that the
|
|
agent does not have auto-instrumentation for whatever was happening during that time or that the time was spent in the
|
|
application code and not in database or external requests.
|
|
|
|
The *Dependencies* table displays a list of downstream services or external connections relevant
|
|
to the service at the selected time range. The table displays latency, throughput, failed transaction rate, and the impact of
|
|
each dependency. By default, dependencies are sorted by _Impact_ to show the most used and the slowest dependency.
|
|
If there is a particular dependency you are interested in, click *<<dependencies,View dependencies>>* to learn more about it.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: Displaying dependencies for services instrumented with the Real User Monitoring (RUM) agent
|
|
requires an agent version ≥ v5.6.3.

[[service-instances]]
|
|
=== Instances
|
|
|
|
The *Instances* table displays a list of all the available service instances within the selected time range.
|
|
Depending on how the service runs, the instance could be a host or a container. The table displays latency, throughput,
|
|
failed transaction, CPU usage, and memory usage for each instance. By default, instances are sorted by _Throughput_.
