Metrics

Salus’ centralized metrics view highlights critical system and application issues using Request, Error and Duration (RED) metrics. These metrics surface when something requires immediate attention, such as high error rates, failing services and more. By centralizing these metrics in one place, you can quickly spot and respond to problems without digging through multiple tools or logs. While support for more detailed metrics is coming soon, this focused view helps ensure you’re aware of the most urgent risks affecting your applications in production.

Accessing your application metrics

There are two ways to reach your application’s metrics:

1. Navigate to a project’s deployment page
2. Click on the observability tab, it should redirect you to the specific project’s metrics

OR

1. Click on the metrics icon on the left-hand navigation panel, select from the list of existing projects in your workspace.

• Number of Requests per second: allows for immediate recognition of traffic spikes, aiding in scaling decisions, infrastructure planning, and ensuring optimal user experiences during peak times
• Number of Failed Requests per second: identification of increases in failed requests can trigger immediate investigations, ensuring swift issue resolution and minimizing disruptions to end users
• Duration of Requests in the 99th, 95th, and 75th Percentile: you can understand not just the average, but also the outliers in system performance. This allows for targeted optimizations, ensuring a consistently high-quality experience for the vast majority of your users
