Metrics and Key Performance Indicators

Cisco Cloud Observability displays the following metrics and key performance indicators (KPIs) for Azure application gateways. See Metrics for Application Gateway.

Display Name

Metric Name


Description
Application Gateway Total Time (ms)application_gateway.durationThe time from when the Application Gateway receives the first byte to the time when the last response byte is sent to the client.
Backend Connect Time (ms)application_gateway.backend.connect_duration

The time spent establishing a connection with the backend, including network latency and time spent to establish new connections.

The availability of this metric may vary depending on the configuration of your Azure resource.

Backend Response Time (ms)application_gateway.backend.durationThe time between establishing a connection from the application gateway to the backend and receiving the last byte of the response.
Bytes Sentapplication_gateway.processed_bytesThe bytes sent by the Application Gateway to the clients.
Client RTT (ms)application_gateway.client.round_trip.durationThe average round trip time between clients and Application Gateway.
Client TLS Protocolapplication_gateway.tls.connectionsThe count of TLS and non-TLS requests.
Current Compute Units (vCPUs)application_gateway.cpu.consumed_unitsThe count of processor capacity consumed.
Current Connectionsapplication_gateway.active_connectionsThe total number of active concurrent connections.
HTTP 5XX Countapplication_gateway.http.5xx.requestsThe number of requests served with 5xx server error codes.
Healthy Host Countapplication_gateway.healthy_hostsThe number of backends that are determined healthy by the health probe.
New Connectionsapplication_gateway.new_connectionsThe average number of new TCP connections per second.
Response Statusapplication_gateway.http.response_codesThe HTTP response status returned by the Application Gateway.
Throughput (Bytes/Sec)application_gateway.throughputThe number of bytes per second the Application Gateway has served.
Unhealthy Host Countapplication_gateway.unhealthy_hostsThe number of backends that are determined unhealthy by the health probe.
