Dashboard overview
The MENU > OVERVIEW page on the Service Mesh Manager web interface shows information about your the traffic in your mesh and the health of your services and workloads.
If your application hasn’t received any traffic yet, there will be no metrics in the system so you won’t see any visualization yet. To send some traffic to your services as a test, see Generate test load.
The page shows the following information and controls:
Metrics
- Requests per second
- Average latency (95th percentile)
- Error rate (for 5XX errors). Client-side errors (with 4XX status code) are not included.
- Clusters (number of clusters in the mesh)
- Services (number of services in the mesh / total number of services)
- Workloads (number of workloads in the mesh / total number of workloads)
- Pods (number of pods in the mesh / total number of pods)
- Validation issues
Dashboards
The OVERVIEW page shows charts about the health of the services and workloads, as well as the aggregated status of your service level objectives (SLOs). Click on the chart to get more information, for example, about the SLO burn rates that display warnings.
The OVERVIEW page also shows the following live Grafana dashboards:
- Requests per second
- Average latency (95th percentile)
- Error rate (for 5XX errors). Client-side errors (with 4XX status code) are not included.
