`metrics-by-endpoint` - Report metrics by URL

Overview

By default, Artillery calculates and prints response time metrics (p50, p95, p99, min and max) measured across all endpoints (or URLs). artillery-plugin-metrics-by-endpoint can be used to print response time metrics per URL.

This plugin is only compatible with the http engine.

Usage

Enable the plugin

config:
  plugins:
    metrics-by-endpoint: {}

Plugin Configuration

Name	Valid Options	Description
`useOnlyRequestNames`	`false` (default) `true`	If `true`, will use only the `name` field of a request as the metric name. If `false`, the `name` will be prepended to the standard metric name if it exists. It's recommended you use this to group requests with dynamic URLs.
`stripQueryString` Added inv2.0.0-34	`false` (default) `true`	If `true`, query-strings will be stripped from the metric name.
`ignoreUnnamedRequests` Added inv2.0.0-34	`false` (default) `true`	If `true`, any requests without a `name` field will not have metrics reported.
`metricsNamespace` Added inv2.0.0-32	any string (defaults to `plugins.metrics-by-endpoint`)	Custom prefix to use for metrics published by this plugin.

`useOnlyRequestNames` example

Set useOnlyRequestNames to report metrics based on the name of the request, rather than the URL.

This can be useful when your test sends requests to the same endpoint with different query string parameters.

If the name property is not set on a request, the plugin will use the URL.

In the following example, metrics for the first 3 requests to / which share the same name (but use different query strings) will be reported together.

config:
  target: https://www.artillery.io
  phases:
    - duration: 60
      arrivalRate: 1
  plugins:
    metrics-by-endpoint:
      # Group metrics by request name rather than URL:
      useOnlyRequestNames: true
scenarios:
  - flow:
      - get:
          url: "/docs/?one"
          name: GET /docs
      - get:
          url: "/docs/?two"
          name: GET /docs
      - get:
          url: "/docs/?three"
          name: GET /docs

Metrics reported by the plugin

In addition to the default metrics reported by Artillery and your chosen engine(s), this plugin reports the following additional metrics:

Metric	Type	Description
`<prefix>.<req_name>.codes.<status_code>`	Counter (count)	Number of specific `status_code` in responses for each specific request (`req_name`).
`<prefix>.<req_name>.errors.<error_code>`	Counter (count)	Error code such as `ETIMEDOUT` or `ECONNRESET`. This records the URL of the active request at the time the error happened, but errors such as `ECONNRESET` may be due to server overload as a whole, rather than an issue with the specific backend endpoint.
`<prefix>.response_time.<req_name>.<aggregation>`	Histogram (milliseconds)	Response time (measured as time to first byte) aggregation for requests during this period, for each specific request (`req_name`).
`<prefix>.server-timing.<req_name>.<aggregation>`	Histogram (milliseconds)	If the server has the `server-timing` response header, Artillery will report this additional measurement for each specific request (`req_name`).

The default prefix for metrics reported by this plugin is plugins.metrics-by-endpoint. You can change this by setting the metricsNamespace option.

The default req_name is the URL of the request. You can configure this through the configuration options listed above.
