/!\ The spec is outdated and replaced with https://magnetodb-specs.readthedocs.org/en/latest/specs/kilo/approved/request-metrics.html
Real time request metrics including latency/count/etc.
 
 
 
=== Specification status ===
 
Draft
 
 
 
=== Problem Description ===
 
To proactively address MagnetoDB operational issues, admin user needs real time visibility to request metrics data on each API node. Including:
 
* number of requests
 
* number of failures
 
* number of errors
 
* average latency
 
* median latency
 
* minimum latency
 
* maximum latency
 
* requests per second
 
* distribution of request latency for each type of REST API call, such as "50%","66%","75%","80%","90%","95%","98%","99%","100%"
 
 
 
=== Proposed Change ===
 
 
 
Request metrics can be reported to StatsD per API call. Request metrics are either counters or timing data (in units of milliseconds).
 
 
 
StatsD can be utilized to expand timing data to min, max, avg, count, and 90th percentile per timing metric.
 
 
 
Middleware seems a natural place to collect the request metrics data.
 
 
 
We propose to introduce a new middleware to all API node services, including api/streaming/task executor. Each category of REST APIs will have a corresponding request metrics.
 
 
 
==== Alternatives ====
 
Scales (bundled with Cassandra Python Driver) can be used instead of StatsD.
 
 
 
==== Security Impact ====
 
 
 
* Does this change touch sensitive data such as tokens, keys, or user data?
 
* Does this change alter the API in a way that may impact security, such as  a new way to access sensitive information or a new way to login?
 
* Does this change involve cryptography or hashing?
 
* Does this change require the use of sudo or any elevated privileges?
 
* Does this change involve using or parsing user-provided data? This could  be directly at the API level or indirectly such as changes to a cache layer.
 
* Can this change enable a resource exhaustion attack, such as allowing a  single API interaction to consume significant server resources? Some examples  of this include launching subprocesses for each connection, or entity  expansion attacks in XML.
 
 
 
==== Notifications Impact ====
 
 
 
==== Other End User Impact ====
 
 
 
==== Performance Impact ====
 
 
 
Performance impact should be minimal since if statsd is used. The metrics sent to statsd is through UDP.
 
 
 
==== Other Deployer Impact ====
 
 
 
A dependency in statsd will be introduced.
 
 
 
==== Developer Impact ====
