Key Metrics

Tetrate Service Bridge collects a large number of metrics. This page is generated from dashboards ran internally at Tetrate and will be updated periodically based on best practices learned from operational experiences in Tetrate and from user deployments. Each heading represents a different dashboard, and each sub-heading is a panel on this dashboard. For this reason, you may see metrics appear multiple times.

Global Configuration Distribution

These metrics indicate the overall health of Tetrate Service Bridge and should be considered the starting point for any investigation into issues with Tetrate Service Bridge.

Connected Clusters

This details all clusters connected to and receiving configuration from the management plane.

If this number drops below 1 or a given cluster does not appear in this table it means that the cluster is disconnected. This may happen for a brief period of time during upgrades/re-deploys.

Metric Name	Labels	PromQL Expression
xcp_central_current_edge_connections	N/A	xcp_central_current_edge_connections

TSB Error Rate (Humans)

Rate of failed requests to the TSB apiserver from the UI and CLI.

Metric Name	Labels	PromQL Expression
grpc_server_handled_total	component grpc_code grpc_method grpc_type	sum(rate(grpc_server_handled_total{component="tsb", grpc_code!="OK", grpc_type="unary", grpc_method!="SendAuditLog"}[1m])) by (grpc_code) OR on() vector(0)

Istio-Envoy Sync Time (99th Percentile)

Once XCP has synced with the management plane it creates resources for Istio to configure Envoy. Istio usually distributes these within a second.

If this number starts to exceed 10 seconds then you may need to scale out istiod. In small clusters, it is possible this number is too small to be handled by the histogram buckets so may be nil.

Metric Name	Labels	PromQL Expression
pilot_proxy_convergence_time_bucket	N/A	histogram_quantile(0.99, sum(rate(pilot_proxy_convergence_time_bucket[1m])) by (le, cluster_name))

XCP central -> edge Sync Time (99th Percentile)

MPC component translates TSB configuration into XCP objects. XCP central then sends these objects to every Edge connected to it.

This is the time taken for XCP central to send the configs to edges in ms.

Metric Name	Labels	PromQL Expression
xcp_central_config_propagation_time_ms_bucket	N/A	histogram_quantile(0.99, sum(rate(xcp_central_config_propagation_time_ms_bucket[1m])) by (le, edge))

Istiod Errors

Rate of istiod errors broken down by cluster. This graph helps identify clusters that may be experiencing problems. Typically, there should be no errors. Any non-transient errors should be investigated.

Sometimes this graph will show "No data" or these metrics won't exist. This is because istiod only emits these metrics if the errors occur.

Istio Operational Status

Operational metrics for istiod health.

Connected Envoys

Count of Envoys connected to istiod. This should represent the total number of endpoints in the selected cluster.

If this number significantly decreases for longer than 5 minutes without an obvious reason (e.g. a scale-down event) then you should investigate. This may indicate that Envoys have been disconnected from istiod and are unable to reconnect.

Median Proxy Convergence Time

The median (50th percentile) delay between istiod receiving configuration changes and the proxy receiving all required configuration in the selected cluster. This number indicates how stale the proxy configuration is. As this number increases, it may start to impact application traffic.

This number is typically in the hundreds of milliseconds. In small clusters, this number may be zero.

If this number creeps up to 30s for an extended period, istiod likely needs to be scaled out (or up).

Metric Name	Labels	PromQL Expression
pilot_proxy_convergence_time_bucket	cluster_name	histogram_quantile(0.5, sum(rate(pilot_proxy_convergence_time_bucket{cluster_name="$cluster"}[1m])) by (le))

Istiod Push Rate

The rate of istiod pushes to Envoy grouped by discovery service. Istiod pushes clusters (CDS), endpoints (EDS), listeners (LDS) or routes (RDS) any time it receives a configuration change.

Changes are triggered by a user interacting with TSB or a change in infrastructure such as a new endpoint (service instance/pod) creation.

In small relatively static clusters these values can be zero most of the time.

Metric Name	Labels	PromQL Expression
pilot_xds_pushes	cluster_name type	sum(irate(pilot_xds_pushes{cluster_name="$cluster", type=~"cds|eds|rds|lds"}[1m])) by (type)

Istiod Error Rate

The different error rates for Istio during general operations. Including the generation and distribution of Envoy configuration.

pilot_xds_write_timeout Rate of connection timeouts between Envoy and istiod. This number indicates that an Envoy has taken too long to acknowledge a configuration change from Istio. An increase in these errors typically indicates network issues, envoy resource limits or istiod resource limits (usually cpu)

pilot_total_xds_internal_errors Rate of errors thrown inside istiod whilst generating Envoy configuration. Check the istiod logs for more details if you see internal errors.

pilot_total_xds_rejects Rate of rejected configuration from Envoy. Istio should never produce any invalid Envoy configuration so any errors here warrants investigation, starting with the istiod logs.

pilot_xds_expired_nonce Rate of expired nonces from Envoys. This number indicates that an Envoy has responded to the wrong request sent from Istio. An increase in these errors typically indicates network issues (saturation or partition), Envoy resource limits or istiod resource limits (usually cpu).

pilot_xds_push_context_errors Rate of errors setting a connection with an Envoy instance. An increase in these errors typically indicates network issues (saturation or partition), Envoy resource limits or istiod resource limits (usually cpu). Check istiod logs for further details.

pilot_xds_pushes Rate of transport errors sending configuration to Envoy. An increase in these errors typically indicates network issues (saturation or partition), Envoy resource limits or istiod resource limits (usually cpu).

Proxy Convergence Time

The delay between an istiod receiving configuration changes and a proxy receiving all required configuration in the cluster. Broken down by percentiles.

This number indicates how stale the proxy configuration is. As this number increases it may start to affect application traffic.

This number is typically in the hundreds of milliseconds. If this number creeps up to 30s for an extended period of time, it is likely that istiod needs to be scaled out (or up) as it is likely pinned up against its CPU limits.

Configuration Validation

Success and failure rate of istio configuration validation requests. This is triggered when TSB configuration is created or updated.

Any failures here should be investigated in the istiod and edge logs.

If there are TSB configuration changes being made that affect the selected cluster and the success number is zero then there is an issue with configuration propagation. Check the XCP edge logs to debug further.

mpc_xcp_conversion_count	N/A	sum(rate(mpc_xcp_conversion_count[1m])) by (resource)

MPC to XCP pushed configs

The number of resources that are pushed to XCP.

This metric shows the number of objects that are created, updated, and deleted as part of a configuration push from MPC to XCP. It also shows how many fetch calls to the k8s api server are done.

This metric can be used together with the TSB tp MPC sent configs and XCP push operations and push duration to get an understanding of how the amount of resources being pushed to XCP affects the time it takes for the entire configuration push operation to complete.

XCP Resource conversion error rate

Configuration updates received from TSB are processed by MPC and translated into XCP resources. This metric shows the conversion error rate of TSB resources to XCP resources. It should always be zero. If there are errors reported in this graph, there are incompatibilities between the XCP resources and the TSB ones. This may be the result of mismatching version compatibility between TSB and XCP.

PDP Success Rate

Successful request rate of PDP grouped by method. NGAC is a graph-based authorization framework that consists of three main components: Policy Information Point (PIP): Maintains the NGAC graph. It creates the nodes and edges in the graph that represents the state of the system. The other components of NGAC use this graph to perform access decisions. Policy Decision Point (PDP): Performs access decisions based on the NGAC graph's policies. The PDP is used to perform binary Allow/Deny access decisions (Check) and determine the objects a user has access to (List). These access decisions are enforced at the Policy Enforcement Point (PEP). Policy Enforcement Point (PEP): Enforces access control by calling the PDP to get an access decision. Successful requests to the PDP show the number of requests that the PEP has successfully made to the PDP. A successful request does not represent "access granted" decisions; they represent the access decision requests for which a verdict was obtained. A drop in this metric may show that operations against the graph are failing. This may mean that the graph is unavailable for reads and this is usually a consequence of failures in the PIP. Failures in the PIP for write operations will result in the graph not being properly updated to the latest status, resulting in access decisions based on stale models.

PIP operations are executed against the NGAC graph to represent and maintain the objects in the system and the relationships between them.

A drop in this metric may show that operations against the graph are failing. This may mean that the graph is unavailable for reads, or that it is failing to persist data. Read failures may result in failed access decisions (in the PDP) and user interaction with the system may be rejected as well. Failures in write operations will result in the graph not being properly updated to the latest status and that could result in access decisions based on stale models.

Errors in config push REQUESTS to the edges in last 5 minutes

Central enqueues the config push request to the debouncer(an internal component of central) when:

• It receives event about config resources from k8s apiserver , or
• Any edge connects first time, or
• It is handling a periodic resync request from any of the edges.

In either case, if central meets an error in the event handling before en-queuing the config push request to the debouncer, this metric gets incremented. So this panel is inversely related to "config push(to the edges) requests enqueued to debouncer in last 5 min".

config push(to the edges) requests enqueued to debouncer in last 5 min

Number of times central enqueued config push(to the connected edges) request to the debouncer in last 5 min. Along with count of the request, reason for the config push request are also shown.

Note: This metric does not indicate the count of actual config push by central. Because of debouncing, actual config push will generally be lesser than this metric. In other words, this metric shows input events for config push. Output (config push on grpc channels to edges) will be lesser because of debouncer

Reasons could be:

1. ADD/DELETE/UPDATE : These are the events received by the central from the k8s apiserver. Example: ADD/IngressGateway means count of config push requests enqueued because of new IngressGateway CRs creation at k8s apiserver.
2. EDGE_RESYNC: This shows the count of config push requests when periodic config resync request from edge triggers config push. This will be non-zero only in rare cases when, for whatever reason, edge reported a stale set of configs and central triggers config push to refresh the configs
3. EDGE_FIRST_CONNECTION: When any edge connects to central, central syncs config to the edge. In steady state, its count must be 0. If its count is non-zero, that indicates grpc stream between central and edge is in error and getting reconnected.
4. CENTRAL_RESYNC: central enqueues a config push request every 5 minute to reconcile configs at edges. Note that this will result into actual config push only to those edges which are not actively sending their config version periodically. Since 1.4, edges request config resync and therefore central will actually push configs over grpc as a result of these request only if edge is < 1.4.

Metric Name	Labels	PromQL Expression
xcp_central_config_update_push_count	N/A	increase(xcp_central_config_update_push_count[5m])

Number of connections(cluster state pushing and config pushing)

Central has two type of grpc connections:

1. edge_config_distribution: One grpc connection with each edge for pushing user configs like workspace, trafficgroup etc
2. cluster_state: One grpc connection with each edge for pushing learned cluster state(service discovery) from all other peer edges. In addition, one more grpc connection with the mpc for pushing all the learned cluster states to the tsb server.

count of edge_config_distribution will be equal to the number of edges connected to the central count of cluster_state connections will be one more that count of edge_config_distribution connections because of additional mpc connection.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the cluster is not onboarded(TSB cluster object missing), but the edge is up and connected to central, in that scenario connection counts will include such edges
