System Metrics API

The system metrics service provides the ability to request and receive metrics data.

Request

Request to receive metrics data.

Request

Hono Command: command//<name>:<namespace>/req//request

Ditto Message:

NameValueDescription
topic<name>/<namespace>/things/live/messages/requestInformation about the affected Thing and the type of operation
path/features/Metrics/inbox/messages/requestA path to the Metrics Feature, it’s message channel, and request command
HeadersAdditional headers
response-requiredtrue/falseIf response is required
content-typeapplication/jsonThe content type
correlation-idcontainer UUIDUsed for correlating protocol messages, the same correlation-id as the sent back response message
Value
frequencyTime interval of how often the metrics data will be published as duration string (e.g. 5s)
filterFilter defines the type of metric data to be reported
idAn array of identifiers whose metric data to be reported, supported are: cpu.utilization, memory.utilization, memory.total, memory.used, io.readBytes, io.writeBytes, net.readBytes, net.writeBytes, pids
originatorMetrics data originator

Example : Request metrics data with specified filter and frequency.

Topic: command//edge:device/req//request

	}
}
Response

Hono Command : command//<name>:<namespace>/res//request

Ditto Message:

NameValueDescription
topic<name>/<namespace>/things/live/messages/requestInformation about the affected Thing and the type of operation
path/features/Metrics/outbox/messages/requestA path to the Metrics Feature, it’s message channel, and request command
HeadersAdditional headers
content-typeapplication/jsonThe content type
correlation-id<UUID>The same correlation id as the request message
StatusStatus of the operation request the metrics data

Example : Successful response of a request metrics message.

Data

Metrics data reported by the device.
