URL

This function monitors the calls of the current application by external services. It includes URL, Dubbo server, CSE server, CSEProvider cluster, and FunctionGraph monitoring. This type of monitoring item demonstrates the actual external status of the entire service. For example, if the average response time of a URL is long, it means that external users take a long time to query the corresponding data.

This section focuses on URL monitoring.

**Table 1** Parameters of the URL summary
Metric Set	Metric	Description
URL summary	url	URL.
	method	Request HTTP method.
	Calls	Number of times that the URL is called.
	Avg RT (ms)	Average response time of the URL in a collection period.
	Errors	Number of call errors of the URL.
	Max Concurrency	Maximum concurrency of the URL.
	Max RT (ms)	Maximum response time of the URL in a collection period.
	Apdex	Application performance index (Apdex), which indicates users' satisfaction. The value ranges from 0 to 1. The closer the value is to 1, the higher the satisfaction is. For details, see Basic Concepts - Apdex.
