URL

This function monitors the calls of the current application by external services. It covers 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.

	1–10s	Number of requests with 1–10s response time
	> 10s	Number of requests with response time longer than 10s

URL invocation is the starting point of tracing. When you click a URL, the tracing page is displayed, showing the URL invocation condition in a certain period (default: 20 minutes).
You can add a URL for tracing by referring to Configuring URL Tracing.
