DynamoDB

Statistics

The DynamoDB filter outputs statistics in the http.<stat_prefix>.dynamodb. namespace. The stat prefix comes from the owning HTTP connection manager.

Per operation stats can be found in the http.<stat_prefix>.dynamodb.operation.<operation_name>. namespace.

Name Type Description
upstream_rq_total Counter Total number of requests with <operation_name>
upstream_rq_time Histogram Time spent on <operation_name>
upstream_rq_total_xxx Counter Total number of requests with <operation_name> per response code (503/2xx/etc)
upstream_rq_time_xxx Histogram Time spent on <operation_name> per response code (400/3xx/etc)

Per table stats can be found in the http.<stat_prefix>.dynamodb.table.<table_name>. namespace. Most of the operations to DynamoDB involve a single table, but BatchGetItem and BatchWriteItem can include several tables, Envoy tracks per table stats in this case only if it is the same table used in all operations from the batch.

Name Type Description
upstream_rq_total Counter Total number of requests on <table_name> table
upstream_rq_time Histogram Time spent on <table_name> table
upstream_rq_total_xxx Counter Total number of requests on <table_name> table per response code (503/2xx/etc)
upstream_rq_time_xxx Histogram Time spent on <table_name> table per response code (400/3xx/etc)

Disclaimer: Please note that this is a pre-release Amazon DynamoDB feature that is not yet widely available. Per partition and operation stats can be found in the http.<stat_prefix>.dynamodb.table.<table_name>. namespace. For batch operations, Envoy tracks per partition and operation stats only if it is the same table used in all operations.

Name Type Description
capacity.<operation_name>.__partition_id=<last_seven_characters_from_partition_id> Counter Total number of capacity for <operation_name> on <table_name> table for a given <partition_id>

Additional detailed stats:

  • For 4xx responses and partial batch operation failures, the total number of failures for a given table and failure are tracked in the http.<stat_prefix>.dynamodb.error.<table_name>. namespace.

    Name Type Description
    <error_type> Counter Total number of specific <error_type> for a given <table_name>
    BatchFailureUnprocessedKeys Counter Total number of partial batch failures for a given <table_name>
