Conversation
#4251 introduced a suite of MkStreamLabel components that can be used to inspect and label traffic. MkWithLabels offers a way to construct this type externally, now that we will have use for it in the inbound proxy. Signed-off-by: katelyn martin <kate@buoyant.io>

this commit introduces a new middleware layer to the inbound proxy. this instruments inbound traffic with Prometheus telemetry that records response body latency, and emits a histogram of response body durations. the buckets are chosen to mimic the request and response buckets emitted by the outbound proxy, with their granularity flipped. in other words, the inbound proxy is more interested in fine-grained request body metrics than response body metrics, while the outbound proxy is more interested in fine-grained response body metrics than request body metrics. * #4418 * #4419 Signed-off-by: katelyn martin <kate@buoyant.io>

* feat(app/inbound): introduce response duration metrics this commit introduces a new middleware layer to the inbound proxy. this instruments inbound traffic with Prometheus telemetry that records response body latency, and emits a histogram of response body durations. the buckets are chosen to mimic the request and response buckets emitted by the outbound proxy, with their granularity flipped. in other words, the inbound proxy is more interested in fine-grained request body metrics than response body metrics, while the outbound proxy is more interested in fine-grained response body metrics than request body metrics. * #4418 * #4419 Signed-off-by: katelyn martin <kate@buoyant.io> * docs(app): document latency metrics' histogram buckets this addresses review feedback, and introduces further documentation to the inbound proxy's response latency metrics. this commit also further polishes the outbound proxy's language around these constants, and adds mention to each half of the proxy regarding the other corresponding pair of metrics, to prevent drift in the future. to avoid churn, this commit phrases the inbound proxy's comments and language in terms that expect the forthcoming addition of a request latency layer to the inbound proxy, though that has not yet been implemented in this branch at time of writing. a todo comment is left in place to indicate this.
