HTTP server metricset

HTTP server metricset

edit

This is the server metricset of the module http.

Events sent to the http endpoint will be put by default under the http.server prefix. To change this use the server.paths config options. In the example below every request to /foo will be put under http.foo. Also consider using secure settings for the server using TLS/SSL as shown

- module: http
  metricsets: ["server"]
  host: "localhost"
  ssl.certificate: "/etc/pki/server/cert.pem"
  ssl.key: "/etc/pki/server/cert.key"
  port: "8080"
  server.paths:
    - path: "/foo"
      namespace: "foo"

Fields

For a description of each field in the metricset, see the exported fields section.
