Agent StatsD Metrics
This guide only applies to Next-Gen WAF customers with access to the Next-Gen WAF control panel. If you have access to the Next-Gen WAF product in the Fastly control panel, you can only deploy the Next-Gen WAF with the Edge WAF deployment method.
StatsD Metrics
Metrics can be reported through StatsD to the service of your choice using the statsd-address agent configuration flag.
Metrics can be filtered using the statsd-metrics agent configuration flag.
The following metrics are reported through StatsD:
- Counters are counts since last update
- Gauges are point in time or lifetime metrics
| Metric | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
sigsci.agent.waf.total | counter | The number of requests inspected |
sigsci.agent.waf.error | counter | The number of errors while attempting to process a request |
sigsci.agent.waf.allow | counter | The number of allow decisions |
sigsci.agent.waf.block | counter | The number of block decisions |
sigsci.agent.waf.perf.decision_time.50pct | gauge | The 50th percentile of the decision time (in milliseconds) |
sigsci.agent.waf.perf.decision_time.95pct | gauge | The 95th percentile of the decision time (in milliseconds) |
sigsci.agent.waf.perf.decision_time.99pct | gauge | The 99th percentile of the decision time (in milliseconds) |
sigsci.agent.waf.perf.queue_time.50pct | gauge | The 50th percentile of the queue time (in milliseconds) |
sigsci.agent.waf.perf.queue_time.95pct | gauge | The 95th percentile of the queue time (in milliseconds) |
sigsci.agent.waf.perf.queue_time.99pct | gauge | The 99th percentile of the queue time (in milliseconds) |
sigsci.agent.rpc.connections.open | gauge | The number of open RPC connections |
sigsci.agent.runtime.cpu_pct | gauge | CPU percent used by the agent |
