Common Queries

​
Request Rate

# Requests per second
rate(ultrabalancer_requests_total[5m])

# Success rate
100 * (
  rate(ultrabalancer_requests_successful[5m]) /
  rate(ultrabalancer_requests_total[5m])
)

# Error rate
rate(ultrabalancer_requests_failed[5m])

​
Latency

# Average response time
rate(ultrabalancer_response_time_seconds_sum[5m]) /
rate(ultrabalancer_response_time_seconds_count[5m])

# p50 latency
histogram_quantile(0.50, rate(ultrabalancer_response_time_seconds_bucket[5m]))

# p95 latency
histogram_quantile(0.95, rate(ultrabalancer_response_time_seconds_bucket[5m]))

# p99 latency
histogram_quantile(0.99, rate(ultrabalancer_response_time_seconds_bucket[5m]))
