Hi all,
My colleagues and I have been looking into ways to capture metrics around request/response processing in akka-http.
Following from issue #2216 and taking into account the 3rd party attempts linked in the description I opened a PR last year. Taking on board comments in the PR I then tried a new approach and it can be found in a branch on my fork here:
As per the description it takes into regard:
- sending request and response entity out
- timeouts
- exceptions / rejections
Note: As the custom function is applied in the ControllerStage of HttpServerBluePrint.scala it is assumed that timeouts/exceptions/rejections have already been handled upstream.
I have the following questions:
1. Does the approach taken in the branch linked above meet the requirements outlined in the issue?
- If not, any guidance would be appreciated.
2. Is there a place to add a hook to capture the last-byte time?
- The current approach captures first-byte time on non chunked responses and first-byte of last chunk on chunked responses.
All feedback is appreciated,
Thanks
