The average of the Total Response Time measured for all API calls made to an Apigee
organization environment. The Total Response Time is the amount of time it takes for
an API call to Apigee to return (in milliseconds).
Or, put another way, total response time is the time measured from when an entire API
call is received on Apigee to the time Apigee begins sending a response back to the
client app.
Average Target Time
The average number of milliseconds that it takes from the point the last byte of a
request is sent from Apigee to a backend target to the time Apigee receives the last
byte of the response.
It's basically measuring how much time the API call spends on the target
system.
Average Proxy Time
This value is calculated as the Total Response Time minus the Target Response
Time.
It's basically a measure of how much time the API call spends flowing through Apigee
itself (in milliseconds).
Target Errors
Metric
Description
Total Errors
Measures the total number of errors sent from backend targets to Apigee.
3XX Errors
Measures the total number of HTTP 3XX sent from backend targets to Apigee.
4XX Errors
Measures the total number of HTTP 4XX errors sent from backend targets to Apigee.
5XX Errors
Measures the total number of HTTP 5XX sent from backend targets to Apigee.
Payload Size
Metric
Description
Total Payload Size
The total payload size for all requests and responses between Apigee and backend
targets.
Request Payload Size
The total payload size for all requests sent from Apigee to backend targets.
Response Payload Size
The total payload size for all responses sent from backend targets to Apigee.
