Response time in percentage based on a gauge metric

[Sakthi Raam]

Good day All!

I would like to seek some advice on how to calculate response time (latency SLI) based on a gauge metric. I don’t have a histogram bucket.

Kafka_network_requestmetrics_totaltimems{request=“”,quantile=“0.50”}

Above is the time series of interest which records the response time( in milliseconds) in quantile.

I basically want to get the percentage of request that got processed within x seconds and also want to find the percentage of request that got processed above x seconds for a given quantile (99%- This is available as part of the metric)

Looking forward for some help

Thank You

Regards

Sakthi

This looks more like a pre-calculated quantile, which is part of a
summary (not a gauge). Although you could argue, the quantile itself
is a gauge. So perhaps that's what you mean. Just saying to avoid
misunderstandings.

To answer that question, you need a histogram (with x seconds as a
bucket boundary).

This question sounds like you have mixed up two questions into
ane. The 99th percentily (AKA quantile="0.99") is the duration after
which 99% of requests finished processing, and 1% of requests took
longer than this duration.
