Collected Metrics

Relay collects the following metrics:

buffer.dequeue_attempts (Histogram)

Number of attempts needed to dequeue spooled envelopes from disk.

As long as there are enough permits in the [crate::utils::BufferGuard], this number should always be one.

buffer.disk_size (Histogram)

The file size of the buffer db on disk, in bytes.

This metric is computed by multiplying page_count * page_size.

buffer.envelopes_disk_count (Gauge)

The number of envelopes waiting for project states on disk.

Note this metric will not be logged when we encounter envelopes in the database on startup, because counting those envelopes reliably would risk locking the db for multiple seconds.

The disk buffer size can be configured with spool.envelopes.max_disk_size.

buffer.envelopes_mem (Histogram)

The estimated number of envelope bytes buffered in memory.

The memory buffer size can be configured with spool.envelopes.max_memory_size.

buffer.envelopes_mem_count (Gauge)

This metric is tagged with:

• version: The event protocol version number defaulting to 7.

event.queue_size (Histogram)

The number of envelopes in the queue.

The queue holds all envelopes that are being processed at a particular time in Relay:

• When Relay receives a Request, it ensures the submitted data is wrapped in a single envelope.
• The envelope receives some preliminary processing to determine if it can be processed or if it must be rejected.
• Once this determination has been made, the HTTP request that created the envelope terminates and, if the request is to be further processed, the envelope enters a queue.
• After the envelope finishes processing and is sent upstream, the envelope is considered handled and it leaves the queue.

The queue size can be configured with cache.event_buffer_size.

event.queue_size.pct (Histogram)

The number of envelopes in the queue as a percentage of the maximum number of envelopes that can be stored in the queue.

event_processing.rate_limiting (Timer)

Note

This metric is emitted only when Relay runs as internal Sentry service for event ingestion (processing feature).

Time in milliseconds spent checking for organization, project, and DSN rate limits.

Not all events reach this point. After an event is rate limited for the first time, the rate limit is cached. Events coming in after this will be discarded earlier in the request queue and do not reach the processing queue.

event_processing.serialization (Timer)

events.outcomes (Counter)

Number of outcomes and reasons for rejected Envelopes.

This metric is tagged with:

• outcome: The basic cause for rejecting the event.
• reason: A more detailed identifier describing the rule or mechanism leading to the outcome.
• to: Describes the destination of the outcome. Can be either 'kafka' (when in processing mode) or 'http' (when outcomes are enabled in an external relay).

Possible outcomes are:

• filtered: Dropped by inbound data filters. The reason specifies the filter that matched.
• rate_limited: Dropped by organization, project, or DSN rate limit, as well as exceeding the Sentry plan quota. The reason contains the rate limit or quota that was exceeded.
• invalid: Data was considered invalid and could not be recovered. The reason indicates the validation that failed.

Relay employs connection keep-alive whenever possible. Connections are kept open for 15 seconds of inactivity or 75 seconds of activity. If all connections are busy, they are queued, which is reflected in this metric.

This metric is tagged with:

• priority: The queueing priority of the request, either "high" or "low". The priority determines precedence in executing requests.

Relay scans the in-memory project cache for stale entries in a regular interval configured by cache.eviction_interval.

The cache duration for project states can be configured with the following options:

• cache.project_expiry: The time after which a project state counts as expired. It is automatically refreshed if a request references the project after it has expired.

requests (Counter)

Number of HTTP requests reaching Relay.

requests.duration (Timer)

Total duration in milliseconds for handling inbound web requests until the HTTP response is returned to the client.

This does not correspond to the full event ingestion time. Requests for events that are not immediately rejected due to bad data or cached rate limits always return 200 OK. Full validation and normalization occur asynchronously, which is reported by event.processing_time.

This metric is tagged with:

• method: The HTTP method of the request.
• route: Unique dashed identifier of the endpoint.

requests.timestamp_delay (Timer)

The delay between the timestamp stated in a payload and the receive time.

SDKs cannot transmit payloads immediately in all cases. Sometimes, crashes require that events are sent after restarting the application. Similarly, SDKs buffer events during network downtimes for later transmission. This metric measures the delay between the time of the event and the time it arrives in Relay. The delay is measured after clock drift correction is applied.

Only payloads with a delay of more than 1 minute are captured.

This metric is tagged with:

• route: Unique dashed identifier of the endpoint.

scrubbing.attachments.duration (Timer)

Time spend on attachment scrubbing.

This represents the total time spent on evaluating the scrubbing rules for an attachment and the attachment scrubbing itself, regardless of whether any rules were applied. Note that minidumps which failed to be parsed (status="error" in scrubbing.minidumps.duration) will be scrubbed as plain attachments and count towards this.

scrubbing.minidumps.duration (Timer)

Time spent on minidump scrubbing.

This is the total time spent on parsing and scrubbing the minidump. Even if no PII scrubbing rules applied the minidump will still be parsed and the rules evaluated on the parsed minidump, this duration is reported here with status of "n/a".

This metric is tagged with:

• status: Scrubbing status: "ok" means successful scrubbed, "error" means there was an error during scrubbing and finally "n/a" means scrubbing was successful but no scurbbing rules applied.

server.starting (Counter)

Number of Relay server starts.

This can be used to track unwanted restarts due to crashes or termination.

service.back_pressure (Gauge)

This metric is emitted only when Relay runs as internal Sentry service for event ingestion (processing feature).

Counts how many transactions were created from segment spans.

upstream.envelope.body_size (Histogram)

Size of queries (projectconfig queries, i.e. the request payload, not the response) sent by Relay over HTTP in bytes.

upstream.metrics.body_size (Histogram)

Size of batched global metrics requests sent by Relay over HTTP in bytes.

upstream.network_outage (Gauge)

The state of Relay with respect to the upstream connection. Possible values are 0 for normal operations and 1 for a network outage.

upstream.query.body_size (Histogram)

Size of envelopes sent over HTTP in bytes.

upstream.requests.duration (Timer)

Total time spent to send request to upstream Relay and handle the response.

This metric is tagged with:

• result: What happened to the request, an enumeration with the following values:

• success: The request was sent and returned a success code HTTP 2xx
• response_error: The request was sent and it returned an HTTP error.
• payload_failed: The request was sent but there was an error in interpreting the response.
• send_failed: Failed to send the request due to a network error.
• rate_limited: The request was rate limited.
• invalid_json: The response could not be parsed back into JSON.

• route: The endpoint that was called on the upstream.
• status-code: The status code of the request when available, otherwise "-".
• retries: Number of retries bucket 0, 1, 2, few (3 - 10), many (more than 10).

upstream.retries (Histogram)

Counts the number of retries for each upstream http request.

This metric is tagged with:

• result: What happened to the request, an enumeration with the following values:

• success: The request was sent and returned a success code HTTP 2xx
• response_error: The request was sent and it returned an HTTP error.
• payload_failed: The request was sent but there was an error in interpreting the response.
• send_failed: Failed to send the request due to a network error.
• rate_limited: The request was rate limited.
• invalid_json: The response could not be parsed back into JSON.

• route: The endpoint that was called on the upstream.
• status-code: The status code of the request when available, otherwise "-".
