1. Optimized the topology visualization by adding a virtual User node and separating business views from third-party component views to help you understand traffic relationships.
2. Changed display formats of service details from tables to trend line charts for trend analysis.
3. Extended the default query time window from the last 1 minute to the last 30 minutes.
For cluster projects, you, as the admin, require visibility into request traffic between project nodes and components to troubleshoot issues such as performance bottlenecks, connectivity issues, and node load imbalances.
FineOps provides a Traffic Monitoring function, which enables you to monitor request traffic between nodes within different time ranges.
Traffic Monitoring relies on the Tracing function, which is supported by the Elasticsearch and SkyWalking OAP components.
Therefore, you must enable these components to use the Traffic Monitoring function. Failure to do so will trigger a prompt: "Tracing-related components are not enabled. Start Elasticsearch and SkyWalking OAP in O&M Component."
You can log in to FineOps as the admin, choose Platform Management > O&M Component, start the Elasticsearch component first, and then start the SkyWalking OAP component.
You can access Traffic Monitoring in three ways.
1. Log in to FineOps as the admin, select the O&M project to be queried, and choose Project Monitoring > Traffic Monitoring.
2. Set the query time range, which defaults to the last 30 minutes. The time range cannot exceed 24 hours.
3. Check the traffic topology, as shown in the following figure.
Application Scenario
You can click abnormal points on health monitoring charts and navigate to the traffic detail views of the selected time directly.
Procedure
1. Select the specified O&M project and choose Project Monitoring > Health Monitoring.
2. Click an abnormal point on the trend chart in Real-Time Monitoring mode. A View Traffic Detail button will appear.
3. Click the View Traffic Detail button. You will be redirected to the Traffic Monitoring tab page, where the traffic details for the selected time are displayed.
When checking connectivity between components of a cluster project on the Overview tab page, you can click the View Traffic Topology button to view traffic relationships between components, determining whether the node load in the cluster is balanced.
1. Click the target O&M project and the Overview tab.
2. Click the View Traffic Topology button. You will be redirected to the Traffic Monitoring tab page.
3. Check the traffic details of the selected O&M project. The topology view displays flow details within 30 minutes prior to the current time by default.
An oval represents a component type, where the component name is displayed. You can click it to view containers hosting this type of component.
A circle represents a single container, where its IP address and port number are displayed.
A line indicates traffic inflow/outflow relationships between components, on which the arrow represents flow direction. Average request volume and response time are displayed on the lines.
Click a component in the topology diagram. You can view the number of incoming/outgoing requests per minute of this component and the corresponding response time on the right panel, as shown in the following figure.
