Captures metrics for a chosen process for a duration of time.
Note
Starting in 8.0, the metrics configuration is used as the collection specification. Prior to 8.0, the collection specification only included the default providers and could not be changed.
Note
For Prometheus style metrics, use the metrics endpoint.
GET /livemetrics?pid={pid}&uid={uid}&name={name}&durationSeconds={durationSeconds}&egressProvider={egressProvider}&tags={tags} HTTP/1.1
Note
Process information (IDs, names, environment, etc) may change between invocations of these APIs. Processes may start or stop between API invocations, causing this information to change.
The default host address for these routes is https://localhost:52323
. This route is only available on the addresses configured via the --urls
command line parameter and the DOTNETMONITOR_URLS
environment variable.
Name | In | Required | Type | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
pid |
query | false | int | The ID of the process. |
uid |
query | false | guid | A value that uniquely identifies a runtime instance within a process. |
name |
query | false | string | The name of the process. |
durationSeconds |
query | false | int | The duration of the metrics operation in seconds. Default is 30 . Min is -1 (indefinite duration). Max is 2147483647 . |
egressProvider |
query | false | string | If specified, uses the named egress provider for egressing the collected metrics. When not specified, the metrics are written to the HTTP response stream. See Egress Providers for more details. |
tags |
query | false | string | (7.1+) A comma-separated list of user-readable identifiers for the operation. |
See ProcessIdentifier for more details about the pid
, uid
, and name
parameters.
If none of pid
, uid
, or name
are specified, artifacts for the default process will be captured. Attempting to capture artifacts of the default process when the default process cannot be resolved will fail.
Authentication is enforced for this route. See Authentication for further information.
Allowed schemes:
Bearer
Negotiate
(Windows only, running as unelevated)
Name | Type | Description | Content Type |
---|---|---|---|
200 OK | Metric | The metrics from the process formatted as json sequence. | application/json-seq |
202 Accepted | When an egress provider is specified, the artifact has begun being collected. | ||
400 Bad Request | ValidationProblemDetails | An error occurred due to invalid input. The response body describes the specific problem(s). | application/problem+json |
401 Unauthorized | Authentication is required to complete the request. See Authentication for further information. | ||
429 Too Many Requests | There are too many requests at this time. Try to request metrics at a later time. | application/problem+json |
Note
(7.1+) Regardless if an egress provider is specified if the request was successful (response codes 200 or 202), the Location header contains the URI of the operation. This can be used to query the status of the operation or change its state.
