Livemetrics - Get

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.

HTTP Route

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.

Host Address

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.

URI Parameters

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

Authentication is enforced for this route. See Authentication for further information.

Allowed schemes:

  • Bearer
  • Negotiate (Windows only, running as unelevated)

Responses

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.

When to use pid vs uid

See Process ID pid vs Unique ID uid for clarification on when it is best to use either parameter.
