Key

Data Type

Description

http.server.request.availability

Double (Percentage)

Calculated depending on the errors reported during the test. In case there is any error, the availability is 0, otherwise 100%.

Double (Seconds)

The maximum round trip time for the packets sent to the target.

Double (Percentage)

Packet loss.

Double (Seconds)

The time it took the transaction to complete successfully. This metric is not exposed if there are errors.

web.transaction.completion

Double (Percentage)

Percentage of completion of the transaction. 100% if the transaction completes successfully, 0% if there are errors.

web.transaction.errors.count

Integer (count)

Determines whether there were errors or not. 1 if there’s an error processing the transaction, 0 if not.

Double (Percentage)

Calculated depending on the errors reported during the test. If there is any error, the availability is 0, otherwise 100%.

Double (Seconds)

DNS resolve time.

Double (Percentage)

Calculated depending on the errors reported during the test. If there is any error, the validity is 0, otherwise 100%.

web.page_load.completion

Double (Percentage)

Calculated depending on the errors reported during the test. If there is any error, the validity is 0, otherwise 100%.

web.page_load.duration

Double (Seconds)

Time to completely load the page.

ftp.client.request.duration

Double (Seconds)

Total time it took to get the first byte while executing the request.

Total time it took to get the first byte while executing the request.

sip.client.request.total_time

Double (Seconds)

Total time it took until the last response was received.

rtp.client.request.mos

Double (score)

Mean opinion score (MOS). A measurement of perceived voice quality, ranging from 1 to 5. A MOS of 5 indicates excellent voice call quality, while a MOS of 1 indicates poor voice call quality.

rtp.client.request.loss

Double (Percentage)

Percentage of frames lost computed from lost frames count and total frames.

rtp.client.request.discards

Double (Percentage)

Percentage of frames discarded computed from discarded frames count and total frames.

rtp.client.request.duration

Double (Seconds)

Total time it took for the test round execution.

Attributes

The OpenTelemetry pipeline supports the following OTel attributes:

Common Resource Attributes

Key

Data Type

Description

thousandeyes.stream.id

String

UUID of the integration used to route the data point to the external service.

thousandeyes.account.id

String

The ID of the account that the telemetry data is associated with.

thousandeyes.test.domain

String

Identifies the origin of the test data. Possible values: cea (Cloud and Enterprise Agents), endpoint (Endpoint Agents).

thousandeyes.test.id

String

Identifies the ThousandEyes test.

thousandeyes.test.name

String

The name of the ThousandEyes test.

thousandeyes.test.type

String

Identifies the type of test. Possible values: "agent-to-agent", "agent-to-server", "dns-dnssec", "dns-server", "dns-trace", "ftp-server", "http-server", "page-load", "voice" , "sip-server, "web-transactions", "rtp", "bgp", "api"

thousandeyes.source.agent.id

String

Identifies the ThousandEyes agent that ran the test.

Note: This attribute is not part of BGP metrics.

thousandeyes.source.agent.location

String

Agent location.

Note: This attribute is not part of BGP metrics.

thousandeyes.source.agent.name

String

Agent name.

Note: This attribute is not part of BGP metrics.

thousandeyes.data.version

String

Specifies the version of the data model. Possible values:

  • v1

  • v2

thousandeyes.permalink

String

URL for the network test instance that generated the data.

Tags as Attributes

Any tag associated with the test is transformed into an attribute of the Resource.

Each tag is defined by a key and a value. For instance, you might have tags such as branch:sfo, branch:nycand team:netops

When a tag is converted to an attribute:

  • If there are several values for the same key, the attribute value will be represented as an array containing the string elements that are the values associated with the tag's key.

  • If there is only one value for the key, the attribute value will be represented as string.

For the tag examples above, the resulting attribute would be structured as follows:

{
 resource_metrics {
   resource {
     attributes {
       key: "thousandeyes.user.branch"
       value {
         array_value: {
           values: [
               {
                 string_value: "sfo"
               },
               {
                 string_value: "nyc"
               }
            ]
         }
       }
     }
     attributes {
       key: "team"
       value {
         string_value: "netops"
       }
     }
   }  
 }
}

Note that not all observability platforms accommodate the use of string arrays for attribute values. For instance, New Relic does not support this format. If your backend does not support string arrays for attributes, the tag attribute is excluded from the metric.
