Statistics

Listener

Every listener has a statistics tree rooted at listener.

. with the following statistics:

Name

Type

Description

downstream_cx_total

Counter

Total connections

downstream_cx_destroy

Counter

Total destroyed connections

downstream_cx_active

Gauge

Total active connections

downstream_cx_length_ms

Histogram

Connection length milliseconds

downstream_pre_cx_timeout

Counter

Sockets that timed out during listener filter processing

downstream_pre_cx_active

Gauge

Sockets currently undergoing listener filter processing

no_filter_chain_match

Per-handler Listener Stats

Every listener additionally has a statistics tree rooted at listener.

.. which contains per-handler statistics. As described in the threading model documentation, Envoy has a threading model which includes the main thread as well as a number of worker threads which are controlled by the --concurrency option. Along these lines, is equal to main_thread, worker_0, worker_1, etc. These statistics can be used to look for per-handler/worker imbalance on either accepted or active connections.
