Services

You can drill-down from the MENU > TOPOLOGY page by selecting a service or a workload in the Istio service mesh. You can trace back an issue from the top-level service mesh layer by navigating deeper in the stack, and see the status and most important metrics of your Kubernetes controllers, pods, and nodes.

List of services 🔗︎

The MENU > SERVICES page contains information about the services in your service mesh. Above the list of services, there is a summary dashboard about the state of your services, showing the following information:

• Services: The total number of services in the selected namespaces.
• Services out of error budget: These services do not meet their Service Level Objectives (SLOs).
• Services without SLOs set: There are no Service Level Objectives (SLOs) set for these services.
• Services without alerts set: There are no alerts set for these services.
• Alerts firing: The number of active alerts.

The list displays the services (grouped by namespaces), and a timeline of the metrics-based health score of each service. You can filter the list to show only the selected namespaces, and display historical data by adjusting the timeline.

• To display the details of a service, click the name of the service.
• To open the Grafana dashboards related to the service, click .
• To run tracing with Jaeger click .
• To display the detailed health metrics of a service, click the health indicator of the service for the selected period.

From the services list, you can drill down through the following levels to the underlying resources of the infrastructure: List of services > Mesh Service > Service > Pod > Node
