#1163 - OIC - Time Taken Analysis

Introduction

My esteemed colleagues at OCI Log Analytics have provided me with the updated version of the OIC Time Taken Analysis dashboard, which should be generally available soon. 

Let's check it out; here are the integration flows we will be analysing - 

The integration is, as usual by my posts, very simple - 

The only logic being a WAIT of 30 secs, when orderNr = 123.

Now to the new dashboard - 

Time Taken Analysis Dashboard

I realise the screenshot is small, so look at the different sections - 

Filters

Here you can filter on - 

• OCI Compartment
• OIC Instance
• Integration

Regarding 'Entity' this is essentially a duplicate of the OIC Instance filter - 

I will be asking the Log Analytics team to remove this, as it tends to confuse folks.

Analysis Widget

The X-axis represents the time taken, the Y axis the integration selected.

I ran the integration 4 times, but, as you can see, this results in 4 groups, from time taken to execute perspective.

Here are the execution times from OIC Observability and the resulting widget groups -

We have 3 groups of log data, each group essentially represents an integration flow). The times are between 16 and 61 msec.

Then we have the anomaly - 

As you can see, the 30.07 secs from OIC Observability has been rounded up to 30.1 secs.

The Table Data

Here we see the 4 groups, grouped by instanceId -

Note, the instance ids are shown in lower case; in OIC itself the case is mixed. 

The Count refers to the number of log messages for the flow. The first instance has more log messages, due to it executing the WAIT. 

Other functionality here includes the ability to leverage LOGAN AI - 

We can also punch out to Log Explorer - 

Here you can drill down into the logs - 

You can, of course, also change the underlying query, add new fields, change visualisations etc.

 Back in OIC, I clone process order and create delete order and update order. I then run this a couple of times - in total 14 flows. 

The Dashboard view - 

Not filtering on a specific integration let's me see what's happening overall. This could be useful, when troubleshooting anomalies; for example, multiple integrations trying to invoke the same resource etc. Naturally, this is not viable, if you have many different integrations running.

Summa Summarum

This dashboard will be a very useful addition to the set of OIC dashboards, shipped with OCI Log Analytics. The added abilities to drill down via LOGAN AI and Log Explorer make it even more compelling.

Cerevisia Aestiva

Today's beer is a Czech lager, in a totally different league to it's US namesake - 

Set up in 1895, to provide a Czech alternative to German beers, this brewery has gone from strength to strength. The lager is 5%, with the right amount of crisp bitterness. A true delight compared to Bud Lite.
