Probes- Samples

Overview

There is a single API call for retrieving Probe data samples.

Required Parameters:

ids
At least one PROBE_ID must be specified. Up to 20 PROBE_IDs can be specified in each request. Multiple ids can be formatted as either a comma separated string or an array represented by multiple HTTP parameters named “ids[ ]”

Optional Parameters:

starttime
An integer unix timestamp (seconds since epoch) representing the beginning of your query timeframe.
endtime
An integer unix timestamp (seconds since epoch) representing the end of your query timeframe.
keys
A list of keys you want to include (see ‘Probe Sample Keys’ below). This can either be a comma separated string or an array represented by multiple HTTP parameters named “keys[ ]”. Default: “l_l, l_s, l_u, l_h”
sample_size
Override the default sample size that is determined by the starttime/endtime range. This will only work if you specify a sample_size larger than that automatically calculated for the time range. If you specify a smaller sample_size, the default sample_size will be used.

Note: If starttime and endtime both are not provided, the last 5 minutes of samples are returned. Also, if the frequency of probe is greater than the duration specified for samples, the request will not return any samples.

Probe Sample Keys

key name           valid combinations
latency               l, l_l, s_l
latency_percent       lp, l_lp
status_code           s, l_s, s_s

Note:

  • the prefacing ‘l_’ means ‘latest’; return most recent sample data.
  • the prefacing ‘s_’ means ‘separated’; return data from individual components
