URL

This function monitors the calls of the current application by external services. It includes URL, Dubbo server, CSE server, CSEProvider cluster, and FunctionGraph monitoring. This type of monitoring item demonstrates the actual external status of the entire service. For example, if the average response time of a URL is long, it means that external users take a long time to query the corresponding data.

This section focuses on URL monitoring.
