Instana Website Analyze API
The following four endpoints expose our analyze functionality.## Mandatory Parameters :**type** **group (only for group Endpoints)** It is mandatory to select a tag by which the beacons are grouped for the distinct endpoint call* *groupByTag* select a tag by which the beacons are grouped * a full list of available tags can be retrieved from the [website tag catalog](#operation/getWebsiteCatalogTags)* *groupByTagSecondLevelKey* tags of type KEY_VALUE_PAIR need a second parameter e.g for `beacon.meta` you would need provide the label you want to groupBy here.## Optional Parameters:**pagination*** *offset* set the starting point for the data retrieval* *retrievalSize* you set the number of returned values* *ingestionTime* if you want to paginate through your result set you are interested in having the data for a fixed time point, the results set has a `cursor` class that has a ingestionTime property that indicates what you have to enter here.**order****timeFrame** As in our UI you can specify the timeframe for metrics retrieval.``` windowSize to (ms) (unix-timestamp)<----------------------|```**tagFilterExpression** As in the UI you are able to filter your query using tags and operators such as `AND` and `OR`. To get a list of all available tags you can query the [tag catalog](#operation/getWebsiteCatalogTags)* *name* The name of the tag as returned by the catalog, e.g `beacon.meta`, `beacon.http.path`* *value* The filter value of the tag, possible types are: * "STRING" alphanumerical values, valid operators: "EQUALS", "CONTAINS", "NOT_EQUAL", "NOT_CONTAIN", "NOT_EMPTY", "IS_EMPTY" * "NUMBER" numerical values, valid operators: "EQUALS", "LESS_THAN" "GREATER_THAN" * "KEY_VALUE_PAIR" of you are using meta tags `beacon.meta` you can filter for those by setting `yourMetaTagName=foo` in the value field, valid operators: "EQUALS", "CONTAINS", "NOT_EQUAL", "NOT_CONTAIN", "NOT_EMPTY", "IS_EMPTY"* *operator* one of the valid operators for the type of the selected tag**metrics** A list of metric objects that define which metric should be returned, with the defined aggregation. Each metrics objects consists of minimum two items:1. *metric* select a particular metric, available metrics in this context are * Latency Mean * Error Rate2. *aggregation* depending on the selected metric different aggregations are available e.g. SUM, MEAN, P95. The aforementioned [catalog endpoint](#operation/getWebsiteCatalogMetrics) gives you the metrics with the available aggregations.3. *granularity* * If it is not set you will get a an aggregated value for the selected timeframe * If the granularity is set you will get data points with the specified granularity **in seconds** * The granularity should not be greater than the `windowSize` (important: `windowSize` is expressed in **milliseconds**) * The granularity should not be set too small relative to the `windowSize` to avoid creating an excessively large number of data points (max 600) ## Defaults:**timeFrame**```"timeFrame": { "windowSize": 60000, "to": {current timestamp}}```
