Configure a canary

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Before you can add a canary stage to a pipeline, you need to configure what the canary consists of, including:

A name by which a canary stage can choose this config
The specific metrics to evaluate, and a logical grouping of those metrics
Default scoring thresholds (which can be overridden in the canary stage)
Optionally, one or more filter templates

Canary configuration is done per Spinnaker application . For each application set up to support canary, you create one or more configs.

Create and use filter templates

Filter templates allow you to compose and parameterize advanced queries against your telemetry provider. Parameterized queries are hydrated by values provided in the canary stage .

Things to keep in mind

Each filter template you create for a given canary configuration is available to each individual metric you add.
The query against your metrics is the metric type plus selectors that refine what is returned in the time series.

For Spinnaker canary purposes, the filter template contains only those refining selectors. The metric type is provided by the list of metrics above.
