Smartscape - Core Entities

  • Reference
  • Published May 07, 2026

This section contains all entity types that are considered core entities.

smartscapeNodes {HOST, PROCESS, SERVICE, CONTAINER}

Application Observability service

Smartscape node name: dt.service.name

Smartscape node type: SERVICE

An Application Observability (AppObs) service entity detected by service detection.

Service entities represent the horizontal topology of your environment based on distributed tracing data, providing detailed insights into caller-callee relationships.

Unlike other Smartscape entities, service entities do not contain primary Grail fields due to the flexibility of service detection rules. Use the following service timeseries instead to query this data (refer to the query examples below).

  • dt.service.request.count
  • dt.service.messaging.receive.count
  • dt.service.messaging.process.count
  • dt.service.faas_invoke.count

Query

Find all service entities.

smartscapeNodes SERVICE

Count all service relationships, grouped by relationship type.

smartscapeEdges "*"
| filter source_type == "SERVICE"
| fields type, source_id, source_type, target_id, target_type, dt.system.edge_kind
| summarize count(), by:{type}

Count runs_on relationships from services, grouped by target entity type.

smartscapeEdges runs_on
| filter source_type == "SERVICE"
| summarize count(), by:{target_type}

Count belongs_to relationships from services, grouped by target entity type.

smartscapeEdges belongs_to
| filter source_type == "SERVICE"
| summarize count(), by:{target_type}

Traverse all service-to-service call relationships of a service.

smartscapeNodes SERVICE
| filter id == toSmartscapeId("SERCICE-0123456789ABCDEF")
| traverse {"calls"}, {"SERVICE"}, direction:"forward"

Query the average response time for all downstream services called by a specific service (identified by its ID).

timeseries avg(dt.service.request.response_time), filter:dt.smartscape.service in [
  smartscapeEdges "calls"
  | filter source_type == "SERVICE"
  | filter source_id == toSmartscapeId("SERCICE-0123456789ABCDEF")
  | fields target_id
], by:{dt.smartscape.service}

Query the 95th percentile response time for all downstream services called by a specific service (identified by its name).

timeseries responseTime_p95_timeseries = percentile(dt.service.request.response_time, 95), filter:dt.smartscape.service in [
  smartscapeNodes "SERVICE"
  | filter name == "checkout-service"
  | traverse {"calls"}, {"SERVICE"}, direction:"forward"

Base entity fields

The following base fields are used for all entities.

AttributeTypeDescriptionExamples

id

smartscapeId

stableA Smartscape ID consists of two components: an UPPER_CASE entity type and a random 16-character hexadecimal unique identifier, separated by a dash. Use Smartscape conversion functions when working with strings that represent Smartscape IDs.

<type>-017198AD253CBD63

id_classic

string

deprecatedThe entity ID that was used in the classic entity store. This ID is present in old monitoring data. Not all entities have this ID, and it is not generated for new entities. Use the id field instead, which is the Smartscape ID.

<type>-017198AD253CBD63

name

string

stableThe entity name.

localhost; easyTravel; product-catalog

type

string

stableThe entity type. UPPER_SNAKE_CASE string that represents the type of the entity.

TYPE_A

tags

record

stableA consolidated record that aggregates all tag values originating from different contexts. Each nested field within tags represents a specific key (for example, release or name). The value of each nested field is the tag value from one or multiple contexts. Tags for specific context can be queried via tags:context field. Note that rule-based tags do not exist in the new model.

tags[tag_key-1] = [context_A_tag_val-1, context_B_tag_val-1]; tags[tag_key-2] = context_C_tag_val-1; tags:context_A[tag_key-1] = context_A_tag_val-1

lifetime

timeframe

stableThe lifetime of the entity. This is a record with two nested fields: start and end, which represent the time when the entity was first and last observed, respectively. Each time an entity is updated, the end time is updated to the current time.

{ start: 2022-07-06T13:36:00.808Z, end: 2024-04-11T06:56:01.204Z }

references

record

stableProvides access to static edges pointing to other entities. In this record each nested field represents a relationship type and target type, and the value is an array of target smartscape IDs. This field is hidden by default but can be added using the fieldsAdd command.

{ references[runs_on.host] : [HOST-C251A1173C2B4B39,HOST-0E9038C7C4409D69], references[runs_on.container] : [CONTAINER-68A08967EF4F675B] }
