/api/status response too big exponents

davidmw

I'm taking a look at /api/status response and it should be very useful for insights into the system, error rates, configuration bottlenecks, and for scaling.

The json this generates is a real challenge to view. Postman handles it fine but tree viewers are struggling with it. One problem is due to excessively large exponents.

Example document:

            "prime-mvc.[/admin/lambda/edit].requests": {
                "count": 10,
                "fifteenMinuteRate": 4.44659081257E-313,
                "fiveMinuteRate": 1.4821969375E-313,
                "maximum": 48.150635,
                "mean": 39.182320035497995,
                "meanRate": 6.46708454297529E-6,
                "median": 45.958017,
                "minimum": 23.08056,
                "ninetyEighthPercentile": 45.958017,
                "ninetyFifthPercentile": 45.958017,
                "ninetyNinePointNinthPercentile": 45.958017,
                "ninetyNinthPercentile": 45.958017,
                "oneMinuteRate": 2.964393875E-314,
                "seventyFifthPercentile": 45.958017,
                "standardDeviation": 8.809600064895186,
                "unit": "MILLIS"
            },

Is there any value in floats computed with such precision? Maybe they could all be truncated or rounded to 4 or 5 digits?

Hiya,

Wow, those are pretty close to zero! Seems like we could round once it gets to e-50 or something :).

This seems like a usability issue/bug.

Can you please file a github issue?
