Requests

​

Request

One API request your app sent to a provider. It has one or more attempts.

​

Attempt

One try of a request: the Initial call, or the Autofix retry after a patch.

​

Handling

Which attempt gave a request its final answer: the Initial call, or the Autofix retry.

​

Call

What an attempt sends: a method and a URL. Each attempt makes one call.

​

Failed request

A request whose final answer was an error, whether Manifest tried to patch it or not. Its outcome is Failed.

​

Recoverable request

A request that came back with an error Manifest can try to heal: a 4xx other than 401, 402, 403 and 429. Its outcome is Success if a patch works, Failed if not, and Unknown if the SDK never reported the retry.

​

Outcome

What your app finally received: Success, Failed, or Unknown when the SDK never reported the retry.

​

Healed

A request whose patched retry succeeded.

​

Success rate

The share of requests that ended without an error.

​

Issues

​

Issue

A group of failed requests that share one error.

​

Patch

The change Manifest applies to a failing request before the retry.

​

Patched

An issue with a working patch. No patch found means it has none yet.

​

Resolved

An issue you marked as resolved, usually once you fixed it in your code. A resolved issue leaves the default Issues list, and nothing else changes: it does not depend on whether Manifest has a patch for it. If a request hits the issue again, Manifest reopens it.

​

Providers and projects

​

Provider

The API a request calls.

​

Endpoint

The method and the path of a request.

​

Health badge

A provider’s health badge follows its success rate over the period.

​

SDK

The library you add to your app. It records your requests and applies the patches.

​

Live self-healing

The project setting that lets Manifest patch requests. It is on by default.
