Abstract

A custom metrics technique includes: accessing a packet; processing the packet using a packet processing pipeline of a service engine in a distributed network service platform, including: reaching a pre-specified point in the packet processing pipeline; inserting, in the packet processing pipeline, script code that corresponds to the pre-specified point; executing the script code to collect at least metric-related data associated with a user-specified metric object; and executing remaining packet processing pipeline.
