p95latens
p95latens is a performance metric used to describe the latency experienced by the 95th percentile of operations or requests within a system. Latency refers to the time it takes for a request to be processed and a response to be returned. While average latency provides a general idea of system performance, it can be misleading if a few very slow operations disproportionately affect the average. p95latens, on the other hand, focuses on the tail end of the latency distribution.
By measuring the 95th percentile, p95latens indicates the latency experienced by most users or requests, excluding
Understanding and monitoring p95latens is crucial for system administrators, developers, and SREs (Site Reliability Engineers) to
