External endpoint metrics on graphana

[ritz]

Hello,
We are thinking of using dogstatsd for measuring the metric data of calls made to external api
(on internet) But i believe i don’t need to call datadog library and can leverage isito (since we have isito datadog integration)

Example if i call https://www.google.com then i would like to see the metrics.

I did create the right service entry and virtual service like below and when i call them from the pod it works. But unable to see the calls on graphana. Is this a missing feature

piVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: ServiceEntry
metadata:
name: google
spec:
hosts:

• www.google.com
  ports:
• number: 443
  name: https-port
  protocol: TCP
  resolution: DNS
  location: MESH_EXTERNAL
