### Measurements & Fields: ### Metrics:
- http_response - http_response
- response_time (float, seconds) # Not set if target is unreachable for any reason - tags:
- http_response_code (int) # The HTTP code received - server (target URL)
- result_type (string) # Legacy field mantained for backwards compatibility - method (request method)
- result_code (int) # Details [here](#result-tag-and-result_code-field) - status_code (response status code)
- result ([see below](#result--result_code))
- fields:
- response_time (float, seconds)
- http_response_code (int, response status code)
- result_type (string, deprecated in 1.6: use `result` tag and `result_code` field)
- result_code (int, [see below](#result--result_code))
#### `result` / `result_code`
### Tags:
- All measurements have the following tags:
- server # Server URL used
- method # HTTP method used (GET, POST, PUT, etc)
- status_code # String with the HTTP status code
- result # Details [here](#result-tag-and-result_code-field)
### Result tag and Result_code field
Upon finishing polling the target server, the plugin registers the result of the operation in the `result` tag, and adds a numeric field called `result_code` corresponding with that tag value.

NOTE: The error codes are derived from the error object returned by the `net/http` Go library, so the accuracy of the errors depends on the handling of error states by the `net/http` Go library. **If a more detailed error report is required use the `log_network_errors` setting.**
