Traffic Viewer How-To Guides on Webscale Product Documentation

Using Traffic Viewer

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Traffic Viewer presents logs information about your application network traffic. You can drill down to specific logs based on logs type and date range. Additionally, you can filter results based on specific attribute values. The viewer for Traffic Viewer functions as the wrapper for all four types: CDN, CSP reports, Pageview, and Proxy (also known as the Traffic viewer logs type). As such, it displays views for them through a dedicated page for each logs type.

Graphing Metrics

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

The Traffic Viewer graph provides a visualization of your application traffic. While the Records table offers a granular, line-by-line view of individual log records, the graph transforms this data into aggregated metric series. By mapping these metrics over a specified time range, you can quickly identify traffic spikes, service dips, or unusual patterns that warrant further investigation.

Traffic Viewer overview

To graph a single metric, select your log type and metric preference from the Type and Metric dropdowns in the Records table filter bar. For more advanced analysis—such as overlaying multiple metrics, comparing different log types, or applying unique filters to individual series—click the Configure icon in the top-right corner of the graph.

Building Traffic Viewer Filters

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

You can use the Traffic Viewer Filter field to create filters for the logs search query. Along with the time range and logs type option, the filter defines the query.

The filter builder enables you to easily navigate records to find specific logs interactions. There are many ways to build filters; some methods depend on how you are viewing logs (records or groups view). For information on the records and groups views as well as how to use Traffic Viewer, see Using Traffic Viewer .
