traffic metric

[shikharprasad]

I am exploring Apigee API Monitoring. In this there is a traffic metric. Query to this metric is count, rate, tps. Can someone please explain significance of count, rate, tps in terms of traffic metrics.

How rate is different from tps?

Will count returns back count of get/post request that was made on specific api of all api in a environment of a orginazation.

I am putting a sample json using which you can explain me.

Json:

I am assuming that you are making this API call (Metric: /traffic):
https://apidocs.apigee.com/api-monitoring/apis/get/metrics/traffic

While I could not find information in the documentation about what exactly "rate" means, when you make the API call, you are passing information through the "interval" query parameter in your API call. From the JSON you provided, it looks like your interval was 30m (30 minutes).

1. Count is the number of API calls in your alloted interval (30 minutes)
2. I believe rate depends on what other query parameters you passed in your API call. Can you share what other query parameters you passed, if possible?
3. TPS stands for "transactions per second". If you multiply the TPS by 1800 seconds (30 minutes), you'll get the total count
