This report allows you to view the total API activity for the time period chosen. API includes any socket-attached application.
The data provided is session-based. That is, the session counts are done based on a session initiation and termination record. If no session termination record exists for some reason, there will not be a record of the session. Remember also, that the session is recorded at the time that it finishes. The session may have lasted for 8 hours, but it is recorded at the time it terminates.
If you wish to view time slices of active sessions taken in a sampling mode, please review the Base History reports. You may also want to look at "near time" API activity by viewing the SessionLog API reports. The SessionLog API reports show sessions that are currently in progress or have recently completed.
If you enter the minimum bytes filter, these reports show the total number of sessions or bytes per API session exceeding the number of bytes entered for the interval chosen. You may use this report to show you when most sessions exceeding a certain byte limit take place. For example, you may want to see when API sessions with over 5 megabytes took place.
