API Analytics
API Analytics is part of the LoginRadius Identity Platform, designed to give you complete visibility into how your APIs are performing and being used. It transforms raw API activity logs into easy-to-read insights, helping you track traffic, monitor performance, and troubleshoot issues.
Business use cases
- Performance Monitoring – Detect latency spikes or overloaded endpoints (e.g., rising response times on
/identity/v2/auth/login). - Usage Monitoring – Track user activity and traffic surges (e.g., seasonal sales causing POST spikes on
/login). - Error Troubleshooting – Analyze error rates to diagnose failures (e.g., 500 errors from misconfigured integrations).
- Client & Traffic Profiling – Identify top consumers by source or user agent (e.g., 80% traffic from one mobile SDK).
- Trend Analysis – Spot recurring usage patterns (e.g., Monday morning request spikes).
- Reporting & Compliance – Export data snapshots for audits and stakeholder reviews.
Key Features
- Real-time visibility into traffic, latency, and errors
- Top 5 breakdowns for IPs, hosts, endpoints, methods, status codes, and user agents
- Powerful filters to drill down by any attribute
- Daily and hourly trend graphs for both traffic and latency
- Exports to CSV for raw data and PDF for reports
- Near real-time refresh every 5–15 minutes
Dashboard Sections
This feature can be found under the User Insights --> Platform Insights section of Admin Console. To enable this feature on your tenant, contact the LoginRadius support.
- Applying Filters to All Sections
- Total Requests and Top 5 Breakdowns
- Requests Trend Graph
- Latency Graph
- Request Volume by Source (Top 5)
- Exporting the Whole View as PDF
Filters apply across the dashboard, so every graph and metric stays in sync. You can filter by status code, method, path, user agent, IP address, or host. Active filters appear as removable chips, and a reset button clears them.
Example: Filter to only show 500 errors from /auth requests during peak hours.
The dashboard starts with a KPI showing total request volume. Below, bar charts highlight the top 5 values for each category: IPs, hosts, HTTP methods, API paths, status codes, and user agents.
Example: A single IP generated 74% of traffic—helping you identify an integration or potential abuse.
A line chart plots request volumes over time, by day or hour (depending on date range). Hover to see exact values and changes.
Example: Spot weekday spikes tied to customer usage patterns, or confirm that traffic increased after a product launch.
This chart shows average response times and optional percentiles like P95. It updates with filters, so you can measure performance by method, path, or status.
Example: Identify load-related slowdowns (e.g., high latency during volume peaks), isolate issues in specific endpoints.
Expanded breakdowns show top IPs, hosts, methods, paths, statuses, and user agents. Each section includes a “Download CSV” option with full data, not just the top 5.
Example: Export a full list of IP addresses to your security team for review.
One click generates a PDF snapshot of the dashboard, including filters and date ranges. The PDF captures charts, KPIs, and breakdowns exactly as they appear.
Example: Share a formatted report with stakeholders or attach it to an audit submission.
Best Practices
- Compare request volume and latency side-by-side to analyze tenant performance.
- Watch the Top IPs section regularly for anomalies.
- Use trend graphs to anticipate traffic surges and plan scaling.
- Leverage PDF exports for internal reviews or compliance reporting.
