The Analytics & Logs section is your command center for understanding how your website or app is performing, who’s visiting, and whether anything is going wrong. Think of it as your performance, security, and traffic health dashboard.
Requests Over Time – Displays the number of requests over time. Helps you spot spikes or patterns.
Request Summary – Shows the total number of requests. It gives you a quick view of overall cache efficiency.
Traffic Over Time – Displays the total amount of data transferred. Helps track bandwidth trends and heavy usage days.
Traffic Summary – Shows the total volume of traffic. Easy way to see how much data was saved vs. fetched.
Users Over Time – Tells you how many unique visitors accessed your site over time. Understand visitor growth and engagement over time
Legend
Saved – Requests served from cache; the server didn’t have to process these requests.
Bypass – Requests explicitly bypassed the cache (for example, due to rules or dynamic content).
Miss – Requests that should have been cached but were not found in cache, so the server processed them.
Total – Total requests received (Saved + Miss + Bypassed)
Note:
X-axis: Time intervals
Y-axis: Number of requests (Request over time) or bandwidth used (traffic over time)
2. DNS Statistics
What it does: Monitors DNS request activity over time and across regions.
Requests Over Time – Time series view of DNS query volume. Helps identify peak query times and spot abnormal spikes
Requests by Location (Map) – Highlights regions generating DNS traffic. Useful for detecting where most traffic originates and spotting unusual geographic patterns
Note: These are DNS query requests, not actual user requests. If a request is cached, it will be served from the cache and will not reach the edge server.
3. Error Statistics
What it shows: Errors between VergeCloud and your servers. Quickly tells you if downtime, misconfigurations, or server issues are causing failures.
Errors Over Time – A time-series graph that shows the number of origin-related errors detected over a selected date range. Helps you spot error spikes and understand when issues started or resolved.
Error Details – What types of errors occurred and how many. Useful for diagnosing causes and fixing recurring problems.
4. Attack Statistics
What it shows: Data on malicious activity targeting your site (hack attempts, bot traffic, etc.).
Attacks Over Time – Timeline of detected attacks, showing when and how many attacks occurred. Helps identify peak attack periods and unusual spikes to strengthen defenses.
Attack Locations – Heat map of attack sources. Helps pinpoint where attacks are coming from geographically
Frequent Attacker IPs – IPs that keep trying to break in. Useful for blocking or blacklisting repeat offenders.
Top Targeted URLs – Which parts of your site attackers go after most (e.g., login pages, config files). Helps secure high-risk pages and patch vulnerabilities.
5. Location Statistics
What it shows: Where your traffic is coming from geographically.
Map View – Darker countries = more traffic.
Table View – List of countries with traffic volume + quick firewall action buttons.
6. Response Statistics
What it shows: How fast your server responds and what status codes it returns.
Response Latency Over Time – Shows if your server is getting slower or faster. X-axis shows time intervals and Y-axis shows main server response time.
Status Codes Breakdown – Pie chart of success (2xx), redirects (3xx), client errors (4xx), and server errors (5xx).
Status Codes Over Time – Tracks when errors started or got worse.
7. Visited IPs Statistics
What it shows: The IP addresses making the most requests to your site. This helps spot unusual or abusive traffic patterns.
Top IPs List – Shows who’s hitting your site most often. Useful for detecting bots, scrapers, or potential attackers
Available Options:
Add to Firewall Rules – Block or allow traffic from a specific IP. Quickly stop suspicious IPs or whitelist trusted ones.
Add to IP List – Add an IP to an existing list (the list must already exist). Makes it easier to manage groups of IPs for future firewall rules.
