Introduction to Monitoring Health with Analytics
You can monitor the health and performance of any service, service version, route, or application managed by Kong Konnect.
Analytics provides traffic reports to help you track the performance and behavior of your APIs and runtimes. Use these reports to quickly access key statistics, monitor vital signs, and pinpoint anomalies in real time.
Depending on your Kong Konnect subscription tier, Analytics retains historical data for the following lengths of time:
- Free: 24 hours
- Plus: 6 months
- Enterprise: 1 year
In the Service Hub, you can see activity graphs for services, service versions, or routes for the past 30 days. For services, these graphs display request counts. For service versions and routes, the graphs show requests broken down by status codes.

For greater insights into your service usage, access the dedicated 
Analytics page .
From Analytics, you can view dashboards, access historical data for a range greater than 30 days, and customize the entities in a report:
- View the Analytics dashboard to track traffic and errors by error code across all services in your organization.
- Export historical data in CSV format for any individual service, service version, or route.
- Create a custom report for any number of services, routes, or applications, filtered by time frame and grouped by metric.

Terms
- Request Count
- Displays a count of all proxy requests received. This includes requests that were rejected due to rate limiting, failed authentication, and so on.
- Status Codes
- Displays visualizations of cluster-wide status code classes (1xx, 2xx, 3xx, 4xx, 5xx). The Status Codes view contains the counts of status code classes graphed over time, as well as the ratio of code classes to total requests.
- Time frame selector
- Controls the time frame of data visualized, which indirectly controls the granularity of the data. For example, the “5M” selection displays 5 minutes in 1-second resolution data, while longer time frames display minute, hour, or days resolution data.
- Traffic metrics
- Provide insight into which of your services and service versions are being used and how they are responding.
