Contextual developer application analytics
You can view analytics for your applications from within the Konnect Dev Portal. This helps you gain insight into your consumption of different API versions, routes, and methods.
Each application has its own dashboard, which provides a high-level summary of the Number of Requests, Average Error Rate, and p99 Latency, and charts for the following data points:
- Requests by version
- P99 latency by version

All of these metrics can be viewed within a selected time frame of up to Last 30 days, over a period of the last 90 days.
Free accounts only have access to a time frame of 24 hours.
