Viewing Key Metrics for Flex Gateway APIs

API Manager and Anypoint Monitoring collect metrics on active Flex Gateway API instances. You can view charts related to these metrics and filter the data by date.

The metrics avaliable in API Manager are considered Key Metrics and are described here. Key Metrics are available with all Anypoint Platform subscriptions. For additional Flex Gateway API metrics not included in the Key Metrics section, use Anypoint Monitoring (Titanium subscriptions only). You can navigate to Anypoint Monitoring by clicking Anypoint Monitoring from Anypoint Platform.

The Mule API Analytics tab in API Manager is currently not available for Flex Gateway APIs. Use the Key Metrics or the additional metrics in Anypoint Monitoring.

Understanding Key Metrics

The Key Metrics section of the API summary contains the following charts:

Total Requests: Sum of requests in the selected time period for the given API.

Data is aggregated in one minute increments.
Total Policy Violations: Sum of requests that return policy violations.

Data is aggregated in one minute increments.
Total Errors: Sum of HTTP response codes that occur in the selected time period. The response codes counted in this metric are 400, 401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 408, 409, 410, 411, 412, 413, 415, 416, 417, 420, 422, 429, 500, 502, 503, 504, 504, 510, and 511.
