This topic provides information about the visual overview.

Description of "Figure 5-3 Graphical View"

The second section is the Visual Overview, which provides a high-level, graphical summary of the API activity captured in the audit logs. Instead of reviewing individual entries one by one, users can use this dashboard-style view to quickly understand overall usage patterns, identify heavily utilized services, and spot potential reliability or performance concerns briefly. The graphs in this section are designed to make trends easy to interpret and to support faster operational analysis and decision-making.

The Visual Overview includes the following insights:

• Top 10 Most Hit APIs: Displays the ten endpoints that receive the highest number of requests. This helps teams understand which services are most actively used across OFS-generated components and can be useful for capacity planning, usage validation, and identifying critical endpoints that may require closer monitoring.
• Most Hit API Methods: Shows the distribution of requests by HTTP method (such as GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE). This view helps characterize how the services are being used—whether the traffic is primarily read-heavy, write-heavy, or a balanced mix of operations.
• Most Common Response Status Codes: Highlights the response outcomes (for example, 2xx, 4xx, 5xx), allowing users to quickly gauge the overall health of API executions and to detect patterns that may indicate frequent client-side validation issues or server-side failures.
• Top 5 Slowest APIs: Identifies the endpoints with the highest response times, enabling teams to quickly focus on potential performance bottlenecks. This can support troubleshooting efforts by indicating where latency is most pronounced and which services may require optimization or deeper investigation.
