Data Movement: Cloud Requests
This statistic tracks the total number of cloud requests that occur to Oracle Cloud
Infrastructure Object Storage as the result of cloud snapshot operations. A request
often consists of many bytes or, in some cases, a request might not transfer any data. A
request is equivalent to a coarse-grained HTTP request. For example, deleting a cloud
backup would result in several cloud requests but no bytes transferred. By comparison, a
backup would result in many nwrite requests, each of which results in
many thousands of bytes transferred.
When to Check Cloud Bytes
Use this statistic when investigating cloud snapshot activity to determine whether requests are succeeding and how many requests are being processed. In conjunction with cloud bytes, observers can see the rate at which their snapshots are progressing (restore or backup) and determine how quickly requests are being processed successfully.
