Time Period and Data Aggregation

Predefined Time Period

As you always look forward to generate data for a particular range of time, API Management has provided with some predefined options of Time Period, which are:

• Last Hour
• Last 24 Hours
• Last Week
• Last Month
• Date Range 

The first four options are fixed time options that give data selection as their respective names suggest, whereas the last option is a user-defined time option where you can pick the desired time period by choosing the start and end date.

Depending on the time period selected, a Data Aggregation option is also available (refer the figure above) to group the data to further narrow down the data analysis:

• By Minute (this option is available for only Last Hour and Date Range time periods)
• By Hour (this option is not available for the Last Hour and Last Month time periods)
• By Day (this option is not available for Last Hour and Last 24 Hours time periods)

• By Week (this option is only available for Last Month and Date Range time periods)
