Cloudflare measures the following metrics for every connection.

Metric	Name	Example	Unit
count	Count of total events	`1000`	Count
bytesIngress	Sum of ingress bytes	`1000`	Sum
bytesEgress	Sum of egress bytes	`1000`	Sum
durationAvg	Average connection duration	`1.0`	Time in milliseconds
durationMedian	Median connection duration	`1.0`	Time in milliseconds
duration90th	90th percentile connection duration	`1.0`	Time in milliseconds
duration99th	99th percentile connection duration	`1.0`	Time in milliseconds

Additional dimensions

You can divide your analytics further by the following dimensions.

Dimension	Name	Example
event	Connection Event	`connect`, `progress`, `disconnect`, `originError`, `clientFiltered`
appID	Application ID	`40d67c87c6cd4b889a4fd57805225e85`
coloName	Colo Name	`SFO`
ipVersion	IP version used by the client	`4`, `6`

Operators for filtering

Use the operators below to filter data.

Operator	Name	URL Encoded
`==`	Equals	`%3D%3D`
`!=`	Does not equal	`!%3D`
`>`	Greater Than	`%3E`
`<`	Less Than	`%3C`
`>=`	Greater than or equal to	`%3E%3D`
`<=`	Less than or equal to	`%3C%3D`

Combine filters using OR and AND boolean logic:

AND takes precedence over OR in all expressions.
The OR operator is defined using a comma , or the OR keyword surrounded by whitespace.
The AND operator is defined using a semicolon ; or the AND keyword surrounded by whitespace.

Note
Note that the semicolon is a reserved character in URLs (RFC 1738 ) and should be percent-encoded as %3B.

Analytics request structure

/api/v4/zones/{zone_id}/spectrum/analytics/events/summary?metrics=METRICS&dimensions=DIMENSIONS&filters=FILTERS&since=FROM_TS&sort=SORT&until=TO_TS&limit=LIMIT
/api/v4/zones/{zone_id}/spectrum/analytics/events/bytime?metrics=METRICS&dimensions=DIMENSIONS&filters=FILTERS&since=FROM_TS&sort=SORT&until=TO_TS&limit=LIMIT

METRICS is one or more metrics (such as count) to compute
DIMENSIONS can be used to break down the data by given attributes
FILTERS used to filter rows by one or more dimensions (see Filters section below)
SORT is the sort order for the result set; sort fields must be included in METRICS or DIMENSIONS
TO_TS is that end of time interval to query, defaults to current time
FROM_TS is that start of time interval to query, defaults to TO_TS - 6 hours
STEP is used to select time series resolution when using endpoint:
auto or omitted - selects time step most appropriate to time interval
- year
- quarter
- month
- week
- day
- hour
