Frequency

The Frequency view measures how actively your interfaces are being used by analyzing execution frequency over the past 30 days. Use this analysis to identify high-traffic business-critical interfaces, detect underused or inactive interfaces and plan resources based on actual usage patterns.

Navigate to Reporting → Frequency to access interface activity analytics with interactive pie chart visualization and filtering capabilities.

Frequency Overview

Frequency measures how often each interface is executed within the monitored period (past 30 days), providing a quick overview of runtime activity across your integration landscape.

What you see:

• Interface distribution table with frequency categories and clickable blue count numbers

• Interactive pie chart with hoverable segments showing exact counts

• Data Source filter to analyze specific integration platforms

• Environment filter to switch between Production, Test, Development views

Using Frequency Categories

Frequency classification automatically categorizes interfaces into four levels based on message volume over the past 30 days:

How to use the interface counts:

Click blue interface count numbers to filter and view specific interfaces:

• Click "140" (Low) → Shows minimally used interfaces that may need review for decommissioning

• Click "47" (Medium) → Displays moderately active interfaces for standard monitoring

• Click "12" (High) → Lists frequently used interfaces requiring performance attention

• Click "8" (Very High) → Shows business-critical interfaces needing enhanced monitoring

Interactive pie chart features:

• Hover over segments to see exact interface counts (e.g. "Low: 140")

• Click pie chart segments for same filtering as blue numbers

• Click legend items (Low, Medium, High, Very High) to strike out and filter out those categories from the view

• Visual distribution shows activity balance across your landscape

Navigation workflow:

1. Assess activity distribution - Use pie chart hover to see exact counts per frequency level

2. Investigate high-activity interfaces - Click blue numbers "12" (High) and "8" (Very High) first

3. Review low-activity interfaces - Click "140" (Low) to identify candidates for decommissioning

4. Monitor critical interfaces - Focus on Very High frequency interfaces for performance optimization

What to Look For

Ideal distribution: Balanced mix across frequency levels with clear identification of business-critical (Very High) and potentially unused (Low) interfaces.

High low-frequency concentration: Many Low frequency interfaces suggest potential for landscape cleanup and decommissioning efforts.

Recommended actions:

• Low frequency interfaces: Review for business relevance, consider decommissioning inactive interfaces

• Very High frequency interfaces: Implement enhanced monitoring, performance tuning, and robust error handling

Activity patterns:

• Very High interfaces typically require custom alert thresholds and infrastructure scaling

• Low frequency interfaces should be reviewed with other KPIs (Complexity, Decommissioning) to determine retirement candidates

• Use frequency data to align operational monitoring with business-critical traffic patterns

Frequency Calculation Details:

Frequency classification is calculated using live traffic data over the past 30 days and updated regularly to reflect current usage patterns. The classification helps to:

• Identify high-traffic, business-critical interfaces that require extra monitoring or safeguards

• Prioritize monitoring and alerting coverage for high-frequency flows

• Detect underused or inactive interfaces that may be outdated or no longer needed

• Plan resources and capacity (scaling, performance tuning) based on interface load
