EdgeOne provides data analysis and display of user access to L4 (transport layer) proxy instances by analyzing L4 access logs, including traffic, connection count, connection duration, and other data, helping you better monitor the operation of L4 proxy instances.
Supported capabilities
The L4 proxy analysis page supports the statistical display of traffic, connection count, connection duration, and other data for L4 proxy instances, and supports adding filtering conditions.
Supports filtering by site, service name, forwarding rules, country/region, and other dimensions, for details, please refer to How to use filtering conditions.
2. Core indicators
Outbound traffic: Traffic transmitted from EdgeOne nodes to clients.
Inbound traffic: Traffic received by EdgeOne nodes from client requests.
Connections: The number of connections that exist within the selected time range.
Connection time (95th percentile): For connections that exist within the selected time range, the 95th percentile of connection duration is calculated, i.e., this value is greater than 95% of other connection durations.
3. Time trend chart - Traffic
Displays the time-sharing trend curve of outbound and inbound traffic.
4. Time trend chart - Connection count
Displays the time-sharing trend curve of connection count.
5. Country/Region distribution
Displays the distribution of connection count in countries/regions.
Note:
1. The data here is based on the country/region of the client, and may differ from billing data. The regional distribution of billing data is based on the actual region where the EdgeOne node serving the client is located.
2. Due to the delay and algorithm, the country/region distribution is for reference only, and it is suggested to refer to the actual log analytics results.
6. Connection duration distribution
Displays the histogram distribution of connection duration.
Analysis examples
Scenario 1: Monitor the traffic and connection count indicators of L4 proxy instances in a certain country
Under certain filtering conditions, the time trend chart on the L4 proxy analysis page can be used to monitor the operation of L4 proxy instances.
Scenario example
After you create a new L4 proxy instance, if you want to monitor the traffic and connection count indicators of the L4 proxy instance named example in Singapore, you can perform the following operations in the Data Analysis > L4 Proxy page.

4. View the time trend chart of traffic and connection count, observe whether there is a sharp increase or decrease, and determine whether the business you are concerned about is running normally.
Scenario 2: View the overall operation trend of L4 proxy instances for all sites
Scenario example
After you have added multiple L4 proxy instances to multiple sites and they have been running stably on EdgeOne for a period of time, you may want to regularly inspect the traffic trend of L4 proxy services usage for all sites in the console. You can follow the steps below.
Directions
1. Log in to the EdgeOne console, click on Data Analysis > L4 Proxy in the left menu bar, and enter the aggregated data analysis page for multiple sites.
2. View the time trend chart, observe whether the traffic and connection count have a sharp increase or decrease, and determine whether the overall business is running normally.
3. In the connection count card, click Compare Data to compare the traffic curve for the same time period in the last two days, and observe whether the business has a sudden increase or decrease in day-to-day comparison.
