How to Calculate QPS

The QPS calculation method varies depending on the time range. For details, see Table 1.

Queries Per Second (QPS) indicates the number of requests per second. For example, an HTTP GET request is also called a query. The number of requests is the total number of requests in a specific time range.

Procedure

1. Log in to the management console.
2. Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
3. Click in the upper left corner and choose Web Application Firewall (Dedicated) under Security.
4. In the upper part of the page, specify the website, instance, and time period you want to query.
   • By default, the information about all websites you add to WAF in all enterprise projects are displayed.
   • Domain Names: shows information about website domain names added to the WAF instance. Click View to go to the Website Settings page and view details about domain names of protected websites.
   • Query time: You can select Yesterday, Today, Past 3 days, Past 7 days, or Past 30 days.

5. View how many requests, attacks, and pages under each type of attacks.
   • Requests: shows the page views of the website, making it easy for you to view the total number of pages accessed by visitors in a certain period of time.
   • Attacks: shows how many times the website are attacked.
   • You can view how many pages are attacked by a certain type of attacks within a certain period of time.

   • Yesterday and Today: Security event data is gathered every 2 minutes.
   • Past 3 days: Security event data is gathered every 5 minutes.
   • Past 7 days: Security event data is gathered every 10 minutes.
