Authentications per Application
The authentications per application service calculates the number of successful sign-on actions for all applications in a specified environment during a specified time period. This metric shows how often applications are accessed, using authentications as the measure of the application’s usage. Organizations can use this metric to:
-
Determine which applications are responsible for the highest volume of authentication requests, in rank order.
-
Refer to which applications are rarely used and are candidates for decommission.
-
Refer to the relative number of authentication requests for each connected application.
-
Determine whether an application’s usage is growing or shrinking over time.
-
View the total number of authentication requests per application over time.
The count of successful authentications is the total number of FLOW.UPDATED events with COMPLETED status during the specified period.
For example, suppose you want to see the number of authentications (per application) per day for a three-day period starting on September 1, 2019. Requests to this service require the following filter parameter to define the query:
-
occurredAtSpecifies the start date for the period of interest. For this example, to specify a date range starting on September 1, 2019, the value is
occurredAt ge "2019-09-01T00:00:00Z".
Requests to this service also require the following query parameters to define the query:
-
samplePeriodSpecifies the time interval in hours. For this example, to specify a daily interval, the value is
samplePeriod=24. -
samplePeriodCountSpecifies the number of sample periods. For this example, to specify three days of results, the value is
samplePeriodCount=3.
The authentications per application service supports limit as an optional query parameter to specify a subset of applications returned in the response. For information about limiting collections, refer to Conventions.
