Add Options for PI Web API Call Statistics

Add auditing or a view of statistics for the calls or requests done by each individual application. Allow a PI Admin to see which user or application is making a specific call and see how long it takes to complete to monitor performance and potentially resource intensive Web API calls.

    Could you also add failed requests counters?

    Also some general performance counters like requests per second (or minute), response time, ... to get an idea how intensively the api is called.

    Right now we are trying to find some problems with our current WebAPI 2017R2 and without these it's been pretty hard. I can get some of the values looking at the Debug/Audit logs, but it takes a lot of time. Things like Average response time, Number of calls per second/minute, total number of calls, failed requests, maybe a different counter for each different type of call (POST, GET, BATCH, etc).

    We'd like to know when clients are not able to connect or are getting timeouts on their queries. See Case 885702. The particular event of May 30 which prompted the case is a situation we want to be on top of - we want proactive intelligence of when it is happening instead of having a customer report the issue

    We're having ongoing stack overflow memory leaks with WebAPI 2017R2. Desperate for more stats to alert us ahead of frustrated user calls.

    In light of Peter's comment, I just wanted to point out that we have also been waiting a long time for this new feature to be released - when the feature was switched to the "in development" state we even stopped our efforts on a custom development of some scripts to have statistics on WEB API usage on our own.

    The current status has not changed. We are still working on implementing this feature, and it will be available in the next feature release.

    Kevin - a missed opportunity is that OSIsoft/Aveva has not connected with us what we expect from performance parameters. Can you share a whitepaper how we can see which user/application is consuming wich amount of data from which server. I suppose this data can be published in PowerBI.
