Limits
This page is about the Limits view in your application's settings. It is not about reducing your billable request count. For that, see Limiting requests.
The Limits page shows the top-10 custom metrics in your app by unique key count from the last recorded minute. Above the table, it also shows your app's total unique keys and the recorded time for that minute.
A unique key is one custom metric name plus one combination of tag values.
What the page shows
For each of the top 10 custom metrics, the page lists:
- Metric name: the name of the custom metric.
- Unique keys: how many distinct tag combinations were seen in the last recorded minute, and the share of your app's total.
- Tag examples: a sample of the tag combinations being reported. Use this
column to spot tags with many different values. If there are more examples,
the page shows a
+ morelink.
When to use this page
If you're seeing gaps in your custom dashboards, use this page to check whether any metric is generating many unique keys. High-cardinality tags are a common cause.
To reduce the number of unique keys, review the tags on that metric and use a limited range of tag values when possible.
