Monthly traffic
Traffic, cache, security and error indicators for one month of the Cloudflare account, with comparisons and blocking rankings.
The Mensal (Monthly) screen shows detailed metrics for one month of the connected Cloudflare account: volume, cache, mitigations, errors and what was blocked most.
Where to find it
In the side menu, go to Tráfego (Traffic) > Mensal. The screen title is Métricas Mensais (Monthly metrics), with the subtitle Métricas detalhadas do período selecionado (Detailed metrics for the selected period).
Pick the month in Mês (Month). The screen offers the last 24 months.
Indicators
| Indicator | What it measures |
|---|---|
| Total de Requisições (Total requests) | Requests processed in the period. |
| Visitas (Visits) | Visits in the period. |
| Requisições Mitigadas (Mitigated requests) | WAF blocks + challenges. |
| Requisições Desafiadas (Challenged requests) | Requests that received a WAF challenge. |
| DDoS Mitigado (DDoS mitigated) | Requests mitigated by DDoS protection. |
| Requisições Cacheadas (Cached requests) | Requests served from cache. |
| Requisições sem Cache (Uncached requests) | Requests sent to the origin server. |
| Erros 4xx (4xx errors) | Responses with a 4xx error. |
| Erros 5xx (5xx errors) | Responses with a 5xx error. |
| Banda Total (Total bandwidth) | Data transferred between the edge and visitors. |
| Banda Cacheada (Cached bandwidth) | Data served straight from the edge cache. |
Each indicator compares the selected month with the previous one (vs mês anterior) and the next one (vs mês seguinte).

The rankings show what was blocked most in the month:

Older months
When the selected month is past the Cloudflare dashboard's data retention, Advisor recovers the numbers from the daily history and shows the Histórico (rollup diário) (History, daily rollup) chip. For those months:
- Visitas and the WAF detail are not available.
- The blocking section shows Rankings de WAF indisponíveis: mês recuperado do histórico (rollup diário), que não guarda o detalhamento de segurança. (WAF rankings unavailable: month recovered from the daily rollup history, which does not keep the security detail.)
- A month from the daily history is not compared with a dashboard month, because they come from different sources. The screen shows Sem comparação: os meses vêm de fontes diferentes… (No comparison: the months come from different sources…)
To compare years or see everything collected, use Annual traffic. For a single zone's numbers, see the zone detail.
