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**).

## Top blocked

The rankings show what was blocked most in the month:

- **IPs Bloqueados** (Blocked IPs)
- **Países Bloqueados** (Blocked countries)
- **Hosts Bloqueados** (Blocked hosts)
- **Paths Bloqueados** (Blocked paths)
- **Métodos Bloqueados** (Blocked methods)
- **User Agents Bloqueados** (Blocked user agents)
- **Regras de Bloqueio Acionadas** (Triggered blocking rules)
- **Ações de Segurança** (Security actions)
- **Ações do Firewall** (Firewall actions)
- **Origem dos Eventos de Firewall** (Firewall event sources)

## 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…)

:::note
Scheduled collection runs once a day at 02:00 (Brasília time) for each connection. See [Connections and sync](/en/advisor/conceitos/conexoes-e-sincronizacao/).
