How/when is Data Operations measured?

[jgskarda]

I can't answer your initial question on specifically when it's updated... but within the console, I strictly look at this to get an idea of what my data operations are right now or if I made progress against it in the last hour when making changes. Although it might not match data operations exactly, my understanding is data operations would be roughly the sum of "Integration traffic" + "Cloud Function Calls" + "Cloud Variable Requests". I think event traffic is roughly the sum of the 3. You can filter this by each device group or device firmware so fairly easy to pin point where it's coming from and if/when a change you made is making progress against reducing data operations for say a development device. You may need to add the device to a group first but I think that would work well.

That was my approach at least when I was attempting to reduce my own data operations:

Method to reduce data operations | Publish an array of JSON

That seemed to work quite well and was super simple to also update my backend. Saw a significant drop in the Event Traffic coming from the device: [image] The spike on the 21st is when I was doing the development and continually testing it but I’d say it cut my event traffic to at least 1/3 of what it was maybe even 1/4 of what it was before. The time it takes my own backend to process each webbook did increase a little (since it now has to process several data packets as an array). That went…
