Understanding your request consumption over HTTP and WebSocket

Introduction

Chainstack offers comprehensive insights into node requests metrics on all subscription plans.

Monitoring Node Request Metrics

You can track JSON-RPC call activity, with successful requests defined as an HTTP 200 response or a WebSocket message transmission. Let's look at a couple of examples:

• eth_getLogs request over HTTP will return all events specified in the request and count as 1 request.
• eth_subscribe request over WebSocket will subscribe to events in real time and each event sent will count as 1 request.

Conclusion

Chainstack provides clear metrics for both HTTP and WebSocket requests, ensuring transparency in usage.
