Unexplained high request rate - Is there any way for me to find out why the number of requests is so high for the application?

[Rob Curtis]

Hi,

I have an app engine project where the number of requests per second seems really high: between 15 and 25 requests per second.

However, looking at the"current load" on the dashboard, most urls are below 1 request per minute and there aren't massive numbers of users using the application.

At 25 requests per second I'd expect to see multiple logs per second in the stackdriver logging, but I only see 1 or 2 every few seconds.

Another version of the application we have running, in a different region, has similar number of requests per second but with the appropriate loads showing for the urls (e.g. 60 requests per minute for certain urls). This is as expected because there are lots of people using that application. The logs also reflect this usage.

Is there any way for me to find out why the number of requests is so high for the application?

Thanks

Rob

Hello Rob,

Please note that Google Groups are reserved for general Google Cloud Platform-end product discussions and not for reporting issues, which is why I suggest moving the troubleshooting to Issue Tracker[1], where issues can be turned private in case we need to gather any project specific details.
