Throttle Counter

The throttle counter provides the type of counter used to increment the throttle count.

The possible values for the throttle counter are as follows:

  • Request Count

    The throttle count is incremented by 1 after each request is processed. To use this throttle counter, define Request Count as the throttle type for Rate, Quota, High Water Mark, Error and Content based throttles.

  • Input Payload Size

    The throttle count is incremented by the size of request payload message (in bytes) after each request is processed. The Input Payload Size throttle counter is used for Payload size throttle type. See Payload Size Throttles.

  • Output Payload Size

    The throttle count is incremented by the size of response payload message (in bytes) after each request is processed. The Output Payload Size throttle counter is used for Payload size throttle type. See Payload Size Throttles

  • Transaction Payload Size

    The throttle count is incremented by the size of both request and response payload messages (in bytes) after each request is processed. The Transaction Payload Size throttle counter is used for Payload size throttle type. See Payload Size Throttles
