Calculation of distribution percentage in OpenPipeline

Akhil-Jayendran — Thu, 18 Dec 2025 08:39:59 GMT

Hello Team,

How does OpenPipeline calculate the distribution percentage of logs? Is it based on a specific time window, such as the last 2 hours, or is it calculated over all logs shipped?

While I am not 100% sure on this, I noticed that the tooltip on the 'Records over time' column gives a timestamp which indicates a window of "Last 30 minutes". I am guessing that the distribution is using the same data set as well.

If you need more flexibility or detail, you can use the built-in "OpenPipeline usage overview" dashboard that was recently added into the platform as a starting point.

Thanks @marco_irmer ,I also noticed that the ‘record over time’ is showing data only for the last 30 minutes, so I just want to confirm whether the percentage is also being calculated based on the same data.

yes, I can confirm that the time window that is being looked at is 30min. The chart shows relative development over time -each chart being on its own scale; the percentage is calculated from the sum over 30min.

All of this is based on number of records not on the volume.
