Reading a Path Detail Page
Priority badges, site-wide baseline overlay, 7-day history, HTTP methods, related alerts, and unique IPs per ASN — how to read what the page is telling you.

What the Path detail page shows
Every path prefix on the Paths list drills into a detail view with the full signal set for that endpoint. Use this page when you need to answer: "is this path being abused?".
Priority badge
Some paths carry a coloured Priority pill next to the title. These are SFCC controllers Edge treats as high-signal:
- Red — Checkout / Payment (COBilling, CheckoutServices, COSummary, Order, PaymentInstruments, Adyen) — card-testing, gift-card enumeration, payment fraud target
- Amber — Auth / Credential (Login, Account, Customer, ResetPassword) — credential stuffing, account takeover target
- Blue — Cart / Basket (Cart, BasketMgr) — grinch bots, inventory hoarding target
The badge is a cue to scrutinise traffic patterns on this path more carefully than you would a browsing endpoint.
Requests stat tile — "X× 7d avg"
The Requests tile's sublabel includes a 7-day-average comparison: "0.2% of total · 1.4× 7d avg (normal)".
- quiet (< 0.5×): traffic is well below typical
- normal (0.5–2×): within the expected range
- elevated (2–5×): unusually busy but not alarming
- spike (≥ 5×): well above typical — worth investigating
The 7-day baseline is independent of the currently-selected range — it always compares against the last 7 days' daily average.
Status-class timeseries — Site-wide overlay
The chart shows this path's requests broken down by HTTP status class (2xx, 4xx, 499, etc.), stacked. A dashed grey Site-wide line overlays the total site traffic shape.
- Path tracks the site baseline → this path is riding a general traffic pattern (legit campaign, time-of-day)
- Path diverges from the baseline → this path has independent behaviour; could be a targeted attack
Top ASNs table — Unique IPs column
The Top ASNs table shows, for each ASN hitting this path:
- Requests — volume from that ASN
- Unique IPs — distinct client IPs within that ASN captured in the path's top-N IP sample
Interpreting the Unique IPs column:
- Red (≤ 2 IPs) — likely bot. One or two IPs carrying meaningful volume is a classic scripted-attack signature.
- Amber (3–5 IPs) — worth a look. Small egress pool could be a small bot cluster or a corporate proxy.
- White (≥ 6 IPs) — distributed traffic, likely legitimate humans.
- "—" — this ASN didn't crack the top-N IP sample for this path. Usually means low ASN volume — not a signal either way.
Note: this is "how many of this path's top IPs belong to this ASN" rather than a true distinct-count. For offender detection that's the signal that matters.
HTTP methods card
Colour-coded method breakdown:
- Green — read-only methods (GET, HEAD, OPTIONS). Safe and idempotent.
- Amber — mutating methods (POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE). On prescribed-POST endpoints like COBilling-Submit, this bar should be 100% — any GET volume is probing.
- Red — (no method) — Logpush didn't supply a method for these requests. See HTTP Methods and Required Logpush Fields for what to do about this.
High-signal patterns:
- Login-Submit showing significant GETs — someone is scraping the form / harvesting tokens
- Search endpoint flipping from 80% GET to 80% POST — unusual scraper behaviour or testing of a different attack vector
- Adyen-Notify getting GETs — legit Adyen webhooks are POST-only; GETs here are a probe
Related open alerts
If any open alerts match this path directly (e.g. a path-spike alert) OR any of the ASNs in the Top ASNs table, they appear here.
This answers "is a known bad ASN hitting a known priority path?" without the operator having to cross-check manually.
Pin, Ignore, Investigate IPs
Three actions on the page header:
- Pin — float this path to the top of the Paths list
- Ignore — hide from the list by default
- Investigate IPs — opens the forensic IP sampler with this path pre-filled. Use when the continuous Top IPs view shows "—" because volume is low but you suspect real abuse — the sampler captures the full list.
Pins and ignores are saved to your workspace and shared with your whole team.
Low-volume path banner
If a path has request totals showing in the headline tiles but the Top ASNs / Cache / UA / HTTP methods panels below are all empty, you'll see an amber "Low-volume path — limited drill-down detail" banner above them.
Why: the headline counts cover every path in full, but the dimensional drill-down keeps only the busiest combinations of path, network, and browser per ingest batch. A path with low per-combination volume (say, 950 requests/hour spread across many networks) doesn't make that cut, so no breakdown was captured.
What to do about it:
- Widen the range — 7d or 30d sums across many more batches and may surface dimensional data
- Use the IPs page — the IP-level view is captured separately and may have activity for this path
- Spin up an IP discovery window via the Investigate IPs button — forensic sampling captures the full detail at high resolution
The banner is silent on paths where dimensional data is healthy.
