Why does Azure monitor say there are 26 requests (sum) when I am the only person accessing the web app and I look at 2 pages?

Question

I am the only person who knows about my new Azure Blazor web app. I browse to my app and look at two pages. The Azure monitor says there are a large numbers of requests at that moment in time (ranging from 7 to 26 to 66). What is being counted as a request? Why isn't the "request sum" closer to 2? Sorry I can't give more details. The Blazor app simply displays a list of 40 items and shows 3 images any time an item is selected in the list.

Answer 1

• Each metric value includes total/minimum/maximum/average/count properties.
• The count property indicates the number of samples in that time period.
• In MetricsValue, total represents the sum of all of the values in the time range.

requests | summarize original_events = sum(itemCount), transmitted_events = count()

• Sum – the sum of all values captured over the aggregation interval. Sometimes referred to as the Total aggregation.
• Count – the number of measurements captured over the aggregation interval. Count doesn't look at the value of the measurement, only the number of records.

Please refer MS Doc , Azure Monitor Metrics aggregation and display explained ,SO1 and SO2 for more information.
