The Statistics page provides an organization-wide view of your request units (RUs) consumption across all your nodes.
For per-node metrics with granular request data, method calls, and response codes, see View node requests metrics.

​
Access the Statistics page

On Chainstack, click Statistics in the left sidebar.

​
Node types

The Statistics page organizes data by node type:
  • Elastic Nodes — usage statistics for your elastic nodes
  • Dedicated Nodes — usage statistics for your dedicated nodes
Click the corresponding tab to view statistics for each node type.

​
Filter your statistics

Use the filters to narrow down the displayed data.

​
Date filter

The date filter lets you select a time period for viewing statistics:
  1. Click the Date Filter dropdown.
  2. Select the period type:
    • Previous — past completed periods
    • Current — the current period
    • Next — future periods (for projections)
  3. Enter a number and select a time unit: days, weeks, months, quarters, or years.
  4. Toggle Include current to include or exclude the current period.
  5. Click Update filter to apply.
The Statistics page displays cumulative totals for the selected period. For example, selecting “Past 1 day” shows the total RUs consumed during that day, not a breakdown of usage within the day.

​
Protocol filter

Filter statistics by specific blockchain protocols:
  1. Click the Protocol dropdown.
  2. Use the search box or scroll to find protocols.
  3. Select one or more protocols, or click Select all.
  4. Click Update filter to apply.

​
Protocol network filter

Filter statistics by specific networks within protocols:
  1. Click the Protocol network dropdown.
  2. Select the networks you want to view.
  3. Click Update filter to apply.

​
Statistics charts

The Statistics page displays the following data visualizations:

​
Usage by protocols and networks

  • RUs by protocols — a bar chart showing request units consumed per protocol
  • RUs by protocol networks — a breakdown of request units by specific networks within each protocol

​
Usage by billing periods

  • Number of RUs over billing periods — shows your RU consumption across billing cycles

​
Understanding request units

Request units (RUs) measure the size and complexity of request processing. Different request types consume different amounts of RUs:
  • Full node requests: 1 RU
  • Archive node requests: 2 RUs
For detailed RU pricing by protocol, see Request units.
