Data collection at scale needs visibility. You need to know what's working, what's failing, and where your budget is going. The new FourA dashboard analytics give you exactly that.
What's New
Request Timeline
A real-time chart showing your request volume over time, with success and failure rates overlaid. The timeline is filterable by task type (single, browser, proxy) and time range (24 hours, 7 days, 30 days).
Use it to spot patterns: maybe your success rate dips every morning when a particular target site runs maintenance, or your volume spikes on certain days when scheduled jobs run.
Success Rate by Target Domain
Not all target sites are equal. Some return data reliably with a simple single task. Others need browser rendering or proxy rotation to succeed consistently.
The per-domain success rate view shows you exactly where to focus your optimization effort. If competitor-a.com has a 99% success rate but competitor-b.com is at 72%, you know to investigate competitor-b. Maybe it needs a different task type or a more specific waitFor selector.
Response Time Distribution
See your latency profile at a glance: p50, p95, and p99 response times across all tasks. The distribution chart shows where your requests cluster and identifies outliers.
This is especially useful when comparing task types. Single tasks typically cluster under 1 second. Browser tasks spread between 2 and 8 seconds. If your browser tasks are taking 15+ seconds, the timeout is likely doing the work, so check your waitFor selectors.
Bandwidth and Cost
Every request transfers data and has an associated cost. The bandwidth view shows your total data transfer by day, and the cost breakdown shows spend by proxy type, task type, and target domain.
The most common finding: teams discover they're using browser or proxy tasks on sites that work fine with single. Switching those targets to single can cut costs by 50-70% for those requests.
How to Use Analytics Effectively
- Check weekly. A quick 5-minute review catches trends before they become problems.
- Sort by success rate. Fix the worst-performing targets first. They're wasting the most requests (and your budget).
- Compare task types. If a target works with
single, don't usebrowser. Speed and cost both improve. - Set alerts. Watch for sudden drops in success rate, because they usually mean the target site changed something.

And here's what we've noticed from early users: most teams find at least one quick win within their first review. Usually it's a batch of requests using browser on a site that works fine with single, or a target domain with a 60% success rate that just needs a different task type. Five minutes of looking at the data saves hours of wasted requests.
