Overview

This module stores and displays the restcalls made by this application to published services, including the request- and response-content. This is a very powerful tool for managing and troubleshooting the application's api calls.

Also it provides an overview of the number of calls made per api. Also its average response time and the max. Each day.

Since potentially many calls will be made, it is important to only enable this history, especially in production, when there is reason to do so and to keep this information to a very limited extent.
