How we used our new GraphQL Analytics API to build Firewall Analytics

Cloudflare has released Firewall Analytics, a new product that utilizes their GraphQL Analytics API. The API allows for defining data and response format, enabling quick prototyping and iteration based on beta user feedback. Key use cases addressed by Firewall Analytics include identifying spikes in firewall activity over time, understanding common attributes of threats, and drilling down into granular details of individual events to identify potential false positives. The GraphQL Basics section provides an overview of the query format and schema structure. The article then demonstrates how to use the API for visualizing spikes in firewall activity, highlighting top Ns with common attributes, and identifying false positives.
