### Traffic ### Traffic
Traffic for Event Triggers means the number of new events created at a given point of time. Since it's complicated to Traffic for Event Triggers is the number of new events created in a given time frame (like 1000 events per minute).
figure out the number of events created, you can use the number of Event Triggers processed as a proxy for traffic. Events can be created even if mutations don't go through Hasura i.e. using some other client. Hence, Hasura doesn't
give the number of events as metrics, but you can find this out by using metadata APIs like
[pg_get_event_logs](/latest/api-reference/metadata-api/event-triggers/#metadata-pg-get-event-logs). "Proxy"
metrics for traffic are the number of mutations, number of events processed and number of events fetched per batch.
To monitor traffic, you can use the [`hasura_event_processed_total`](#event-processed-total) metric. To monitor traffic, you can use the [`hasura_event_processed_total`](#event-processed-total) and the
[`hasura_events_fetched_per_batch`](#events-fetched-per-batch) metrics.
If the value of this metric is high (and above your established baseline), and the Hasura Event Triggers system is also If the value of `hasura_events_fetched_per_batch` is close to the configured max batch size, then it hints that there
saturated (`hasura_event_trigger_http_workers` nearing the configured HTTP worker pool size and may be some pending events in the database yet to be fetched and processed.
`hasura_event_queue_time_seconds` is also high), then you may want to consider doing the following:
1. Increasing the number of HTTP workers by increasing the
[Events HTTP Pool Size](/deployment/graphql-engine-flags/reference.mdx/#events-http-pool-size)
2. [Scaling](/latest/faq/index/#faq-scaling) your Hasura instance horizontally to handle more events.
