Hi&nbsp; @Vshah &nbsp;,&nbsp;  
If yiu have AVR module licensed on your box , you can collect everything related to specific virtual servers/ Applications.

you will be having great visability on application urls , transactions , ips , Geolocations , which heavy urls that have and …etc.

Let me know if you have this module , I can guide you to use it properly.&nbsp;  
If you need to know about it and how to provision it in your box&nbsp; , have a look at the below Article :&nbsp;

Hi&nbsp; @Vshah ,&nbsp;  
you are welcome,

AVR is a very useful module to collect huge amount of metrics and application statistics :&nbsp;  
First I will tell you the needed steps and will attach an article will help you in details :

1- create a custom analytic profile , Local traffic \>\> profiles \>\> Analystics \>\> HTTP Analytics \>\> and  
hit create.

2- Select in the profile all needed metrics that you want to collect and select the virtual server that you need to collect these metrics for.&nbsp;  
Note : you can add multiple virtual servers as you can , but please monitor your CPU and memory because AVR consumes little bit CPU , if you have a free in CPU and memory it would be great.

3-&nbsp; Hit Finish and wait almost 10 minutes , for changes to take effect and the bigip recieve a sufficient traffic.

4- After that let’s say 1 hour for example :  
Go to Statistics TAB \>\> Analytics \>\> HTTP \>\> Overview.&nbsp;  
you will see the magic 😄&nbsp;  
you can navegate all statistics also play with time slots and you can export a pdf report to review everything offline and extra …

Please Review this article for more details :&nbsp;

I hope this helps you 🙂
