Access GraphiQL Playground

You can use the playground to run queries or to explore how to build them. If you’re just starting, you can copy and paste these queries on the playground and discover what each field represents, available operators, and even get real-time validation for erros.

After you execute a query, the URL path is updated with an encoded parameter of the specific query you’re using. You can copy and share the URL with other users so they can use the same query.

This first query is a type of introspection query, which provides information on fields for datasets:

query IntrospectionQuery {
__schema {
queryType { name }
mutationType { name }
subscriptionType { name }
types {
...FullType
}
directives {
name
description
locations
args {
...InputValue
}
}
}
}
fragment FullType on __Type {
kind
name
description
fields(includeDeprecated: true) {
name
description
args {
...InputValue
}
type {
...TypeRef
}
isDeprecated
deprecationReason
}
inputFields {
...InputValue
}
interfaces {
...TypeRef
}
enumValues(includeDeprecated: true) {
name
description
isDeprecated
deprecationReason
}
possibleTypes {
...TypeRef
}
}
fragment InputValue on __InputValue {
name
description
type {
...TypeRef
}
defaultValue
}
fragment TypeRef on __Type {
name
ofType {
kind
name
ofType {
kind
name
ofType {
kind
name
ofType {
kind
name
ofType {
kind
name
ofType {
kind
name
ofType {
kind
name
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}

This second query uses the httpMetrics dataset, with application data:

query HttpCalculatedDataTransferred {
httpMetrics(
limit: 2000
filter: {
tsRange: {begin:"2023-01-26T10:00:00", end:"2023-01-26T20:00:00"}
}
groupBy:[ts]
orderBy:[ts_ASC]
)
{
ts
dataTransferredIn
dataTransferredOut
dataTransferredTotal
}
}

Modify fields and values to explore how GraphQL API and the playground work.

You can also test this query to filter the IPs that generated the most requests identified by the WAF as attacks to explore more possibilities in the playground:

query TOP5IPsWAFRequests {
workloadEvents(
limit: 5
filter: {
tsRange: {
begin:"2025-01-15T00:00:00"
end:"2025-01-15T20:00:00"
},
wafMatchNe: "-"
wafAttackFamilyNe: "-"
}
aggregate: {
count: rows
}
groupBy:[remoteAddress, wafAttackFamily]
orderBy:[count_DESC]
)
{
remoteAddress
wafAttackFamily
count
}
}

For more details, check the How to identify the Top IPs generating attack traffic using GraphQL API guide.

Or use this one to filter the top attack types, ranked by occurrence.

query Top5Attacks {
httpMetrics(
limit: 5
filter: {
tsRange: {
begin:"2025-01-15T00:00:00"
end:"2025-01-15T20:00:00"
}
}
groupBy:[wafAttackFamily]
orderBy:[wafRequestsThreat_DESC]
)
{
wafAttackFamily
wafRequestsThreat
}
}
