## Requests in the Last 180 Minutes

This chart shows all **incoming web requests in real time** during the last 180 minutes.  

- For the first time in cPanel servers, administrators can see a **live visualization of traffic volume**.  
- Hosting companies can detect when a server is approaching its **resource limits** (CPU, memory, bandwidth) by correlating traffic spikes with server load.  
- It also helps identify unusual traffic patterns that may indicate attacks or abusive crawlers.  

> **Why It Matters**
>
> This level of visibility has never been available in cPanel environments before. It empowers hosting providers to make **data-driven decisions** about scaling, performance, and security.
