Layer7 Dstat — Live Layer 7 HTTP Flood Monitor
Layer7 Dstat (also called Layer 7 Dstat or L7 Dstat) is a real-time request counter for HTTP/HTTPS traffic. This page on graph.rdp.plus shows live bypassed RPS, blocked RPS, and a rolling 60-second graph so you can see flood intensity as it happens.
What is a Layer7 Dstat?
A Layer 7 dstat measures application-layer traffic — mainly HTTP and HTTPS requests per second — instead of only raw packets (Layer 3/4). During an HTTP flood, GET/POST storms, or bot traffic, RPS is the clearest signal. This Layer7 Dstat updates live over WebSocket and stays lightweight so the panel itself does not become the bottleneck.
How to use this live dstat
- Open https://graph.rdp.plus/ and watch BYPASSED R/S.
- Send test traffic to a path such as /demo (example above) — not only the homepage if you want cleaner paths.
- The graph plots PASSED vs BLOCKED R/S for the last ~60 seconds.
- This tool is a monitor: it counts and visualizes traffic; it does not mitigate or firewall attacks by itself.
Metrics explained
- Bypassed / Passed RPS — requests that reached the counter (path hits + server HTTP rate).
- Blocked RPS — rejected/blocked rate when a block path is active (otherwise 0).
- Elapsed — time since you loaded this page (last F5).
- Live graph — short history for comparing spikes during Layer 7 floods.
Experience & expertise (E-E-A-T)
This Layer7 Dstat is built for production-style visibility on high-traffic web stacks (LiteSpeed / cPanel style environments): procfs network counters, LiteSpeed realtime report, optional access-log sampling, and WebSocket push. It stores summarized events — not every packet — so it can run continuously during heavy L7 load.
Use it to validate stress tests, compare peak RPS, and confirm whether traffic is reaching the origin behind Cloudflare or a reverse proxy. For mitigation, pair it with your WAF, Cloudflare rules, or server firewall.
FAQ — Layer 7 Dstat
Is Layer7 Dstat the same as a network dstat?
No. Classic dstat/nload focus on bandwidth and packets. A Layer7 Dstat focuses on HTTP request rate (RPS).
Does this stop DDoS attacks?
No. graph.rdp.plus Layer7 Dstat is for monitoring and measurement only.
Why do people search “layer7 dstat”?
Operators and testers need a simple live page that proves L7 flood volume in RPS with a clear graph — without heavy dashboards.
