What does the Dynamic web requests pane display regarding service's request performance?

The Dynamic web requests pane is designed to provide insights into how well a service is performing in response to web requests. Specifically, it displays the median response time for the requests processed by the service. The median response time is a key metric because it indicates the typical amount of time it takes for requests to be fulfilled, which helps in understanding the overall responsiveness and efficiency of the service.

This metric is particularly valuable for performance monitoring because it minimizes the impact of outliers on the performance data, allowing you to see a more accurate representation of the user experience. When monitoring web application performance, knowing how long it generally takes for requests to be handled can guide optimization efforts and help to identify potential bottlenecks or areas for improvement.

While peak memory usage, session duration, and total request count are also important metrics, they pertain to different aspects of application performance and do not specifically reflect the request responsiveness in the way that median response time does.
