Rate Limit warning emails - please include more information

We have 10+ Okta Orgs. We would like to see the email that gets generated when we hit endpoint rate limits to include more details such as...

  • the actual end point name that has been exceeded, by how much it was exceeded and what the existing limit is defined at
  • which Org the rate limit occurred in

All this information would help in the troubleshooting process.

    We have 7+ Orgs and 100% agree that including just the link to the system event log is insufficient. Would be great if the email body included the ORG url, Rate limit etc. Would also be great if the elastic limit was shown in the header.

    Hi Rob,

    You need to develop something custom for this. there is nothing out of the box. However I believe that End Point is included in the Rate Limit alert Email. Rest other parameters you can get via custom API solution.

    Okta provides three headers in each response to report on both concurrent and org-wide rate limits.

    For org-wide rate limits, the three headers show the limit that is being enforced, when it resets, and how close you are to hitting the limit:

    • X-Rate-Limit-Limit
    •  - the rate limit ceiling that is applicable for the current request.
    • X-Rate-Limit-Remaining
    •  - the number of requests left for the current rate-limit window.
    • X-Rate-Limit-Reset
    •  - the time at which the rate limit will reset, specified in UTC epoch time.

    For example:

    HTTP/1.1 200 OK

    X-Rate-Limit-Limit: 10000

    X-Rate-Limit-Remaining: 9999

    X-Rate-Limit-Reset: 1516307596
