# View statistics

There are statistics available for the load balancer.

***

## View statistics using the control panel

Under the **Statistics** tab, you can view the number of connections to the load balancer in a graph. The maximum number of connections you set is also displayed as a red line.

## View statistics using the API

It's possible to extract the current number of connections and the maximum number of allowed connections using the [API](/platform/control-panel/api.md). Use the [loadbalancer/details](https://github.com/GleSYS/API-docs/wiki/API-Documentation#loadbalancerdetails) endpoint to extract the information. The key `currentsessions` contains the number of current connections, and `maxconnections` contains the maximum number of allowed connections.

For example, by using cURL you can extract all the data in XML format:

{% code title="Command" %}

```
curl -s -X POST --data-urlencode "loadbalancerid=lb1234567" -k --basic -u CL123456:KEY https://api.glesys.com/loadbalancer/details/
```

{% endcode %}

Or, if you prefer JSON format:

{% code title="Command" %}

```
curl -s -X POST --data-urlencode "loadbalancerid=lb1234567" -k --basic -u CL123456:KEY https://api.glesys.com/loadbalancer/details/format/json
```

{% endcode %}

You can then use `jq` to select the first load balancer's `currentsessions`.

```
curl -s -X POST --data-urlencode "loadbalancerid=lb1234567" -k --basic -u CL123456:KEY https://api.glesys.com/loadbalancer/details/format/json | jq '.response.loadbalancer.frontends[0].currentsessions'
```
