Activity Heat Maps Panel
The Activity Heat Maps panel displays the HTTPS Requests Overview heat map. The heat map is plotted based on days (X-axis) and hours (Y-axis). The count of the activities is computed based on the average of several activities. The color codes displayed for the activities vary as it is dynamic.

For example, on a particular day on the 23rd hour if the activity is high then the dark blue color code is displayed on the heat map.
