# Frequency Distribution

Frequency Distribution shows how often each unique value appears within the selected audit logs.

It groups audit logs by the selected field and counts the number of occurrences for each value, making it easy to understand the composition of your data and identify the most and least frequent values.

Examples:

* Distribution of HTTP status codes
* Distribution of customer segments
* Distribution of decision outcomes
* Distribution of rule aliases
* Distribution of users or API keys

This visualization is useful for:

* Identifying the most common values
* Detecting outliers or unexpected values
* Understanding the overall composition of audit data
* Comparing how values are distributed across different datasets or time periods

{% hint style="info" %}
**Visualization Limitation**

When more than **10,000** audit logs match the selected filters, statistics are calculated from a sampled subset of records to maintain performance. The sample is intended to be representative but may not perfectly reflect the full dataset.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Export Limitation**

Exports use the same sampled dataset as the visualization, so exported results reflect the same limitation of **10,000**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.decisionrules.io/doc/intelligence/statistics/frequency-distribution.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
