Janos,
I just took a quick look at the code and the documentation is incorrect. If the connection is closed due to a rate limiting policy the status code in the request log will be set to 429 and not -1.
Thanks.

Hello Scott,
Well I try to reproduce this in our test environment. I never get status code "-1" but got status code "429". Is this the right status code to search for rate limit usage?
Why IBM documentations says status code "-1"?

Janos,
The rate limiting capability does not provide any out-of-the-box statistics which you could use. About the only thing which you could do would be to ensure that the client IP address is included in the request log, and then perform some correlation of the entries in the request log, searching for a status code of '-1' (as per the documentation which you referenced).
I hope that this helps.

Dear All,
We are using rate limit option / configuration and now would like to have some statistic about blocked login attempts. I have found this https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/sva/9.0.6?topic=limiting-rate-request-log-entries , but didn't find any detailed information a LOG entry.
So our goal to have a statistic like from this IP we blocked this user. Is this somehow possible?
