I just checked my Appwrite console and found massive traffic on my server, which is really unusual.

I have only one client right now, and even if he is using and I am developing, there shouldn't be more than 300 to 500 requests. How can I see where this traffic came from? I want to check if this is a DDoS attack and take the necessary steps to prevent it in the future.

Although my site is working just fine, nothing happened except for this burst of traffic.

Any advice? also how can i check the traffic source, couldn't find any way to figure out the details about where this traffic is coming from.

TL;DR
Massive traffic spike on server, possibly DDoS attack. Developer needs to investigate traffic source to prevent future attacks. Check server logs or use monitoring tools for more details.
