Custom Signals enable you to gain visibility into traffic that's specific to your application. You can create these signals either on the Custom Signals page (Configure > Custom Signals) or, more commonly, when creating or editing a Rule.

The new Custom Signals page now shows:

- The number of requests tagged with a particular signal in the past 7 days.
- The number of Rules that add that signal.
- The number of Alerts that use that signal.

This additional data makes it easier to determine whether a Custom Signal is working correctly or is no longer used by any Rules or Alerts.
