Akamai Cloud Pulse Logs is a log delivery service that enables you to collect log data from multiple Akamai Cloud services and deliver it to the destination of your choice. The current release is focused on audit logs that capture control plan operations, recording user and system events across your cloud environment. These events are collected, structured in JSON format, and delivered to the configured destination.

You can configure logs streams using Cloud Manager or the Linode API. The Logs guide provides information to help get started with log delivery. The relevant API operations are listed below.

Features

• Real-Time Log Delivery. Stream audit logs directly to your Object Storage for immediate access and for integration into observability tools such as Splunk, Datadog, or Prometheus.
