We are pleased to announce the Limited Availability (LA) release of DataStream 2. During the beta testing period, we increased the reliability and capacity of DataStream 2, improved the UI experience, and introduced new features in response to customer feedback that will allow better control over raw access log streaming.

• Now you can choose Datadog as a destination to send and aggregate your Akamai logs.

• You can also choose Splunk as a destination to stream log files for monitoring and analyzing data.

• Set up alerts and get notifications when log files fail to upload to your destinations. This feature is available to you via the Akamai Alerts application.

• Sort log files streamed to your selected destinations by date and time. Configure folder paths and filename prefixes with Dynamic time variables and combine them with static values.

• New Data set parameters, including SSL version, SSL overhead time, Object size, Uncompressed size, Max age, Overhead bytes, and DNS lookup time.

• Improved confirmation screen, helping you enable and configure the DataStream behavior in the Property Manager application before starting to stream logs.

Now you can leverage the new flexible and stable DataStream Configuration API to create and manage stream configurations.

DataStream is now easier to find in the Akamai Control Center. It's directly available under the Common Services section in Control Center. The application has a new, more intuitive UI for better customer experience, easing the stream configuration flow.

We're happy to announce that DataStream 2 is now available for select beta customers.
