Create a stream to log Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) events generated on the Akamai platform for your security configurations and deliver logs to one of the supported third-party destinations for storage, analytics, and trend reporting.

You can log security events using the DataStream application or API along the existing SIEM API. DataStream's push model offers additional features, such as delivery retry in case of data upload failure, uploading logs to third-party destinations with custom headers and dynamic variables in filenames, mTLS authentication, and log data localization for data stored and processed within the European Union (EU). See the list of Supported features in DataStream.
