# Work with GTM reports

GTM reports retrieve information from live data feeds throughout the extensive global network of servers to provide reporting about web site traffic served by ​Akamai​. You can create these reports in ​Akamai Control Center​.

Alternatively, you can monitor traffic programmatically using the [Global Traffic Management Reporting API](https://techdocs.akamai.com/gtm-reporting/reference/api). This API provides reports on GTM's real time statistics. Each call allows you to view traffic, liveness, direct demand, load feedback, and latency on datacenters and properties.

# GTM Reports

This table describes the Global Traffic Management reports that are available on ​Control Center​.
