ACE - Realtime reports
These reports let you analyze the delivery of your cloud hosted content, at near real-time latencies (approximately 10 minutes).
What parameters are available with these reports?
The ACE Realtime reports dashboards uses specific parameters in the form of metrics and dimensions.
How do I access these reports in Akamai Control Center?
-
Select the appropriate Akamai Control Center Account. Use the top-right pull-down in the header to select the account.
-
Open the application. Go to ☰ > MEDIA > Media delivery reports, and then select Akamai Cloud Embed > Realtime** from the menu.
-
Pick a "tab" to review desired reports data.
The Traffic tab (ACE - Realtime)
These reports provide near real-time information on the overall number of hits and volume transferred, as well as traffic per individual subcustomer ID and domain. All of this within a latency of 10 minutes.
Start by setting up a filter
Use the Filters panel to customize your report. You can set these options:
If you've already set filters for another report's tab in the Akamai Cloud Embed - Realtime reports, those filters are automatically applied when you access this tab. If this tab doesn't support one or more of those filters, you'll receive a message.
-
Date Range (Required)*. Click the date range field and determine a range of time you want for report data. See Set the date/time range for a report for more information. The intention of this report is to gather recent, near real-time data. (You can access data as far back as 21 hours from the current time.) Based on your active timezone, it may appear as if you can also select tomorrow's date. This is because data is gathered using the UTC timezone. If you select outside of the this time range, an error message is revealed, requesting that you adjust the Start Time and End Time to sync with your applicable time zone. If you need a broader range of historic data, try the The Traffic tab (ACE - Historical).
-
CP Code (Required)*. A content provider (CP) code is a unique identifier we assign to you for reporting, billing, and monitoring traffic served over the Akamai network. Someone in your organization assigns a friendly name to a CP code when it's created—either via a tool in Akamai Control Center or an API, or with the help of your Akamai account representative. Click each desired CP code to include in the filter or, if you know the name or number of the desired CP code, type it in the Filter field to refine the results. You can also click All to include every CP code.
-
Sub Customer Domain. Use this to filter report data on a specific subcustomer domain name. Use the accompanying drop-down to apply the desired argument for filtering. For example, set this to Starts With and input mydomain to include only report data for Subcustomer domains that begin with that value.
-
Sub Customer ID. Use this to filter report data on a specific ID value you've established for your subcustomers. Use the accompanying drop-down to apply the desired argument for filtering. For example, set this to Not Contains and input football_plays to ensure that the subcustomer whose ID is "football_plays" is left out of report data.
The widgets
Each individual content panel in the reporting tabs is referred to as a "widget." Several widgets make up your report in this tab.
| Widget | Description |
|---|---|
| Total Hits | This displays information on the total number of hits—successful and error—per second to edge servers to access content, over the time range specified. (This widget also displays the overall totals.) |
| Total Volume | This displays the total bandwidth usage for all requests (hits)—succesful and error—from all edge servers, over the time range specified. (This widget also displays the overall totals for these three values.) |
| Summary by Sub Customer Id | This displays information on end user access for content, on a per-ACE subcustomer ID basis. (End users request access to content via a subcustomer policy, and each policy is assigned a unique subcustomer ID.)
|
| Summary by Sub Customer Domain | This displays information on end user access for content, on a per-ACE subcustomer domain basis. (End users request access to content via a subcustomer domain that's been associated with the subcustomer policy that determines how to distribute content.)

The Availability tab (ACE - Realtime)
These reports provide historic details on responses at the Akamai edge based on subcustomer ID and domain, within a latency of 10 minutes.

| Widget | Description |
|---|---|
| Edge Responses | The total count for each response code that was returned for hits to edge servers, over the time specified. |
| Edge Responses by Sub Customer Id | This widget displays the count of response codes returned after edge hits (as above), but data is based on end user access requests tied to a specific "subcustomer ID." (End users request access to content via a subcustomer domain that's been associated with a subcustomer policy that dictates how content is delivered. Each policy is assigned a unique subcustomer ID.) |
| Edge Responses by Sub Customer Domain | Same as above, but data is based on end user access requests to the Edge from the specific "subcustomer domain." (End users request access to content via a subcustomer domain that's been associated with the subcustomer policy that dictates how content is delivered.) |
