Reporting metrics (ACE)

Here you'll find a list of the metrics available for use with the various reports dashboards for ​Akamai​ Cloud Embed (ACE—formerly "Wholesale Delivery").

Where can I use these?

All of the widgets revealed in a report's tab use one or more of these metrics by default. However, some of the widgets let you view custom data via the Analyze data (IMAGE_STUB) functionality, and you can add or remove metrics. See Analyze data shown in a report for full details.

The metrics

📘

The metric name can differ slightly between the PORTAL_NAME_INITIAL interface and the Media Delivery Reports API v1. Both values are listed in the table that follows. You can also run the List Akamai Cloud Embed data stores operation in the API and review idinformation for each metric in the response.

Edge HitsSame4 All hits to the Edge-servers from the end-users.N/A
Edge ThroughputN/A*Not available in the API*Rate of successful delivery of media from the Edge server. It is calculated as the total bytes delivered divided by the total time taken by ghost to serve the request. Values provided in Mbps.N/A
Edge VolumeSame44 Total bytes transferred from the Edge to the end user. Overhead bytes (See below) are included. Values provided in GB.N/A
Origin VolumeN/A*Not available in the API*Total bytes sent by the origin in response to requests from the <> CDN.This is only available at the subcustomer ID level. It's not available for the subcustomer domain.
Origin HitsSame30 Total hits or requests made from the <> CDN to origin.This is only available at the subcustomer ID level. It's not available for the subcustomer domain.

Origin OffloadSame122 Percentage of bytes delivered from the Edge servers as compared to the bytes delivered from your origin.This is only available at the subcustomer ID level. It's not available for the subcustomer domain.
Other HitsN/A*Not available in the API*When a response code received doesn't fall within the codes 2xx to 5xx, it is an other hit.N/A
Total Download TimeN/A*Not available in the API*Also referred to as "Throughput," this is the rate of successful delivery of content from the edge server. It's calculated as the total bytes delivered divided by the total time taken by <> servers to serve the request. Values are provided in Mbps.N/A
Ingress Hits119 Total ingress hits. Origin or Ingress hits are for traffic from your origin to Akamai edge servers.
Ingress Bytes120 Total ingress response bytes delivered from server to browser. It includes ingress (or origin) traffic.
Ingress Req Bytes121 Total ingress response bytes delivered from server to browser. It includes ingress (or origin) traffic.
