The URLs tab (FD)
The URLs report for File Downloads (FD) allows you to review historical data for your most active ("top") URLs, based on one or more Content Provider (CP) codes and a range of time you specify. Data is gathered on a daily basis.
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 File Download - Historical 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. You can also set a Timezone for this report. However, certain time zones may not work with this report because data is collected on an hourly basis using the UTC time zone.
-
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.
-
Delivery Options. Select the traffic security level—Non Secure Traffic for non-secure traffic delivered via HTTP, Secure Traffic for all secure traffic delivered via HTTPS, including Standard TLS certificate, Enhanced TLS certificate, and the Akamai shared certificate, or All Traffic for all security levels.
-
URL. Use these fields to customize report data to specific URL parameters. For example, set this to "Contains" and input a segment of a specific URL (https://myvideos/sports) to have report data displayed for all URLs that contain that segment.
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. Here's an example of the "Top URLs, By Volume" widget in the URLs tab:
