The legacy delivery reports are being discontinued
These reports are deprecated and will be deactivated on May 14, 2025. As an alternative, use DataStream 2.
These reports provide information for legacy delivery products, including File Downloads/HTTP Downloads (FD), HTTP Content Delivery (HCD), and Object Caching (OC):
- HTTP Content Delivery Reports. Provide report services for the HTTP Content Delivery service, including traffic information. List HTTP Content Delivery dimensions.
- HTTP Downloads/File Downloads Reports. Provide an analysis of file transfers performed through the HTTP Downloads (File Downloads) application. List HTTP Downloads/File Downloads dimensions.
- Object Caching Reports. Offer data regarding the objects and the total amount of data held in the Akamai edge cache. List Object Caching dimensions.
