Summary tab (MSL 4)

This dashboard shows you summarized information on quality and availability for both accelerated and non-accelerated streams.

Set filters for report results

To generate report data for viewing, use the Filters panel to set your filters.

📘

If you've already set filters for another report's dashboard in the Media Services Live 4 - Realtime reports, those filters are automatically applied when you access this dashboard. If this dashboard doesn't support one or more of those filters, you'll get this message:

  • Date Range. Click the Date Range field and set a range of time for the report data. Certain widgets in this report only use the most recent two-minute aggregate data when displaying information. For example, if you set the start date to 6/18/2019 and the end date to 6/21/2019, with a start time of 6:00 and an end time of 9:00, the widget displays Data shown below - From 08:55 to 09:00 on June 21 2019. Only data from that period is used. For more information, see Set the date/time range for a report.
  • CP Code. A unique identifier we assign to you for reporting, billing, and monitoring traffic served over ​Akamai​'s network. When creating an MSL configuration to distribute live content, you do so for a specific CP code. Select or deselect the CP codes to include in the filter. If you know the name, or number of the desired CP code, enter it in the Filter field to refine the results.

  • Unique End Point (optional). Enter the path to a unique end point you use to filter widget data specifically to that end point.

What you see in the widgets

Each individual content panel in these reports is referred to as a widget. Data for each of these widgets are provided for metrics at a two-minute aggregation:

WidgetDescription

Active Streams, Avg Bitrate, Ingest Hits, Error Rate

These show an overall percentage or count for all of these metrics, for the specified range of time.

Active Streams

This widget displays various data for each active stream, within the two-minute aggregation period. Default metrics for this widget include:

  • Stream ID. The unique identifier ​Akamai​ assigns to the MSL 4 stream.
  • Unique End Point. URL path after the Stream ID in the ingest URL. This indicates the bit rate of the stream.
  • CP Code. The unique identifier assigned to a contract associated with a particular stream.
  • File Extension. File type.
  • Encoder IP. The IP address of encoder generating the stream.
  • Stream Type. The type of stream, either Primary or Backup.
  • Entry Point. The IP address of the Entry Point from which the stream was ingested.
  • Average Bitrate. The average bit rate of the stream. Data in this table is default sorted on this column.
  • Error Rate. The rate of errors occurring in a unit of time, expressed as a percentage.

Average Bitrate

The average amount of data transferred over the specified range of time. Default metrics for this widget include:

  • Current Day and Time
  • Stream ID
  • Entry Point Switch Time
  • Old Entry Point
  • New Entry Point
  • Stream Type

HTTP Response Time

The percentage of errors over the specified range of time. This uses the same default metrics as the Average Bitrate widget.

HTTP Response by CP code

The total number of ingest hits, as well as the total number of each response code received at the entry point for each CP code, for the specified range of time. This uses the same default metrics as the Average Bitrate widget.

HTTP Response by Stream ID

The total number of ingest hits, as well as the total number of each response code received at the entry point for each Stream ID, for the specified range of time. A 429 error indicates a rate limit breach. A 413 error indicates the segment exceeds the maximum size allowed. For additional details on error codes, refer to the Encoder Qualification Guide.
