How to use reports
Access
You can access reports from the main menu. Select Your services> COMMON SERVICES> Traffic reports.
You can also access reports from the Akamai Control Center homepage, by clicking Reporting card. This card offers a quick view into your Today's traffic metrics: edge, origin and midgress hits, and offload. The card links to the full Today's Traffic report and to the new Reporting overview page.
Expand the Reporting card and click Go to Reporting overview.
From the Reporting overview page you can access your reports and common services. The reports are grouped under the following categories: Cross-Product, Web Performance, Media Delivery and Media Security. You can filter some reports by metrics and dimensions (for example, Country or Response Code).
Find a report type
Reports are available based on the services you use and your permissions in Control Center. All reports that fit these criteria are available in the Reports menu.
In the Report field, enter any text.
Reports that match the text appear in the menu. For example, if you want a report on an image optimization service, you can enter the word image
and find the Adaptive Image Compression report.
You can also just scroll through the entire list of reports.
