Cloud Interconnects Traffic report

The Cloud Interconnects report allows you to estimate how much of your cloud origin egress traffic is successfully sent through Private Network Interconnects (PNIs).

The Cloud Interconnects behavior maximizes traffic flow through PNIs provided by some cloud hosting providers.

The KPI sections show estimated Total Traffic, Traffic over PNIs, and percentage of Traffic using PNIs. The report presents bytes only.

📘
The report dates are in GMT. Your cloud service usage report may show dates in local time, so take this into account if comparing Akamai reported origin traffic against your cloud provider’s reporting.

Filters
Select at least one required filter in every report. For optional filters, making no selection returns all associated data for that filter.

CP code (required). Content provider (CP) codes let you segment your delivered content for tracking and reporting purposes. All CP codes have ties to one or more services, which are tracked and reported under that CP code.
Groups (optional). Groups let you narrow down your content to groups of CP codes.

Traffic report

The Traffic report provides hits, volume, bandwidth, and offload data over time for your web delivery products.

This means edge traffic (traffic from the edge servers to end users), midgress traffic (traffic between the servers), and origin traffic (traffic from your origin). You can choose to show the base metrics for the page in hits or bytes. Some filters and metrics depend on your selection.

Depending on whether the cacheability filter is enabled or not, the offload graph is yellow (for cacheable) or purple (for non cacheable) data. There is no offload for non cacheable content.

📘
The metrics show average traffic data (not peak).

URL Traffic report

The URL Traffic report delivers traffic data by URL. You can choose to view this report by hits or bytes.

Key performance indicator (KPI) results are different for URL Traffic and Traffic report. The KPIs are based on all URL data.

HTTP URL data is stored only for URLs with at least 50 hits per day. This means that URLs with less than 50 hits per day are excluded from single day reports and reports that span multiple days will under-report the traffic for some URLs. The 50 hit requirement is in place to prevent customers with a large number of distinct URLs with few hits from overwhelming the reporting systems. This requirement has an impact on data returned by report. This explains why you may observe differences between URL responses and URL traffic reports.

A cache-key is the only thing stored for a given object, post-request. This means that if the cache-key setting is set to origin hostname within an origin behavior for the CP code you're reporting on, the report will show the origin hostname rather than the end-user-requested hostname.

Origin Performance report

The Origin Performance report shows performance characteristics observed by Akamai edge servers when making requests to your origin servers. Metrics are collected as a request travels from the edge servers to your origin, and the associated response travels from your origin to the edge servers. The request/response represents an exchange between the edge servers and your origin.

Non-cacheable. Can't be stored (identified as "no-store" or have a 0 TTL) and always trigger an origin request.
Response Codes. HTTP response codes from your origin to edge servers.

Metrics

SureRoute Performance report

📘
This report will be affected by the Delivery Reports Consolidation initiative. Learn more in the Delivery Reports Consolidation guide.

SureRoute tests multiple routes between the edge server and the origin. These tests identify an optimal path for performance and establish alternative routes in cases of potential request failures.

The identified optimal path is used to improve performance with non-cacheable content. When SureRoute is enabled, edge servers request the same test object from the origin via three different routes, using the results of these occasional "races" to determine an optimal route to the origin.

The SureRoute Performance report shows the percentage of traffic traveling SureRoute's faster route. This report is based on the logs retrieved from the Akamai edge servers.

Route optimization data requires having a SureRoute test object available on your origin. If your report is not showing any data, make sure you've completed this configuration step.
If your SureRoute configuration uses custom maps, some origin hostnames may not show. In this case contact your representative to check that all origin hostnames are on your custom SureRoute map.

Keep in mind that the races to fetch the test object result in a small increase in origin traffic.

📘
SureRoute is automatically turned off for cacheable content. For the best performance you should serve it from an edge server cache and not over an origin route.

Data retention and granularity
The SureRoute Performance report is a real-time report that shows data for up to the last 10 days.

Filters
Select at least one required filter in every report. For optional filters, making no selection returns all associated data for that filter.

Minimum route optimization. The lowest percentage of requests where SureRoute provided a faster route.
Maximum route optimization. The highest percentage of requests where SureRoute provided a faster route.

Prefetching report

📘
This report will be affected by the Delivery Reports Consolidation initiative. Learn more in the Delivery Reports Consolidation guide.

Prefetching instructs the Akamai edge server to retrieve embedded HTML content (objects), such as images and scripts, from the origin before the browser requests these objects. This can significantly decrease the load time and the display time of embedded objects.

The Prefetching report provides insight into the volume of responses served by the edge and your origin server when you are using the Akamai Instant (Page Prefetching) behavior in your Akamai configuration. Responses are based on time frame, traffic segments, and traffic type.

How you choose to set up Akamai Instant and other caching rules can affect the data in this report. Cacheability attributes of objects, in particular, have specific requirements for configuration.

Data granularity and retention
The Prefetching report shows data for the last 10 days. Date ranges up to two days show five-minute data, and ranges more than two days to 14 days show hourly data.

Filters
Select at least one required filter in every report. For optional filters, making no selection returns all associated data for that filter.

Proxy Protection report

📘
This report will be affected by the Delivery Reports Consolidation initiative. Learn more in the Delivery Reports Consolidation guide.

This report shows how Akamai's Enhanced Proxy Detection (EPD) service applies proxy detection and location spoofing protection when delivering your content.
EPD uses services provided by our data provider, GeoComply to identify requests for your content that have been redirected from an unwanted source through proxy. You can then allow, deny, or redirect these requests.

Fixed categories of proxy detection

Akamai leverages GeoComply's GeoGuard product for proxy detection. GeoGuard offers multiple categories to identify various types of unwanted proxy that may be used in a request. A list of these categories is kept on GeoComply's website.

When setting up EPD in your property configuration, you can select one of two Configuration Modes:

Best Practices. This is the mode Akamai recommends. It automatically uses all of GeoGuard's primary ("must-have") categories and you set a single action to apply for all of them — "Set it, and forget it."
Advanced. This lets you pick and choose from the "must-have" and "optional" categories and you can customize individual actions for each.

Remember how you've set your Configuration Mode when reviewing report data here. It impacts how data is revealed—whether it is, or isn't displayed in some cases.

General emissions calculation disclaimer
The methodology used to calculate the carbon emissions information is believed to be accurate. However, no responsibility for either the accuracy of the information or the precision of the methodology will be assumed, and no liability for any decisions made or actions taken in reliance on the report will be accepted.

Edge emissions methodology summary
Akamai has developed a methodology to attribute Greenhouse Gas Emissions (CO2e) to units of platform capacity measured against gigabytes (GB). This methodology was applied to every edge region across the Akamai Global Intelligent Platform and rolled up by country to give a detailed analysis of emissions output based on actual customer utilization. This method can calculate emissions output per GB of traffic accounted for on the platform. This granularity provides our customers visibility into their total CO2e emissions impact using Akamai Edge services globally. The emissions calculation is in line with the following globally accepted standards:

World Resources Institute (WRI)/World Business Council for Sustainable Development (WBCSD) Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Scope 2).
WRI/WBCSD Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Value Chain (Scope 3) Accounting and Reporting Standard (Scope 3).

Carbon emissions calculator general assumptions

A 3rd party verifier has not audited data displayed in each customer's carbon calculator. Data is assumed to be accurate based on the data sources from our network, renewable energy production, and our clean data center partners. All reports are subject to change at any time.
Baseline emissions factor data includes all Akamai Global Intelligent Edge network operations. The factors include hardware operations and related facility power usage effectiveness (PUE) adhering to greenhouse gas protocol Scopes 2 and 3.
PUE is calculated using our annual colocation survey, and results are averaged across our facilities to ensure proper emissions impact is appropriately allocated.
Data for our operations globally are broken down by network region and rolled up by country to create a unique emissions factor for each individual country.
Our emissions reductions are translated for our customers to view the overall impact. These reductions include attributions from our renewable energy projects, data center partners, and other emissions reduction sources based on our market-based emissions for Scope 2 and extended network Scope 3 in each country.
All emissions measurements are shown in Carbon Emissions Equivalency (CO2e)
Akamai platform emissions factors are calculated against the most current and validated sources, including:
- US-eGRID
- Location Marginal Emissions (LME) - When applicable, US Only
- International Energy Agency (IEA)
- Australia Government Industry
- EU AIB European Residual Mix
- Canada ECCC National Inventory Report
- UK DEFRA GHG Conversion Factors
Akamai yearly emissions statement follows the ISO 14064-3 Second Edition 2019-04: Greenhouse gasses -- Part 3: Specification with guidance for the verification and validation of greenhouse gas
Network utilization totals are pulled directly from our distributed data collected (DDC) by customer to calculate Edge traffic emissions. The traffic totals are calculated by country to provide an overall emission impact by country.

Traffic by Hostname report

The Traffic by Hostname report allows you to see key traffic stats, in near real-time, by dimensions that are relatable to your business and easy to use. The report offers edge metrics by end-user-requested hostname, which is the sub.domain.com section of the URL that an end-user types into their browser, and represents the value from the Host header.

Hostname reporting lets you:

See log-based data in near real-time (5-10 minutes).
Monitor the health of your applications by hostname and status code.
Understand traffic levels by hostnames without creating extra variables.
Determine the traffic consumed by individual hostnames (for example, brands) or groups of hostnames.

End-user requested hostname is an additional dimension of the Traffic by Hostname report. While the CP code dimension is still required for authorization purposes, you can both filter and view data by hostnames in this report. Relative to hostnames, one CP code can contain multiple hostnames, or, one hostname can contain multiple CP codes. Therefore, hostnames make it easier to understand the scope of the data presented.

📘
If multiple CP codes are assigned to a given hostname and you are authorized for a subset of them, you will only be able to see data for that hostname belonging to the CP codes that you are authorized to see.

Use the Traffic by Hostname report

From the Reports menu, select the Traffic by Hostname report.
Select filters. Recommended filters are:
1. Date range. Click the date picker icon to adjust the date and time.
2. Group and Property. These are parent filters for both hostnames and CP codes.
3. Top Hostnames. You can see up to 20,000 hostnames by the hits in the last ten days. The list includes only hostnames that had at least two hits per 5 minutes, over the last 10 days. The hostname list filters results starting from hostnames with the most hits. Select specific hostnames you want to see data for. Enter keywords that match your search criteria to narrow your search.
4. CP codes (required filter). Use the CP code filter to get a part of the traffic on a given hostname. If you select hostnames first, corresponding CP codes are selected automatically. You can use a regex filter or not filter by hostnames at all, and the report will still return data as long as CP codes are selected.
5. Hostnames. You can narrow down results by using a regex filter or select a hostname that is not visible in the top 20,000 hostnames. The following match criteria apply: Contains, Starts with, Ends with, Does not contain, Does not start with, Does not end with, Match a regular expression, Does not match a regular expression, or Is an exact match). You can then add a Hostname pattern to match.
6. If applicable, select other filters to meaningfully limit the report data. See the Filters section for more information.
Click Apply.
The report loads with the following widgets (example given for Hits tab):
- Average rollup (edge hits per second).
- Maximum rollup (Edge hits).
- Maximum rollup (Top hostnames edge hits).
- Edge hits by hostname.
- Average rollup (Edge hits per second by response class).
- Edge hits by response class.
- Edge hits by response.
- Edge hits per second by time and HTTP version.
- Edge hits by HTTP version.
- Traffic segments by CP code.
  Edge traffic by hostname tables are limited in the UI to the top 5000 results. The API enables you to retrieve the top 25000 hostnames for a given selection. If you have more than 25000 hostnames, you can make multiple calls with different filters to access all of the hostnames.
To see results for a higher number of hostnames, access the widget data through API calls:
1. Click the API calls icon next to the widget.
2. Copy the API call into your API tool and run.
  For general information on how the reporting API works, see Reporting API.

Key callouts and best practices

Completeness

Completeness is defined as the percentage of logs that have been processed system-wide within a given latency. The completeness is at least at 95% within 5-10 minutes, but is not guaranteed to reach 99%.

📘
With 95% completeness, the Traffic by Hostname report should be treated as incomplete monitoring information and should not be expected to match the Traffic report or Billing invoices. Furthermore, use of Hostname data to generate financial information should acknowledge the incomplete nature of the report.

Hostname hits threshold

The Hostname report and API includes hostnames with at least two hits in any 5-minute period. After 7 days, hostnames with only one hit in any 5-minute period are aggregated into the bucket "Others", and this will appear in the hits / bytes by hostname table.

Retention

The hostname report has a retention period of 92 days, from the start of data collection. Data is available from October 7, 2022.

Hostname filter

Both UI and API currently limit the list of hostnames in the hostname filter to 20,000 objects for the last ten days, only including hostnames with at least 2 hits.

In both the UI and the API, it is not recommended to use filters to get the majority or all of the hostname data. For example, with *.com.

Data by hostname

In the UI, the Edge hits/bytes by hostname tables are limited to the top 5000 hostnames (sorted in descending order by hits or bytes). This limit is 25000 hostnames for API requests. Pagination of API results is not yet available.

New hostnames and CP codes

Being able to see data for new hostnames that have been recently added to delivery configurations depends on the CP code assigned. If an existing CP code has been assigned, data should be visible in the Traffic by Hostname report within 5-10 minutes after traffic occurred. If a new CP code is assigned, it may take up to 6 hours for data to appear while the processing system picks up an updated list of CP codes.

API rate limiting

The Hostname report API will be rate-limited at 120 requests/min per account per endpoint.

China CDN traffic

The China CDN traffic is only visible on source CP codes. China CDN specific CP codes - CP Codes that are paired with source CP codes in the CP code configuration - will not show traffic.

Best practices for retrieving hostname monitoring data

Retrieve monitoring data only for the latest few time buckets.
For monitoring the health of delivery at the Edge, only data for the most recent few time buckets is sufficient. As the Traffic by Hostname data is populated in near-real time, the metrics for the older buckets are not expected to be updated. For monitoring the health of digital properties, you are encouraged to query only the last 30 minutes of data or less.
Avoid repeated calls to retrieve the same reporting data.
The performance of the API or reporting system is affected by the amount of data retrieved from the data store for populating the reports. In cases where you expect to make multiple scans of the same data for analysis, we recommended that you retrieve the data once from the report API, store it in a staging database and analyze further. This approach will ensure good performance of the hostname reporting system.
