The following shows how to generate the flashlivetraffic-by-time report using either the Reporting API's Generate a report POST operation or the Get a cacheable report GET operation. Details about each report's supported products, metrics, filters, and available data intervals are also available dynamically by running the API's Get a report type operation, also shown below. See also other available reports.

Report definition

Returns estimated traffic data for traditional Flash Live streams. Applies to traffic tracked by the Event Center.

This report allows you to configure the aggregation interval for each data record. Available interval values are: MONTH, WEEK, DAY, HOUR, FIVE_MINUTES.

Business object: cpcode

Data available for: 90 days

Required products: Event Center

Available metrics

Metric	Description
Data metrics
`edgeBitsPerSecond`	The edge bandwidth for given objects and filters.
`edgeHitsPerSecond`	The number of edge requests per second for given objects and filters.
`viewers`	The estimated number of concurrent viewers for given objects and filters.
Summary metrics
`edgeBitsPerSecondMax`	The peak edge bandwidth for given objects and filters.
`edgeBytesTotal`	The total volume of edge traffic for given objects and filters.
`edgeHitsPerSecondMax`	The peak number of edge requests per second for given objects and filters.
`edgeHitsTotal`	The total number of edge requests for given objects and filters.
`viewersMax`	The peak estimated number of concurrent viewers for given objects and filters.

Available filters

Filter	Type	Description
Optional filters
`stream_port`	String	The name or ID of the stream. In order to filter by stream ID only, provide the regular expression $s*12345$, where 12345 is the stream ID. It's also possible to provide full stream name in the filter (for example, event_show@9). This consists of the name you chose for the stream, followed by the unique stream ID, the latter of which is pre-appended with a letter s if Secure Streaming is enabled. Note that in case of dynamic/MBR streams, you need to provide Published Stream Name (the one used while publishing from the encoder).

POST request

POST /reporting-api/v1/reports/flashlivetraffic-by-time/versions/1/report-data{?start,end,interval}

Sample: /reporting-api/v1/reports/flashlivetraffic-by-time/versions/1/report-data?start=2020-06-26T13%3A40%3A00Z&end=2020-06-26T14%3A00%3A00Z&interval=FIVE_MINUTES

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`start`	String	`2022-06-23T13:55:00Z`	Specifies the start of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report includes data that matches the `start` value’s timestamp.
`end`	String	`2022-06-23T14:15:00Z`	Specifies the end of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report excludes any data that matches the `end` value’s timestamp.
`interval`	Enumeration	`FIVE_MINUTES`	The duration of each data record. Available values: `MONTH`, `WEEK`, `DAY`, `HOUR`, `FIVE_MINUTES`.

JSON request members

Member	Type	Description
`objectIds`	Array	Specifies the set of `cpcode` values you want to report on.
`objectIds`	Enumeration	As an alternative to an array of ID values, specify `all` as a string for unfiltered data. Either way, `objectIds` is required.
`metrics`	Array	The set of desired metrics. If omitted, the report includes all available metrics.
`filters`	Map of Arrays	Specifies a set of custom filters, with each filter's name keying an array with each filter's set of values.

Request body:

{
    "objectIds": [
        "55232",
        "23433",
        "32433"
    ],

            "7781",
            "7782"
        ]
    }
}

GET request

GET /reporting-api/v1/reports/flashlivetraffic-by-time/versions/1/report-data{?start,end,interval,objectIds,allObjectIds,metrics,filters}

Sample: /reporting-api/v1/reports/flashlivetraffic-by-time/versions/1/report-data?start=2020-06-26T13%3A40%3A00Z&end=2020-06-26T14%3A00%3A00Z&interval=FIVE_MINUTES&objectIds=55232,23433,32433&metrics=edgeBitsPerSecond%2CedgeBitsPerSecondMax&filters=stream_port%3D7782%2Cstream_port%3D7783

Query parameters

Parameter	Type	Sample	Description
Required
`start`	String	`2022-06-23T13:55:00Z`	Specifies the start of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report includes data that matches the `start` value’s timestamp.
`end`	String	`2022-06-23T14:15:00Z`	Specifies the end of the reported period as an ISO-8601 timestamp with optional time zone. The report excludes any data that matches the `end` value’s timestamp.
`interval`	Enumeration	`FIVE_MINUTES`	The duration of each data record. Available values: `MONTH`, `WEEK`, `DAY`, `HOUR`, `FIVE_MINUTES`.
Optional
`allObjectIds`	Boolean	`true`	As an alternative to `objectIds`, enabling this generates a report that includes all IDs available for the `cpcode` objectType. This parameter is ignored if the request also specifies a set of objectIds.
`objectIds`	String	`55232,23433,32433`	As an alternative to `allObjectIds`, specifies the set of unique IDs for the `cpcode` objectType you want to report on, formatted as a comma-delimited list.
`metrics`	String	`edgeBitsPerSecond,edgeBitsPerSecondMax`	Specifies a comma-separated list of metrics to include in the report, otherwise all metrics if omitted. The set of available metrics depends on the type of report. URL-encode the entire value in the GET request.
`filters`	String	`stream_port=7782,stream_port=7783`	Specifies criteria to filter the report's data. The set of available filters depends on the type of report. Separate each filter name and value with an equals (`=`) character, and separate various name/value pairs with commas (`,`). To specify more than one filter value, repeat the filter name. See the accompanying example for guidance. URL-encode the entire value in the GET request.
