The following shows how to generate the prolexic-metrics-by-scrubbing-centers 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

Provides metrics data (pre/post-mitigation) by scrubbing center. It requires a scrubbingCenters filter, with metric defaulted to BPS. The response includes Unix timestamp and N/A values for unavailable data.

Business object: scrubbingCenters

Data available for: 90 days

Required products: Prolexic Routed, Prolexic over ADC, Prolexic Connect, Prolexic IP Protect

Available metrics

Metric	Description
`startDateTime`	The report's start time in ISO 8601 format using UTC time.
`scrubbingCenter`	The traffic mitigation scrubbing center.
`preMitigationTrafficValue`	All inbound traffic — both legitimate and malicious, that enters the Akamai Prolexic platform from the internet via anycast, before reaching the nearest scrubbing center.
`postMitigationTrafficValue`	Traffic after initial mitigation has been applied – includes both the filtered attack traffic and the remaining clean traffic as it transits within Akamai towards the origin.

POST request

POST /reporting-api/v1/reports/metrics-by-scrubbing-centers

Sample: /reporting-api/v1/reports/prolexic-metrics-by-scrubbing-centers/versions/1/report-data?start=2025-05-26T15%3A45%3A00Z&end=2025-05-28T15%3A50%3A00Z&interval=FIVE_MINUTES

`interval`	Enumeration	`FIVE_MINUTES`	Specifies the time interval, one of: `FIVE_MINUTES`, `HOUR`, or `DAY`.

JSON request members

Member	Type	Description
`objectType`	String	Specifies the business object for the report.
`filters`	Object	Specifies a set of custom filters, with each filter's name keying an array with each filter's set of values: `metric, scrubbingCenters, securityConfigs`. The response data includes only objects with metrics matching the query.
`metrics`	Array	The set of desired metrics. If omitted, the report includes all available metrics.
