The following shows how to generate the prolexic-metrics-by-security-configs 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, traffic to origin, and FBM) by security config. Requires a securityConfigs filter. The response includes Unix timestamp and null values for unavailable data.

Business object: securityConfigs

Data available for: 90 days

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

Available metrics

Metric	Description
`startDateTime`	The event's start time.
`securityConfig`	The name of the security config.
`metric`	The traffic count metric, either `BPS` or `PPS`.
`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.
`trafficToOriginValue`	Legitimate traffic routed back to the origin infrastructure. This traffic typically follows an asymmetric return path and is subject to origin-specific routing policies.
`fbmTrafficValue`	Flow based monitoring traffic count in the format specified in the metric (`BPS` or `PPS`).

POST request

POST /reporting-api/v1/reports/metrics-by-security-configs

Sample: /reporting-api/v1/reports/prolexic-metrics-by-security-configs/versions/1/report-data?start=2025-05-26T15%3A55%3A00Z&end=2025-05-28T16%3A00%3A00Z&interval=FIVE_MINUTES

Required query parameters

Type	Sample	Description
`start`	String	`2025-05-01T00:00:00Z`	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	`2025-06-01T00:00:00Z`	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`	Specifies the time interval, one of: `FIVE_MINUTES`, `HOUR`, or `DAY`.

JSON request members

Member	Type	Description
`filters`	Array of objects	Specifies a set of custom filters, with each filter's name keying an array with each filter's set of values:`securityConfigs`, `metric`,`trafficDirection`. The response `data` includes only objects for security configs with events matching the query.
