Detailed Real-Time Statistics

Applies To:

HTTP LargeThis platform has been optimized to cache and deliver static content (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ISO, multimedia, and software downloads, etc.) over HTTP or HTTPS.

HTTP SmallLegacy. If you are currently serving traffic over this platform, then you may continue to do so. However, we recommend that you serve your traffic over our more robust HTTP Large platform.

ADNThe Application Delivery Network platform has been optimized to deliver dynamic content (e.g., login credentials, account information, etc.) over HTTP or HTTPS. Typically, user-specific and database-driven content are served over this platform.

AnalyticsThis product provides a variety of reports that range from basic CDN usage statistics to real-time data to in-depth trend analysis on key metrics. This suite consists of the following modules: Core, Custom, Advanced Content Analytics, Real-Time Statistics, and Edge Performance Analytics. - Real-Time Statistics

View detailed real-time statistics for a specific HTTP-based platform by clicking on it from the side navigation tab. The following types of real-time statistics will be shown:

Bandwidth
Status Codes
Cache Statuses
Connections

Life Span

The above graphs display real-time statistics for a set time period. A sliding window of data is displayed once the specified time has passed. This means that old data will be removed from the graph to make room for new data. Set the length of time for this sliding window via the Time span of graphs option.

Filters

Use the Filtering Options option to apply one of the following filters:

Filter	Description
CNAME	Filters all graphs for requests that point to the selected edge CNAME. Real-time statistics will only be provided when custom reports has been enabled on the selected edge CNAME. Learn more.
POP	Filters all graphs for requests that were processed by the selected POP. View a list of POPs and their locations.
Country	Filters all graphs for requests that were processed by a POP in the selected country.

POP

Filters all graphs for requests that were processed by the selected POP.

View a list of POPs and their locations.

Country

Filters all graphs for requests that were processed by a POP in the selected country.

Only a single filter may be applied to these graphs at any given time.

Bandwidth

The Bandwidth graph displays bandwidth usage for the current platform over a specified period of time. The shaded portion of the graph indicates bandwidth usage. The exact amount of bandwidth currently being used is displayed directly below the line graph.

The units used by to report bandwidth usage are one of the following: bits per second (b/s), Kilobits per second (Kb/s), Megabits per second (Mb/s), or Gigabits per second (Gb/s).

Status Codes

The Status Codes graph consists of color-coded lines that indicate how often HTTP response codes are occurring over a specified period of time. The left side of the graph (y-axis) indicates how often a status code is returned for requests, while the bottom of the graph (x-axis) indicates the progression of time.

A list of status codes is displayed directly above the graph. This list indicates each status code that can be included in the line graph and the current number of occurrences per second for that status code. By default, a line is displayed for each of these status codes in the graph. However, you can choose to only monitor the status codes that have special significance for your CDN configuration. This can be accomplished by only marking the desired status code options and clearing all other options. After you are satisfied with the status codes that will be displayed in the graph, you should click Refresh Graph. This will prevent the cleared status codes from being included in the graph.

The Refresh Graph option will clear the graph. After which, it will only display the selected status codes.

Each status code option is described below.

Name	Description
Total Hits per second	Determines whether the total number of requests per second for the current platform will be displayed in the graph. Use this option as a baseline indicator to see the percentage of total hits that a particular status code comprises.
2xx per second	Determines whether the total number of 2xx status codes (e.g., 200, 201, 202, etc.) that occur per second for the current platform will be displayed in the graph. This type of status code indicates that the request was successfully delivered to the client.
304 per second	Determines whether the total number of 304 status codes that occur per second for the current platform will be displayed in the graph. This status code indicates that the requested asset has not been modified since it was last retrieved by the HTTP client.
3xx per second	Determines whether the total number of 3xx status codes (e.g., 300, 301, 302, etc.) that occur per second for the current platform will be displayed in the graph. This type of status code indicates that the request resulted in a redirection.
403 per second	Determines whether the total number of 403 status codes that occur per second for the current platform will be displayed in the graph. This status code indicates that the request was deemed unauthorized. One possible cause for this status code is when an unauthorized user requests an asset protected by Token-Based Authentication.
404 per second	Determines whether the total number of 404 status codes that occur per second for the current platform will be displayed in the graph. This status code indicates that the requested asset could not be found.
4xx per second	Determines whether the total number of 4xx status codes (e.g., 400, 401, 402, 405, etc.) that occur per second for the current platform will be displayed in the graph. This status code indicates that the requested asset was not delivered to the client.
5xx per second	Determines whether the total number of 5xx status codes (e.g., 500, 501, 502, etc.) that occur per second for the current platform will be displayed in the graph.
Other per second	Determines whether the total occurrences for all other status codes will be reported in the graph.

Logged data for a particular status code may be temporarily hidden by clearing the corresponding option from the area directly below the graph. The selected status code will be immediately hidden from the graph. Marking that status code option will cause that option to be displayed again.

The color-coded options directly below the graph only affect what is displayed in the graph. It does not affect whether the graph will keep track of that status code.

Cache Statuses

The Cache Statuses graph consists of color-coded lines that indicate how often certain types of cache statuses are occurring over a specified period of time. The left side of the graph (y-axis) indicates how often a cache status is returned for requests, while the bottom of the graph (x-axis) indicates the progression of time.

Learn more about cache status codes.

A list of cache statuses is displayed directly above the graph. This list indicates each cache status that can be included in the line graph and the current number of occurrences per second for that cache status. By default, a line is displayed for each of these cache statuses in the graph. However, you can choose to only monitor the cache statuses that have special significance for your CDN configuration. This can be accomplished by only marking the desired cache status options and clearing all other options. After you are satisfied with the cache statuses that will be displayed in the graph, you should click Refresh Graph. This will prevent the cleared status codes from being included in the graph.

The Refresh Graph option will clear the graph. After which, it will only display the selected cache statuses.

Logged data for a particular response code may be temporarily hidden by clearing the corresponding option from the area directly below the graph. The selected response code will be immediately hidden from the graph. Marking that response code option will cause that option to be displayed again.

The color-coded options directly below the graph only affect what is displayed in the graph. It does not affect whether the graph will keep track of that status code.

Connections

This line graph reports the average number of new connections per second to a specific delivery platform (i.e., HTTP Large, HTTP Small, or ADN).

Key information:

By default, this line graph contains approximately 5 minutes worth of data. Customize this window through the Time span of graphs option at the top of the page.
Data on the number of new connections is plotted at regular intervals (e.g., five seconds when the graph's time span is 5 minutes). Data older than the time span defined in the Time span of graphs option will be removed from the graph to make room for newer data.
A user agent's (e.g., web browser) initial request for content will always establish a connection. After which, the user agent determines whether future requests within that session will reuse that connection or whether new connections will be established.
This statistic is calculated using the following two steps:
1. Each edge server calculates the number of new connections per second over the course of a minute.
2. This data is collected from all edge servers and then averaged.
