Sidebar Filter Value Validation

The value validation for the filters with corresponding error messaging was added to the sidebar report filter.

New charts and metrics in Traffic Report Two new charts in the Traffic Report showing Maximum rollup for Hits and Bytes views and corresponding metrics displayed over time.

Import/Export CP codes feature For CP code filter that displays as a list we have introduced: * Import feature - allows you to import CP code list from a CSV file.

• Export feature - allows you to export selected CP codes into a CSV file.

The CSV file format is validated and the content CP codes are cross checked with user permissions. 

Reporting display updates * Reporting and Event Center color codes were updated for respective response codes (0XX - 6XX) and aligned across all reports and Event Center.

• When you zoom the chart, only the previously shown data series are zoomed and displayed.
• Saved Reports with names exceeding the Report Name column width have tooltip with full name. The tooltip also displays full text for chosen filter settings, otherwise replaced in the table header with ellipsis.
• Tooltip for KPI/Table now presents a full unit name (Bytes, Bytes/Second, Bits, Bits/Second, Milliseconds).

Scheduled Reports updates * View and Edit options are now separated in the Scheduled Reports tables. All options are displayed according to the user’s scheduled report permissions. * Filtering in the Scheduled Reports table was enabled for Emails column.

The latest update to Reporting includes the following enhancements:

Report Families Alignment

The WebHelp “Reports overview” section is aligned with Report Families visible in the Akamai Control Center. Additionally, Report Families are now sorted alphabetically in the report dropdown, with the exception of Traffic Reports, which are on the top of the list. 

Sort CP Codes by Name

You can now sort CP codes by Name in the Report Filter section, with the Name as default sorting option.

Granularity updates * Additional titles to widgets names indicating AVERAGE report data rollup are available.  * In Scheduled Reports, a new option to CSV deliveries is available: “Deliver at lowest available time interval”. Once the option is checked, the report will be delivered at lowest possible granularity for the given report. 

Full screen display

You can display reports in the full screen mode.

We are glad to announce that based on our user feedback, we are introducing a number of improvements to our reporting interface. 

Download CSV

We’re making it easier to download datasets in CSV format by clicking the “Export CSV” icon, which you can find next to most widgets. This will download the data directly to your browser.

Sharing Filter Settings

We are allowing filter settings like CP codes and date ranges to be embedded in the URL.

API Guidance

We’re introducing a new “API calls” icon for most report widgets available for users with API access. This icon opens a modal that shows the exact API call you can use to fetch the report data that you’re seeing in the UI. We also provide a link to the relevant API documentation for more guidance, making it even easier to start integrating with our API’s.

KPI units of measure

We’ve been using scientific prefixes in some of our KPI’s, which has led to confusion in some cases (most notable, we’ve used ‘G’ for ‘Giga’, that is billion). We are switching to using the full units spelled out where possible (for example, “billion”), and will be using editorial abbreviations (for example “B”) where needed. Volumetric units like “Gigabyte” will continue to be abbreviated as current (that is “GB”).

The latest update for Traffic Reports available as part Ion and DSA includes the following features and enhancements:

• New Top Visitors report which displays hits and bytes by unique IP/user agent combinations. 

• Updated main Traffic report with a new “Cacheability” filter.  This feature allows distinguishing between cacheable and non-cacheable content across all Traffic report metrics.  

• Group filter to help narrow down CP Code selection based on groups. 

The Offload KPI on the Traffic, Today’s Traffic and URL Traffic reports has been changed from Average Offload (which represents offload offload per time interval for the selected traffic segment(s), and calculates the average across all the individual offload numbers) to Total Offload (which is calculated based on the percentage of edge requests (bytes) that were served without the need for a corresponding origin request or byte).

Customers can narrow down the CP codes by Groups options in Filter provider.

Simplified list of options in date/time picker is now available, timezone / time selection has been disabled for daily data sources.

The Today’s Traffic report now includes a table with a breakdown of per-CP Code traffic.

As part of our ongoing efforts to improve your reporting experience, we’re pleased to announce that the following traffic reports are now available in Control Center:

• Traffic

• Traffic by Geography

• Traffic by Browser & OS

• URL Traffic

• URL Responses

• Unique Visitors

• Daily Unique Visitors

• Page Views

You can access the reports via Monitor > Reporting in Control Center and under ‘Traffic Reports’ in the new Control Center.

These new reports offer a modern and personalized interface into your most important metrics and KPI’s for your delivery products. All of these reports also go paired with RESTful API access, the endpoints for which were announced in a separate release note on 24 January.

To provide better consistency between the data provided via Control Center and our RESTful API and Scheduled Reports interfaces, we’re introducing some changes to the format and composition of the data sent as part of your existing Recurring Reports. Please refer to the Scheduled Report Migration announcement for details.
