DataStream 2 Limited Availability release

We are pleased to announce the Limited Availability (LA) release of DataStream 2. During the beta testing period, we increased the reliability and capacity of DataStream 2, improved the UI experience, and introduced new features in response to customer feedback that will allow better control over raw access log streaming.

DataStream 2 uses Akamai’s globally distributed network of servers to capture performance logs at the edge. This allows you to monitor the CDN performance and health to gather valuable insights that let you boost digital experience for your users. Please contact your Akamai representative about migration possibilities.

Other updates:

• The Splunk connector supports raw event endpoints. See the DataStream 2 User Guide for details.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed an Application Load Balancer (ALB) issue, which prevented reaching the correct origin configuration in the Property. Initially, this issue was not seen in the staging environment, but it was found in production.

March 2021 Release Notes

• All event handlers now support HTTP sub-requests. 
• A getHeaders() method is now available for the Request Object in the responseProvider() event handler. A getHeaders() method is also available for the httpResponse Object.
• We added an FAQs section to answer commonly asked questions about EdgeWorkers.
• We added Best practices for performance to help you maximize the performance of your custom JavaScript code.
• You can now deactivate an EdgeWorker version. The deactivation history of an EdgeWorker version is also available.
• When activating an EdgeKV-enabled EdgeWorkers code bundle the EdgeKV files are now validated. We’ve added error messages that describe which files or tokens are missing, invalid, or expired.

New Features

• Included Properties Activated with Policy section into the Shared Policy details. A user will be able to view all the properties that activated this policy from the policy details page. 
• New endpoints are added for Cloudlets API v3: 
  • GET /cloudlets/v3/cloudlet-info. Returns a list of cloudlets.
  • GET /policies/{id}/properties. Returns a list of properties that are activated with their reference policies.

Enhancement

• Cloudlets policy is sorted by the Last Activity (default). This places the policies that were modified last on the top of the list.
• Added a Beta label next to the Unused Rules under Reporting > Edge Redirector Reporting. Please note, this feature is still under development.

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a match rules generation logic. This bug is related to has_wildcard flag and rules optimization logic.
• Fixed the SNI (Server Name Indication) problem in the Policy Cost Analysis report.
• Cloudlets API v2 lists the policies endpoint properly handles includeDeleted query parameter.

Adaptive Acceleration Update

• Beacons from bots are now filtered from the mPulse data used for Automatic Server Push, Automatic Preconnect, and Automatic Font Preload policies. Adaptive Acceleration policies are based on real user beacon data collected over a period of time.

Script Management Update

• You can now access the Script Management application from the services menu in Akamai Control Center. Script Management was previously available from the Related apps menu in a property.

The latest mPulse release includes the following fixes:

• Fixed an issue where public dashboards could not be embedded in an iframe.
• Fixed an issue where alert incidents were missing in the Alert History tab. Alerts history now displays all alerts incidents that match the filter selection more reliably.

Shared Policy is Activated for Audience Segmentation and Forward Rewrite Cloudlets

Previously, Edge Redirector was the only Cloudlet that supported the new Shared Policy activation. Shared Policy is now available for the Audience Segmentation and Forward Rewrite Cloudlets. The use of Shared Policy allows using the same policy with all available properties that are tied to the same user account. Also, Shared Policy helps to reduce the activation time when there are multiple properties.
