The enhanced Audience Analytics and Server-Side Analytics UI have the following capabilities: * Intuitive interface and easier navigation to reports and dashboards. * Easy creation and modification of custom dashboards and reports. * Slice and dice of data up to 5 levels. * Simplified data filter options.

Note * Dashboards display data for the previous day. Use the Calendar option to set it to your preferred view. * Custom reports in dashboards are migrated to the new UI. We recommend the deletion of unused reports for an organized report display. * Wrong date or filter applied to a report results in failure to generate an email report for a dashboard. * Downloading reports in the PDF format is no longer supported.

Known Issues * Recurring email reports are not migrated to the new UI and will stop when support ends for the old UI. We recommend that you configure new report email schedules in the new UI. * Dashboards and reports set as default in the old UI are not migrated to the new UI. Use Set as Default in the Settings menu to configure them again. * The following features are not supported at present but will be available at a future release: ** Emailing KPI/KQI reports ** World map in email reports. Data is rendered in the tabular format at present. ** Editing of email reports. * On pagination, reports using Time as the primary dimension show blank charts but display tables appropriately

The latest update for the case management release includes the following enhancements to the Case Management v2 API:

• List cases operation now provides an optional query duration parameter that returns tickets created within the specified number of days that match a state defined in the type parameter.
• List cases operation now returns a submittedBy member in the response body.

The latest update for API Gateway includes the following enhancements:

• The property activation status check is now functional.
• Endpoint versions may now be updated when any associated hostnames have been removed from property configurations but remained in use in API configurations.
• Performance improvements in backend configuration processing.
• GraphQL users may now specify a maximum query size up to 8129 bytes.
• GraphQL users may now specify a nesting depth for queries up to 100 levels.

Fixes/Changes:

Files using the extension “m4i” are now recognized as DASH “init” segments, and their Content-Type is set as “video/mp4.” Prior to this change, files using the “m4i” extension were treated as an “unknown” stream format.

Global Traffic Management is General Availability

Global Traffic Management (GTM) is designed to enable Internet users to access their websites or any other IP application quickly and reliably. GTM applies an Internet-centric approach to global load balancing to provide high-site availability and responsiveness to online user requests. Unlike traditional hardware-based solutions that reside within the data center, Akamai’s Global Traffic Management service is a fault-tolerant solution that makes intelligent routing decisions based on real-time data center performance health and global Internet conditions to route online user requests to the most appropriate data center using an optimized Internet route for that user at that moment. Additional capabilities include:

• Battle tested. Routes and manages traffic for some of the world’s largest distributed user audiences.

• Massive scale. Provides the scale to absorb the largest DDoS attacks targeting the DNS infrastructure.

• Roles and permissions. Provides configuration access controls to limit who can view and edit configurations.

• Total Solution. Provides capabilities such as ASN, CIDR and geographic mapping, IP version selection, load feedback, mirror failover, weighted random distribution, and policy chaining.

DNSi AnswerX is Limited Availability

DNSi AnswerX is a Recursive DNS Product and Service for Network Operators to enable and deploy primary recursive DNS resolution services, as well as optional value-added DNS services. The product has Cloud and Managed models and capabilities such as content filtering, DDoS resiliency and policy enforcement. Additional, unique capabilities include:

DNS FailSafe. Provides last known good answers, even when an authoritative server is down or not available. Enables resiliency even when an outbound network link’s quality and performance is low.

Policy Engine. Fully programmable, policy data-driven extensible language for input and outbound DNS transaction processing. Unique for each customer or tenant by the service addresses for each.

OPEN API to get and set policy data. RESTFul API to get and set policy data such as settings and Client ID mappings in real-time. All data is available across all servers in the network so that behaviors are consistent even if anycast maps a user to a new server.

On-net service model. Each customer has its own tenant or service instance. Each instance has its own IPv4 and IPv6 service addresses. Many, world wide points of presence or regions on demand ready via anycast. Option to provision regions on-net to minimize network time to AnswerX.

On-net Licensed model. AnswerX is available in a licensed model to own and operate.

SAML Single Sign-On Logs allow account administrators to view history of recent SSO-related actions and events for their account.

The SSO logs are divided into three sections:

• Successful logins - lists login events,
• SSO failures - lists unsuccessful logins with reasons of failures,
• Configurations changes - lists actions performed by user in SSO config.

Fast DNS is General Availability

Fast DNS is a cloud-based authoritative DNS solution that augments or replaces a customer’s existing DNS infrastructure. Fast DNS improves DNS resolution times, especially for websites on an Akamai delivery product, and has the scale to absorb the largest DDoS attacks targeting the DNS infrastructure. Additional unique capabilities include:

• Tenant distribution. No two Fast DNS customers share the same NS delegation set. This protects all customers when one customer experiences a massive DNS DDoS attack against the shared infrastructure.

• Roles and permissions. Provides configuration access controls to limit who can view and edit configurations.

• Total Solution. Provides exceptional functional capabilities, such as automatic IP throttling, IPv6 support, log delivery, reporting, primary and secondary DNS, SLAs, vanity name servers, alias zones, Zone Apex Mapping, and RESTFul API and optional DNSSEC support.

New Enhanced Content Control Utility User Interface

A new user interface for the Enhanced Content Control Utility (ECCU) is available.  The ECCU is used to purge content by directory or file extension.  This interface has the same functionality as before, but with updated components that improve the user experience.

For more information on the new ECCU user interface, see the documentation.

You can automate the ECCU with our ECCU REST API. For details, see Enhanced Content Control Utility API.

• As an additional security measure, admins receive email alerts about new users created in groups where they have administrator access.
• Bug fix to allow user creation with apostrophe in user’s first or last name.
• Minor bug fixes and enhancements.
