To better control log data that your DataStream collects for
individual properties, you can update the DataStream behavior in a property
configuration.
You can configure the behavior to:
- Disable log collection for a
property.
- Collect logs only from specific
data streams.
To do any of that, you need to create a version of your property configuration in
Property Manager and edit the existing DataStream configuration.
It’s a quick way of overriding the global settings configured in the
DataStream application and excluding a property from being part of its associated data
streams. Changes you introduce in your property configuration take about 15 minutes to
take effect across the Akamai platform. For example, you can quickly disable log
collection for one property in a data stream on finding a security incident but keep
monitoring other properties associated with this data stream.
Before you begin
Check the identifiers of the
data streams that monitor this property. You'll need this data to if you
want to receive logs only form these data streams. See Viewing options.
How to
-
Use the top-right menu in the
header to select the appropriate Control Center account (one with
access to the applicable product).
-
Access Property Manager
configurations associated with the selected Control Center account. Go to
(or just enter Properties in the
search box).
The Property Groups page opens.
-
Click the Property Name
link for your property.
-
On the Property Details
page, click the Version of your configuration that you want to access in
Manage Versions
and Activations.
The Property Manager
Editor appears.
-
If your property is already active, click Edit New
Version to introduce your changes.
-
Find the DataStream
behavior in the Default Rule or custom rule and introduce your changes.
-
In the DataStream
section, do the following:
-
Set the Enable
switch to enable or disable log collection for this property.
- Optional:
In DataStream
ID(s), select the identifiers of the associated data
streams that you want to log this property's transactions. These are the
only data streams that will collect logs for this property.
Note: If you leave this
field empty, the DataStream behavior collects data from all active
streams associated with the property.
-
On the Activate tab,
click Activate v# on
Production.
What you should see
Once the property version is active on the production
network, your data streams take about 15 minutes to adapt to the changes.
Next steps
If you deployed any of the data streams monitoring this
property in an inactive state, remember to activate them in the DataStream application.
