The Live Stats Report shows real-time bandwidth usage and can be used to monitor real-time traffic trends.
The report displays usage in Bits/Sec for one or more services for the preceding 6 hours.
Report Specifications
The report automatically refreshes data every 30 seconds but contains an Auto refresh toggle in both tabs that allows you to enable or disable automatic refresh. The selection you make in one tab is reflected in the other tab.
The report has these tabs:
| Specification | Description |

| Latency | One minute |
| Granularity | One minute |
| Dimensions | Account, Protocol |
| Metrics - Summary Area in Overview Tab | Average, Peak Value |
| Metrics - Chart in Overview Tab, Map in Geography Tab | Throughput In and Out Data Transfer In and Out Requests In and Out |
| Delivery Mechanism | Realtime Reporting API |
| Associated API Endpoint(s) | - /realtime-reporting-api/traffic/livestats retrieves report data based on the filters applied.- /realtime-reporting-api/traffic/livestats/geo retrieves geo report data based on the filters applied. |

Summary Area
The Summary Area summarizes the metrics you selected (see Choosing Metrics for the Overview and Geography Tab) for the last six hours.
Units depend on the selected direction (In, Out, Total) and metric:
- Throughput - bits per second
- Data Transfer - bytes
- Requests - number of requests
| Statistic | Description |
|---|---|
| Average | Average for the selected metric and direction. |
| Peak Value | Highest value of the selected metric and direction. |
Exporting Chart Data
To export data currently displayed in the chart, click the Export drop-down menu on the right above the chart; then choose an option:

For example, if you selected Protocol in the aggregate drop-down menu, the legend contains a list of all protocols associated with the account.
The legend labels are toggles that you can use to display or hide the corresponding chart data. By default, all labels are toggled on. Click a label to hide or show the corresponding data in the chart. Labels that are toggled off have a gray font color.
Geography Tab
This tab shows usage in Bits/Sec over the last 12 hours on an interactive map.
The map shows data only if your account has the ‘POP view’ and ‘Region view’ products.
In the Region Data chart, individual POP traffic is stacked for each region, and you can mouse over any bar segment to view POP traffic details.
Click a continent to view data at the country level.
Choosing Metrics
Exporting Data
You can export data to a Comma-Separated Values (CSV) file that reflects the currently selected map metrics.
Click the Export dropdown on the right above the map, then select CSV.
After you select CSV, Control creates and downloads the report.
Choosing Metrics for the Overview and Geography Tab
On the right under the tab header are s that allow you to select metrics (Throughput, Data Transfer, Requests) and direction (In, Out, Total).
Make selections:
| Metric | Metric Description | Direction |
|---|---|---|
| Throughput | Traffic flow measured in bps. | In: Through the network from the origin. Out: through the network to the requestor, |
| Data Transfer | Data flow measured in bytes. | In: Into the CDN from the origin. Out: From the published host to the requestor. |
| Requests | Number of requests. | In: Into the CDN from the origin. Out: From the published host to the requestor. |
For all metrics, Total = In + Out.
The metrics you select are reflected in the summary area and chart in the Overview tab, and the map in the Geography tab.
