About Data Segments
Data Segments are filters that gather traffic data. They are powered by EdgeQuery, and are used by the Traffic Report and these endpoints:
- /realtime-reporting-api/traffic
- /realtime-reporting-api/traffic/geo
Each Data Segment gathers the following data for a source or published host, a specific account, and a specific protocol (HTTP, HTTPS):
- Total traffic throughput.
- Percentage of total traffic relative to all Data Segments.
- Number of requests.
- CDN efficiency.
Data Segments gather daily data, providing 24-hour latency, and granularity. A Data Segment can optionally gather realtime data, providing 5-minute latency and granularity.
Data segments require significant system resources to process. A Data Segment is considered dormant if the Data Segment has not collected data within the last 100 days. Segments without data are removed weekly to improveEdgeQuery backend performance.
