Performance Dashboard

Performance Dashboard

The Performance Dashboard provides a comprehensive snapshot of your company’s performance and summarizes information in the Traffic Report and Status Codes Report. The Performance Dashboard is different from the older Dashboard, which is also available.
The Performance Dashboard comprises two sections:
  • The top section consists of tabs that show key performance metrics for the Delivery product, such as average bandwidth.
  • The lower section provides information about leading metrics, such as locations with the highest data transfer rate. Information is displayed in card format.
The content of the lower section does not vary when you select a different tab in the top section; the two sections are independent.
By default, data presented is an aggregate of all your company’s accounts.

Working with Tabs

Each tab displays data for the metric displayed in the tab name.
The average of the tab’s metric for the selected accounts and date range is displayed below the tab name.
If a metric has not been produced for the selected account and reporting period, the message “Not available” is displayed.
In the Throughput, Data Transfer, and Requests tabs, a toggle on the right above the chart allows you to specify chart content:
ToggleDescription
IN & OUTData broken out by IN and OUT where:

- IN is traffic coming into the CDN from customer origins.
- OUT is traffic leaving through published hosts to the requesting client.

Chart lines are color coded and identified by labels under the chart.
TOTALSum of IN and OUT
Configure chart content by making a selection in the toggle.

Leading Metrics Cards

Each Leading Metric card displays the entities with the highest metric for the measure displayed in the card. Each card displays at most five entities; if fewer entities are available, only those are displayed. If more entities are available, you can view them in the card’s expanded view (see Working with Cards).
