Overview
Send Akamai access logs to your assigned Profound S3 destination to see agent traffic in Agent Analytics. This guide covers CDN request logs delivered through DataStream 2.Contact Profound support to confirm availability and arrange your destination settings and credentials before configuring delivery.
Prerequisites
- An Akamai account with DataStream 2 enabled.
- Permission to create and activate streams for your properties.
- Access to Property Manager to configure request header logging and any required DataStream behavior.
Encryption
This guide uses SSE-S3 (AES256) to encrypt your logs at rest with keys managed by Amazon S3. Profound configures encryption on your destination.Configuration
1
Arrange your destination
Share the domains you want to monitor with Profound support. Support will confirm source readiness and coordinate delivery of your bucket name, folder path, region, and AWS credentials.Keep the secret access key in your credential manager and enter it directly into Akamai. Avoid including it in support messages or screenshots.
2
Create a stream
In Akamai Control Center, open Analytics & monitor > DataStream and select Create stream. Choose CDN delivery logs, enter a descriptive name, and select the properties that serve your domains.
3
Select log fields
Select JSON as the log format. Profound processes one JSON object per line with the following fields:
Include
queryStr, referer, and totalBytes for query strings, referral information, and response size.In Property Manager, enable logging for the Host, User-Agent, and Referer headers so the selected fields contain request values. See Akamai’s data set parameters for the corresponding settings.4
Configure the S3 destination
Select S3 on the Destination tab and enter:
Select Validate & Save to check access. Akamai writes a verification file to the destination during validation.DataStream 2 delivers gzip-compressed files to S3. Keep the default log filenames; Profound expects compressed filenames to end in
.gz.See Akamai’s Amazon S3 destination guide for details.5
Activate delivery
After Profound confirms readiness, review and activate your stream. Set sampling to 100% to capture all matching requests.For Property Manager-dependent streams, enable the DataStream behavior, select your DataStream 2 stream, and activate the property version. DataStream-managed streams use the stream configuration directly.Follow Akamai’s activation steps for your integration type. Activation can take up to an hour.
