Usage Statistics

CDNetworks provides various dimensions of Usage Statistics data to meet your different needs. The dimensions include Traffic, Bandwidth, Requests, and usage by region.

How to Access the Usage Statistics

1. Log in to the CDNetworks Console, and select the corresponding product.
2. Click Statistical Analysis > Usage Statistics. You will see three tabs: Bandwidth/Traffic, Requests, and Region & ISP Distribution. Select the tab you want to view and click on it. Filter the time range and domain, then click Query to see the corresponding usage information.
3. In the upper right corner of the usage chart, support to export detailed data by clicking .

Each tab displays usage data from different dimensions. For detailed information, refer to below specific introduction sections below.

Bandwidth/Traffic

CDNetworks Console displays the following tabs by default.


Overall trend
This is a summary chart that shows the traffic generated on the Edge servers, Relay servers (middle CDN servers) and during Back-to-Origin, and also the ratio of bandwidth saved for customers.

When the query time range is less than or equal to one day, the data granularity is 5 minutes; when the query time range exceeds one day, the data granularity changes to 1 hour.

For example, when you select June 1st and the domain cdnetworks.com to query the overall trend chart, the chart will display data at a 5-minute granularity. This data shows the bandwidth, traffic, and bandwidth savings ratio generated on the CDN Edge servers, relay servers and Back-to-Origin on June 1st for that domain. When selecting June 1st to June 2nd, you will see hourly data.

Edge
This chart shows the bandwidth/traffic generated on the CDN edge servers.

• The default data granularity is 5 minutes, which is also the smallest granularity. You can switch to other granularities manually.
• Supports viewing comparative traffic/bandwidth usage across different time periods.

Relay
This chart shows the bandwidth/traffic generated on the CDN relay servers.
The default data granularity is 5 minutes, cannot be switched to other granularities manually.

Back-to-Origin
This chart shows the bandwidth/traffic generated during the back-to-origin process on the CDN servers.

• The default data granularity is 5 minutes, which is also the smallest granularity. You can switch to other granularities manually.
• Supports viewing comparative traffic/bandwidth usage across different time periods.

Bandwidth Saving Ratio
The bandwidth saving ratio allows you to see the value brought by caching.

• Bandwidth Savings: Without CDN, each end-user request would be sent to the origin server, generating bandwidth on the origin server. With CDN, the CDN can directly respond to cached files without going back to the origin, saving bandwidth on the customer’s origin server.
• Bandwidth Saving Ratio: The reduced back-to-origin bandwidth due to CDN responding with cached files. Calculation formula = (Total Traffic - Back-to-Origin Traffic) / Total Traffic, where Total Traffic = Edge Traffic.

When the query time range is less than or equal to one day, the data granularity is 5 minutes; when the query time range exceeds one day, the data granularity changes to 1 hour.

Daily Data
Displays the peak bandwidth, peak time, and traffic for each day within the query time range.

Bandwidth Saving Ratio Top 10 Domain
Filters the top 10 domains by the peak bandwidth saving ratio within the query time range and displays the peak and average bandwidth saving ratios for these domains.

Requests

CDNetworks Console displays the following tabs by default.


Overall trend
This is a summary chart that shows the number of requests generated on the Edge and Back-to-Origin, and the Hit Ratio, all in one chart.

When the query time range is less than or equal to one day, the data granularity is 5 minutes; when the query time range exceeds one day, the data granularity changes to 1 hour.

For example, when you select June 1st and the domain cdnetworks.com to query the overall trend chart, the chart will display data at a 5-minute granularity. This data shows the number of requests generated on the CDN Edge servers and Back-to-Origin, and also the hit ratio on June 1st for that domain. When selecting June 1st to June 2nd, you will see hourly data.

Edge
This chart shows the number of requests generated on the CDN edge servers.

• The default data granularity is 5 minutes, which is also the smallest granularity. You can switch to other granularities manually.
• Supports selecting request data for different network layer protocols, such as IPV4 and IPV6.

Back-to-Origin
This chart shows the number of requests generated during the back-to-origin process on the CDN servers.
The default data granularity is 5 minutes, which is also the smallest granularity. You can switch to other granularities manually.

Hit Ratio
Without CDN, each end-user request would be sent to the origin server. With CDN, the CDN can directly respond to cached files without going back to the origin. This process is called hit. The hit ratio = Requests hit by CDN / Total Edge Requests.

When the query time range is less than or equal to one day, the data granularity is 5 minutes; when the query time range exceeds one day, the data granularity changes to 1 hour.

Daily Data
Displays the total number of requests for each day within the query time range.

Hit Ratio Top 10 Domain
Filters the top 10 domains by the peak hit ratio within the query time range and displays the peak and average hit ratios for these domains.

Type Ratio

• Edge PoP Requests: The number of requests received by the CDN edge servers from end-users.
• Back-to-Origin Requests: The number of requests generated when CDN servers request content from the origin.

The ratio of these two types can determine the CDN cache hit ratio. The lower the Back-to-Origin request ratio, the higher the hit ratio.

Region & ISP Distribution

• Bandwidth/Traffic: Click Query to display the peak bandwidth, peak time, and total traffic by region, sorted in descending order of peak bandwidth.
• Requests: Click Query to display the number of requests by region and the proportion of total regional requests, sorted in descending order of requests.
• Region: The region refers to the area where the end-user is located. You can filter the region you want to view and click Query to see the distribution.
