Metrics and Dimensions

Applies To:

HTTP LargeThis platform has been optimized to cache and deliver static content (e.g., HTML, CSS, JavaScript, ISO, multimedia, and software downloads, etc.) over HTTP or HTTPS.

HTTP SmallLegacy. If you are currently serving traffic over this platform, then you may continue to do so. However, we recommend that you serve your traffic over our more robust HTTP Large platform.

ADNThe Application Delivery Network platform has been optimized to deliver dynamic content (e.g., login credentials, account information, etc.) over HTTP or HTTPS. Typically, user-specific and database-driven content are served over this platform.

Report BuilderThis feature generates and delivers custom reports.

Metrics and dimensions determine the set of statistics that will be included within a report. Additionally, you may filter a report by a specific dimension.

The Time dimension is automatically included when a time interval is set via the Granularity option.

Metrics

A metric measures the rate, an amount, or the total number of times that a particular attribute occurred over a given record. Measurements are performed on requests that meet the following conditions:

Time Period: The request was initiated between the report's start and end date (UTC).
Time Interval: The request was initiated during the current record's time interval (i.e., granularity).

If a time interval was not defined, then each record covers the report's entire time period.
Delivery Platform: The request corresponds to a delivery platform that was enabled on the report.
Filter: The request meets any filter requirements that have been applied to the report.
Dimensions: If the report contains one or more dimensions, then the request must satisfy all dimension criteria defined within the current record.

For example, if the current record contains Country Code set to US and Edge CNAME set to cdn.example.com, then metrics for the current record will only measure requests to cdn.example.com that originate from the United States.

Definitions for each metric are provided below.
