Akamai

This guide walks through configuring Akamai DataStream 2 to forward CDN access logs to Limy Agent Analytics.

---

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

• Access to Akamai Control Center with permission to create and activate DataStream configurations.

• Access to Property Manager for the property (CDN configuration) whose traffic you want to log.

---

1. Open DataStream

1. Sign in to Akamai Control Center.

2. From the hamburger menu (☰), go to COMMON SERVICES > DataStream to open the streams dashboard.

2. Create a new stream

1. Click Create stream.

2. Choose the log type Delivery (CDN) products — this captures CDN access logs.

3. Choose the source

Select the property / CDN configuration whose traffic you want to stream. This is the source of the access logs that will be delivered to Limy.

4. Select the data set fields

On the Data Sets step, select all of the following fields. These are mandatory for the Limy integration. The JSON key column is the field name as it appears in each delivered log record.

*Is mandatory

Field	JSON key
Request time *	reqTimeSec
Request ID *	reqId
Client IP *	cliIP
HTTP status code *	statusCode
Request method *	reqMethod
Request path *	reqPath
Request host *	reqHost
User-Agent *	UA
Total bytes *	totalBytes
Response Content-Length *	rspContentLen
Response Content-Type *	rspContentType
Accept-Language	accLang
Cookie	cookie
Range	range
Referer	referer
X-Forwarded-For	xForwardedFor
Max age	maxAgeSec
Request end time	reqEndTimeMSec
Turn around time	turnAroundTimeMSec
Transfer time	transferTimeMSec
Country/Region	country
City	city
State	state
Bytes	bytes
Request port	reqPort
Protocol type	proto

5. Set the log format

Set Log format to JSON.

6. Configure the destination

On the Destination tab:

1. Destination: select Custom HTTPS.

2. Name: enter a human-readable label (e.g. Limy Agent Analytics).

3. Endpoint URL: https://stream.getlimy.ai/

4. Authentication: select Basic.

   1. In username, enter the org name (for example: YourCompanyName)

   2. In password, enter your Limy Key (lmy_*********). The key can be found in Agent Monitor page in your Limy Dashboard.

5. Do not - Compress data: leave button unchecked — do not compress data.

6. Click Validate & Save.

7. Review and activate the stream

1. Review the configuration on the summary step.

2. Click Activate to deploy the stream.

8. Enable the DataStream behavior in Property Manager

A stream only collects data once the DataStream behavior is enabled on the property:

1. Go to ☰ > CDN > Properties and open your property.

2. Open the configuration Version you want to edit.

3. Click Edit New Version

4. In the default rule, under Log Delivery, Scroll to Behaviors

5. Turn on Log User-Agent Header. (And Referrer Header)

6. Save, then activate the property version on the production network.

---

Verify the integration

• After activation, allow up to ~120 minutes for logs to begin arriving in Limy Dashboard.

• Confirm data is appearing in the Limy Agent Analytics dashboard.

• If nothing arrives, check that the stream is active, the DataStream behavior is enabled on the property, and the property version is active on production.

Note: Akamai may rename fields, relabel buttons, or rearrange this flow over time. If the exact wording or screen layout differs from this guide, the underlying logic is unchanged — create a stream, select the data set fields, set the format to JSON, point it at the Limy custom HTTPS endpoint without compression, and enable the DataStream behavior on your property.
