Monitor Akamai Datastream 2 with Datadog

Akamai is one of the largest CDN solution providers globally, offering its Intelligent Edge Platform to help companies deliver content securely and efficiently. Datadog has integrated with various Akamai visibility tools, including Datastream and mPulse, providing insights into the health and performance of a company's CDN. The latest integration is with Akamai Datastream 2, which captures raw performance and security logs from edge servers and streams them to a destination of choice. This integration allows users to visualize key performance indicators such as request traffic, HTTP response codes, latency, cache hits and misses, and more in the Log Explorer and customizable dashboards. By centralizing logs and metrics together, users can quickly spot performance issues and take necessary actions to improve CDN performance.
