CDN Access Logs

Learn how to explore and analyze raw CDN request logs for debugging, verification, and performance insights.

The CDN Access Logs dashboard — also referred to as Raw Logs — provides full transparency into every request processed by your CDN resources. It lets you inspect detailed request data such as paths, cache status, response codes, request time, and user-agent information. You can use this dashboard to trace anomalies, verify cache behavior, and analyze client or datacenter performance.

Only 24-hour time ranges are supported, and results are limited by your configured raw log retention period.

Log Summary

At the top of the dashboard, key summary indicators provide quick insights into your search results.

Metric	Description
Displayed Logs Count	Number of visible log entries (maximum 1,000).
Total Logs Count	Total number of matching requests for the active filters.

Use these metrics to confirm if your displayed results represent the entire dataset or only a subset.

If the total count is higher than 1,000, narrow your filters or reduce the time range to refine the results.

Requests Timeline

A time-series chart visualizes request volume within the selected period. This view helps you detect unusual patterns such as traffic spikes, cache flushes, or error surges.

Unexpected traffic peaks often indicate content updates, purge operations, or origin-level latency changes.

Raw Log Table

The Raw Log Table lists each request with its complete metadata for deep inspection.

Field	Description
Timestamp	Time when the request was processed.
Resource Name	CDN resource receiving the request.
Datacenter (PoP)	Edge location that served the request.
Country / ASN	Client’s country and network.
Request URI	Full URL or endpoint path.
Status	HTTP response code (2xx–5xx).
Cache Status	Cache result (HIT, MISS, EXPIRED).
Request Time (ms)	Total response duration.
User Agent	Client device and browser.

Filters

You can narrow or expand the scope of log data using the filters below. All filters are combinable, and results update dynamically in the dashboard.

Filter	Description
Resource Name	Select a specific CDN resource.
Account Type	Filter by CDN account or resource category.
Country	Narrow by client’s geographic location.
ASN	Filter by Autonomous System Number (ISP).
Datacenter	Show logs for a specific CDN PoP.
Proxy Cache Status	Filter by cache response type (HIT, MISS, EXPIRED, etc.).
Status	Filter by HTTP response code.
Request Method	Filter by HTTP method (GET, POST, HEAD, etc.).
Remote Address	Filter requests by client IP address.
Request URI / Param	Match full or partial URLs and query strings.
Request ID	Locate a specific request by unique identifier.
User Agent	Filter by device or browser type.
Request Time (>=)	Show only requests with response time above the selected value.

The table supports up to 1,000 rows per view. To retrieve all data, use CSV Export or request API-based access.

Filters

Use the filter panel to isolate specific log subsets. All filters can be combined, and the dashboard updates in real time.

Filter	Description
Resource Name	Select a specific CDN resource.
Account Type	Filter by resource category.
Country	Focus on requests from selected countries.
ASN	Filter by ISP (Autonomous System Number).
Datacenter	Focus on a specific Medianova PoP.
Status	Filter by HTTP response codes (2xx–5xx).
Cache Status	Filter by cache response (HIT, MISS, EXPIRED).
Request ID	Find a specific request by unique ID.
Request URI	Match full or partial URL paths.
Request Time (≥)	Display requests slower than the defined threshold.
Remote Address	Filter by client IP address.
User Agent	Filter by device or browser type.

Applying multiple filters can slow query time. Start broad and refine iteratively for faster results.

FAQ

Q1: How far back can I query data? You can search within your configured retention window — typically between 7 and 30 days. Older data is automatically purged.

Q2: Why do I only see 1,000 results? For performance optimization, the dashboard displays up to 1,000 rows. The Total Logs Count metric indicates whether additional results exist.

Q3: Can I export logs? Yes. You can export visible logs as a .CSV file or contact Medianova Technical Support for API-based or automated exports.
