Raw Logs

Medianova provides access to Raw Logs, which offer granular visibility into every request made to your CDN resources. These logs are invaluable for real-time debugging, traffic analysis, and integrating CDN data into your observability stack.

What Are Raw Logs?

Raw Logs are unprocessed access records generated directly from CDN edge nodes. They capture all HTTP requests served by the CDN, whether cached or forwarded to the origin. This raw data gives you full transparency into how users interact with your content.

Panel Overview

The Raw Logs feature provides real-time visibility into individual HTTP requests processed by Medianova CDN edge servers. Logs can be viewed, filtered, customized, and exported directly from the Medianova control panel.

Accessing Raw Logs

To access Raw Logs in the Medianova Panel:

1. Log in to the Control Panel Navigate to the Raw Logs section under MN Logz from the left-hand sidebar.

2. Select Resources Choose the specific CDN resources or domains you want to analyze.

3. Set the Date and Time Range Define a time window either by selecting a predefined interval or customizing the exact start and end times.

Filtering Logs

Logs can be filtered by predefined time intervals:

• Last 5 Minutes

• Last 15 Minutes

• Last 30 Minutes

• Last 1 Hour

• Last 2 Hours

• Last 3 Hours

• Last 4 Hours

• Last 5 Hours

• Last 6 Hours

Available Log Fields

You can customize your log view using the Edit Column Fields option, which allows you to select specific fields to include based on the data points you want to analyze.

Use Cases

• Analyze usage patterns and client behavior

• Track performance metrics like latency or throughput

• Investigate suspicious or malicious traffic (DDoS, bots)

In the Medianova Raw Log interface, you can drill down into each log line to view its details in a structured panel. The sidebar provides a user-friendly breakdown grouped into sections such as:

• Request Information (Method, Protocol, Status, Cache Status, Request Time)

• Client Information (IP, ASN, Country Code, User Agent)

• Performance Metrics (Response Times, Bytes Sent)

• Raw Log (Full JSON payload)

This level of clarity helps streamline troubleshooting and performance analysis workflows.

Pricing

Raw Logs is an Enterprise-only feature and is not enabled by default. Activation is handled through the Sales Team based on your account and log volume requirements.

For detailed pricing and feature activation, please contact the Medianova Sales Team.

Exporting Logs

Raw Logs can be exported in CSV format directly from the Medianova Control Panel for further analysis or archiving.

Export Limit: Each export action allows downloading logs based on the number of entries displayed per page. By adjusting pagination or filters, users can control the volume of exported data. For larger datasets, repeated exports across multiple pages may be necessary.

Using filtered views and custom time ranges helps focus on specific events and ensures cleaner exports.
