The Delivery Service Dashboard provides a comparative view of key performance metrics such as peak bandwidth and cache efficiency for selected service providers or delivery services in your network. This dashboard reflects egress traffic only.
On this dashboard, you can:
- Compare selected delivery services.
- Compare selected service providers.
- View data about delivery services for a particular service provider.
- View data about a particular delivery service across all service providers.
- View delivery service delegation by country.
Note: Icons and reports may vary, according to the services available in your network.
Display the Dashboard
To display the dashboard, select Delivery Service Dashboard from the navigation panel.
Configuring the Dashboard
To configure the dashboard for your use case:
-
Select one or more content publishers of interest (this menu is only active if your use case includes multiple content providers).
-
Choose to focus on Delivery Services, Service Providers, or Server Country.
-
Set the date range. The date range determines the granularity of the displayed data. For example, when the date range is 24 hours, the graphs display data per 5-minute increment. When the date range is 7 days, the graphs display data per 15-minute increment.
Note that the peak bandwidth values are always calculated based on 5-minute intervals, even if the data points on the graph represent longer intervals. Learn more about peak values.
Executive Summary
The Executive Summary at the top of the dashboard displays the key performance metrics. These are combined values for all the delivery services or service providers.
- Average Bandwidth - The average amount of bandwidth consumed per time increment.
- Peak Bandwidth - The highest amount of bandwidth consumed in a single time increment during the specified period.
- Volume - The total amount of data transferred during the time period.
- Efficiency(%) - The percentage of all volume that was served directly from the cache. For example, a 90% efficiency value means that 90% of the volume was served from the CDN, while 10% was proxied from the origin.
- Average Bitrate - The average bitrate of individual HTTP transactions (not entire download sessions) over the time period.

Graphs
The graphs show the metrics per delivery service or service provider.
Click the Hide and Show icons to show or hide the graphs.
Graphs in the Delivery Service Dashboard:
-
Volume Distribution - Shows the distribution of volume per delivery service, service provider, or server country, with entities accounting for less than 5% grouped under the "Other" category.
-
Bandwidth - The Bandwidth graph shows the amount of bandwidth consumed over the selected time period, measured in bits per second. The graph displays the metric for each delivery service, service provider, or server country, plus the total bandwidth for all delivery services, service providers, or server countries combined.
Hover over a data point in the Bandwidth graph to view details.
Hover over the peak icon to view the peak details.
Performance Table
The table presents key performance values from the perspective of delivery services, service providers, or server countries.
- Delivery Services mode - Lists delivery services, each followed by the service providers handling their traffic. Metrics for each delivery service reflect combined traffic across all its service providers.
- Service Providers mode - Lists service providers, each followed by the delivery services they support. Metrics for each service provider reflect combined traffic across all its associated delivery services.
- Server Country mode - Lists countries where Qwilt CDN servers operate, each followed by the list of delivery services with traffic in that country. Metrics for each country reflect combined traffic across all its associated delivery services.
In this example, the dashboard is set to Service Providers mode:
The table displays the following columns:
- Name - The name of the entity.
- Peak Bandwidth - The highest amount of bandwidth consumed by the entity during a single time increment.
- Volume - The total amount of data transferred by the entity over the time period.
- Efficiency - The percentage of volume served from cache over the time period.
- Streamed Bitrate - The amount of data transferred over the time period.
- Hit Ratio - The percentage of transactions served directly from cache over the time period.
- Error Codes - The percentage of transactions generating 4xx and 5xx HTTPS response codes.
- Max Subscribers - The maximum count/number of subscribers.
- Region - Regions are based on billing country/region mapping.
- Country - The country in which the entity operates.
- Service Types - The delivery service types and/or services. (Relevant to the Service Providers and Server Country views.)
- ISPs - Indicates the ISP of the selected entity. (Relevant to the Delivery Services view.)

Sorting Table Data
Click a column heading to sort the data by that parameter.
Creating Focused Views
You can use the table to create focused views of selected data in the graphs.
By default, the graphs break down the metric by entity (delivery service, service provider, or server country, depending on the selected view).
To focus on a specific content publisher, delivery service, or country, hover over it in the table.
If it's a top level entity (e.g. a delivery service in the Delivery Services view), the graphs display only the total aggregate value.
To drill down on a top-level entity, click the magnifying glass icon next to its name in the table. The graphs display the metric per child entity in addition to the aggregate metric.
Click the X to revert to the default graph view.
Exporting Table Data
To export the displayed table data to CSV, select the Export this table to CSV icon.
