Log Management

CDN records the requests to all domain names including those deleted. If you have enabled the enterprise project function, log management is not available for these deleted domain names. You can download logs for a specific period over the past 30 days. Then you can analyze the access to your service resources in detail.

Log Description

Log delay: Most logs are generated in 24 hours. Download them after they are generated.

Due to the synchronization latency of the log system, user access logs may not be generated in the first hour after a domain name is connected to CDN. To view logs generated in this period, submit a service ticket.

Log naming: Period start time-Acceleration domain name-Extended field.gz

Log generation: By default, a log file is generated for each domain name every hour, and 24 log files are generated every day. The size of a log file is limited. If a log file generated within a period is too large, it will be divided into multiple files, with an extended field added to their names.

Example of log file content
