Overview

Monitor Akamai security and delivery directly inside Grafana

SIEM Integration API

Reporting API v2

EdgeGrid HMAC-SHA-256 auth

Single pane of glass

The Akamai plugin is a backend data source plugin that unifies Akamai security events and CDN traffic metrics inside Grafana. It queries the Akamai SIEM Integration API for WAF, bot, and client-reputation attack logs, and the Akamai Reporting API v2 for edge, origin, midgress, and offload traffic metrics, all through native EdgeGrid HMAC-SHA-256 authentication, the standard scheme across Akamai APIs.

Security and platform teams get attack visibility and delivery performance side by side, in the same dashboards they already use for the rest of their stack. Instead of switching between the Akamai Control Center and separate reporting tools, teams can correlate a spike in WAF events with edge traffic patterns, investigate suspicious client IPs, analyze rule matches, and track content offload from a single pane of glass.

Coverage

What You Can Monitor

The plugin exposes two query categories, selectable in the query editor: Security Events from the SIEM Integration API and CDN Traffic Metrics from the Reporting API v2.

01 — SIEM Integration API

Security Events

WAF, bot, client-reputation, HTTP, geographic, and user-risk logs, with applied actions, policies, client IPs by country and city, matched rules and rule tags, and fully decoded rule detail.

02 — Reporting API v2

CDN Traffic Metrics

Delivery performance across four categories — Edge, Origin, Midgress, and Offload traffic — broken down by hostname and response code to understand delivery and cache efficiency.

Differentiators

Why Crest Data's Akamai Plugin?

Two APIs, One Plugin

Combines Akamai's SIEM Integration API and Reporting API v2 in a single data source, so security events and CDN traffic live in the same Grafana views.

Native & Agentless

Talks directly to Akamai's SIEM and Reporting APIs from the Go backend with EdgeGrid signing. No agents, no exporters, no extra collection layer to deploy or maintain.

Native EdgeGrid Authentication

Uses EdgeGrid HMAC-SHA-256 request signing, the standard scheme for all Akamai APIs, implemented in the Go backend. Client Secret and Access Token are stored encrypted.

Six Security Report Views

Purpose-built views for Security Events (All), Attack Summary, IP Activity, Rule Analysis, User Activity, and Path Analysis, each surfacing the columns analysts actually need.

Resilient by Design

Built-in retry with exponential backoff for transient failures (408, 429, 5xx), with clear, actionable error messages for authentication and access issues.

Built for the Akamai APIs

Handles Akamai's NDJSON SIEM response format, offset-token pagination, and the three-step rule-decoding process, and respects Akamai's rate-limit guidance automatically.
