## Dynamic Site Accelerator

In your **Dynamic Site Accelerator** configuration, set the **Cloud Monitor Instrumentation** behavior with the these parameters:

|                                     |                                                                                                  |
| ----------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Cloud Monitor Delivery Hostname** | `logs.logdna.com`                                                                                |
| *Data Sets to Include\**            | Specify the datasets for your logs                                                               |
| **Delivery URL Path**               | `/akamai/ingest/<Ingestion Key>`<br /><br />Use your Mezmo **Access Key** for '\<Ingestion Key>' |

<Note>
  Use querystring parameters to override **hostname**, **app**, or to add **tags**: `/akamai/ingest/<Ingestion Key>?hostname=newHost&app=newTest`; `/akamai/ingest/<Ingestion Key>?tags=akamai,logdna&app=newTest`; `/akamai/ingest/<Ingestion Key>?tags=tag1&hostname=host1`, etc.
</Note>

## How Akamai Logs are Parsed

You can find information for each of your datasets in these log entries:

|                                       |             |
| ------------------------------------- | ----------- |
| **Base Log Line Data**                | `meta.*`    |
| **Geographic Data**                   | \`geo.\*'   |
| **HTTP 1.0**                          | `http.*`    |
| **Message Exchange Data**             | `http.*`    |
| **Network Data 1.0**                  | `network.*` |
| **Network Performance Data**          | `netPerf.*` |
| **Request Header Data**               | `reqHdr.*`  |
| **Response Header Data**              | `respHdr.*` |
| **Web Application Firewall Data 2.0** | `waf_2.*`   |

The information about each dataset and the definition of each field can be found in Appendix A: Cloud Monitor Default Connectors section of [Cloud Monitor Implementation Guide](https://control.akamai.com/dl/customers/ALTA/Cloud-Monitor-Implementation.pdf).

Unless specified, **hostname** is always `http.reqPath` and **app** is always AkamaiCloudMonitor.

The log line is formatted using some `http.*` fields as in this example:
`cliIP reqMethod reqPath?reqQuery proto/protoVer status bytes reqCT reqLen respCT respLen UA`

**Notes**:

* `-` is used if the optional field is missing;
* Just `reqPath` is used if there is no `reqQuery`;
* In order to format the line, the fields are joined together using whitespace delimiter in this order:
* `http.cliIP`;
* `http.reqMethod`;
* `http.reqPath?http.reqQuery` or just `http.reqPath`;
* `http.proto/http.protoVer`;
* `http.status`;
* `http.bytes`;
* `http.reqCT`;
* `http.reqLen`;
* `http.respCT`;
* `http.respLen`;
* `http.UA`.
