The beta version offers an easy, turnkey log management solution and provides key insights based on stored log data for your Delivery services. Here’s what sets Log Manager & Insights apart:

  • Instant visibility driving quicker action: Offers instant visibility into the performance of edge requests to identify potential issues and anomalies before they escalate into critical events, enabling quicker debugging and troubleshooting of issues.
