Origin Inspector Historical API

Origin Inspector provides a JSON-formatted historical API for visibility into responses delivered from your origin servers to Fastly. The API offers a standardized set of data to report in minutely, hourly or daily granularity on every origin response, byte, and status code received by a specified service.

IMPORTANT: Origin Inspector is an optional upgrade to Fastly service plans and must be enabled for each service using the enablement API.

Query options

When the start or end parameters specify a date without a time, the time component will be set to 00:00. To specify a different time, use a Unix timestamp or an expression such as start=2021-01-01%2008:00&end=2021-01-02%2008:00

If start is omitted, the time range will start at a point determined by the value of downsample:

?downsample=day: one month ago
?downsample=hour: one day ago
?downsample=minute: 30 minutes ago

If you define values for all of the start, end, and downsamples parameters you can accidentally ask for a very large data set.

IMPORTANT: All absolute time references in the historical API are expressed in UTC.

Examples

Returns origin response counts for service abc123, summed by day, for the first week of September 2021:

/metrics/origins/services/abc123?start=2021-09-01&end=2021-09-08&downsample=day&metric=responses

Returns the count of 200 and 204 status codes emitted by origins for service abc123, summed by minute, for the first 8 hours of September 2021:

/metrics/origins/services/abc123?start=2021-09-01T00:00:00&end=2021-09-02T08:00:00&downsample=minute&metric=status_200,status_201

Returns the count of 5xx status codes emitted by origins for service abc123 on the first day of September 2021, with one timeseries per unique origin host:

/metrics/origins/services/abc123?start=2021-09-01&end=2021-09-02&metric=status_5xx&group_by=host

Data latency

As a general rule, data with minute, hour, and day resolution will each be delayed by approximately 10 to 15 minutes due to the time it takes to collect and process historical data. Therefore time periods that are yet to complete or have only recently ended may return data that is yet to fully count all traffic for that period.

Error format

Error responses have the Content-Type header set to application/problem+json. The error response body will include:

type (string): A URL that includes additional, human-readable information about this error type.
title (string): A short name for the error type.
status (integer): The HTTP status code.
detail (string): A human-readable description of the specific error.
errors (array): A list of individual errors, where multiple errors have occurred.

An example error can be seen below:

{
  "type": "https://fastly.help/metrics/validation-error",
  "title": "Request parameters were invalid.",
  "status": 400,
  "errors": [
    {
      "property": "metric",
      "reason": "Unrecognized metric names: 'my_metric', 'my_metric2'"
    }
  ],
  "detail": "Parameters with invalid values: 'metric'"
}

Data model

`dimensions`	object	The unique combination of dimensions associated with this timeseries.
`meta`	object	Meta information about the scope of the query in a human readable format.
