CDN delivery traffic, cache efficiency, and request counts can be shown as Grafana time-series panels. The Grafana plugin adds the Gcore Platform-EN data source.
The previous CDN-only plugin (cdn-stats) is deprecated. Migrate existing dashboards to Gcore Platform-EN.

Query fields

CDN queries cover delivery traffic, cache efficiency, and request or response trends. The metric values match the CDN statistics API. An alert rule on one of these queries changes state when a value crosses a threshold. Metrics Granularity: 5m, 15m, 1h, or 1d. Group By: Resource, Client, Vhost (custom domain), Region, Country, or Datacenter. More than one value can be selected. The query sends resource, client, vhost, region, country, or dc. Filters (comma separated): optional Vhosts, Resources, Clients, Regions, and Countries fields narrow the series. Separate several values with commas. Legend Format: the default legend includes the metric name and the group-by values. A custom template uses placeholders in double curly braces that match the grouping: Traffic ({{resource}}). Total Requests, granularity 5m, and Group By set to Resource produce one series per CDN resource:
CDN requests grouped by resource

​
Dashboard variables

Dashboard variables can drive CDN filters so the same panel switches between resources, clients, or other dimensions without editing the query.
  1. On the dashboard, click Add variable, then Query.
  2. Set Name to the name used in the filter. resource matches the Resources filter.
  3. Under Query options, click Open variable editor. Select Gcore Platform-EN, then set Values for to resourceID, vhost, client, country, or region.
  4. Sort, Multi-value, and Include All value are optional.
  5. Click Apply. In the matching CDN filter, enter the variable with a $ prefix. $resource goes in Resources.
  6. Save the dashboard.
