Logs uploader
Logs uploader automatically exports CDN resource logs to configured storage destinations in near real time, providing continuous visibility into request activity and cache behavior. Exported logs contain information about user requests processed by cache servers, and by mid-tier cache servers when Origin shielding is enabled.
Logs uploader must first be enabled and set up in the CDB Technical Web Portal on the Orange's CDN page, or by contacting the CDB support.
Configuring Logs uploader
In the CDN menu, click Logs and select Logs uploader.
Control which fields are exported, how frequently the logs are delivered, and which storage service they are sent to. Supported destinations include CDB Object Storage, S3-compatible platforms, FTP and SFTP servers, and HTTP(S) endpoints. This flexibility helps you integrate CDN logs into existing observability, analytics, or compliance workflows while effectively managing data volume and processing requirements.
The Logs uploader screen has three tabs:
- Configurations — link policies and targets to deliver logs
- Policies — set export rules and schedules
- Targets — connect upload destinations
To add a configuration you must first have a policy and a target.
Log schema and field definitions
How near real time log exporting works
The Time interval setting in a Policy defines the frequency with which the logs are archived and exported. This interval is 5 minutes by default and can be set to between 5 and 60 minutes.
If CDN servers are not requested and the Do not send empty logs checkbox is not selected when configuring Logs uploader, an empty log file (± 20 bytes) will be sent to the storage target.
