Bytes uploaded and downloaded

  • Bytes uploaded: This metric measures the quantity of bytes uploaded to your origin by your distribution through POST and PUT requests.

  • Bytes downloaded: This metric indicates the volume of bytes downloaded by viewers in response to GET, HEAD, and OPTIONS requests.

hashtag
Error rate

  • Total error rate: This metric denotes the percentage of all viewer requests for which the response's HTTP status code was 4xx or 5xx.

  • HTTP 4xx error rate: This metric represents the percentage of all viewer requests for which the response's HTTP status code was 4xx. In these scenarios, errors might have occurred due to client or viewer mistakes. For instance, a status code of 404 (Not Found) signifies that the client requested an object that could not be found.

  • HTTP 5xx error rate: This metric signifies the percentage of all viewer requests for which the response's HTTP status code was 5xx. These instances indicate that the origin server failed to fulfill the request. For example, a status code of 503 (Service Unavailable) implies that the origin server is currently inaccessible.
