Fastly is an edge cloud platform that provides CDN, WAF, and edge-compute services. Users of Fastly can configure edge services to serve applications and assets through their network.

Observe helps you monitor your organizations’ Fastly activity with:

• Datasets containing request logs from all your Fastly traffic
• Datasets containing current configurations of services
• Dashboard for checking on the health and volume of traffic being served.

What data does it ingest?

The Fastly app collects data from the following sources:

• HTTPS logging endpoint which is configured on each service in Fastly and sends request logs to an Observe ingestion endpoint
• The Observe poller for Fastly periodically collects data about the services that are configured in Fastly.

The documents in this section describe how to ingest data, install, and configure these collectors. For more about exploring this data see View Fastly data in Observe.
