Adding a new Project

A project is a collection of assets that you want to define for monitoring. A project can consist of assets for one channel or assets related to a particular event, such as a soccer match.

To add a new project:

  1. Click Add Project. The Add Project page appears. There are two features that can be specified as you create a new project. These features apply a multiplier to the consumption rate of the service.
  • Data Retention Period: Defines how long collected data will be retained in the service

    • 7 Days (Default)
    • 30 Days: Extends the period to 30 days and adds a consumption rate multiplier to all assets within this project
    • 60 Days: Extends the period to 60 days and adds a consumption rate multiplier to all assets within this project
  • Advanced QOS: Adds significantly more data to help identify delivery performance issues

    • Captures http request/response headers, enabling understanding of cache tier and potentially cache node responses during poor performance periods
    • Associates all connection metadata to 'per request' QOS metrics
    • Enables template driven REPORTS API endpoint
    • Adds additional details to the log and debug views in the service dashboards
    • Applies a consumption rate multiplier to all assets within this project when enabled

The billing dashboard highlights the consumption rate multipliers of these features.
