Visibility from edge to origin
Adding a CDN to your delivery network is essential for improving performance and speed, but it doesn’t need to come at the cost of decreased visibility into your origin performance.
Say goodbye to complicated origin data pipelines or lack of visibility. Origin Inspector provides you with a data stream and visualizations that offer real-time and historical visibility into responses delivered from your origin servers to the Fastly Edge Cloud. Effortlessly monitor every origin response, byte, status code, and more without needing to send log data to a third-party data collector.
Granular visibility
Get visibility of every response from origin to edge so you can report and react in real-time to changes in origin behavior.
Simplified data pipelines
Monitor and report on egress data within the Fastly UI without needing to set up complex data pipelines.
Improve performance
Access both real-time and historical data to help you troubleshoot errors and improve origin performance.
Measurable ROI
Quantify origin infrastructure and egress cost savings to make more informed business decisions.
Use cases for Origin Inspector
