Gain comprehensive visibility across your web stack by analyzing and correlating RUM metrics alongside performance data from your CDN and backend infrastructure. Use Datadog's out-of-the-box dashboard and monitors to: - Get an overview of key metrics like bounce rate, user sessions and page load times - Investigate the source of user facing slowdown, whether frontend or backend - Monitor page load times and page groups Correlate metrics with real-time data from [Akamai DataStream 2](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/akamai_datastream_2.md), [NGINX](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/nginx.md), [MYSQL](https://docs.datadoghq.com/integrations/mysql.md), and other technologies for a frontend to backend view of your web stack. ## Setup{% #setup %} ### Installation{% #installation %} Install the integration with the Datadog [Akamai mPulse integration tile](https://app.datadoghq.com/integrations/akamai-mpulse). ### Configuration{% #configuration %} An `apiKey` and `apiToken` are required to configure the Akamai mPulse integration. #### Generate an API key{% #generate-an-api-key %} The `apiKey` is an auto-generated value that uniquely identifies your site's data (beacons) found in your mPulse portal. {% alert level="warning" %} The "Apps" menu option and `apiKey` attribute are only visible to App Administrators. {% /alert %} 1. Find your `apiKey` by navigating to the "Central" page. 1. Click **Apps** on the left panel. 1. Select the app name you want to monitor to open a configuration page that contains your `apiKey`. #### Generate an API token{% #generate-an-api-token %} See the [Akamai documentation for API token](https://community.akamai.com/customers/s/article/mPulse-API-Login-Changes?language=en_US) then: 1. Log into `mpulse.soasta.com`. 1. Go to **My Settings** on the leftmost panel. 1. Click **Generate** in the API token area. ## Data Collected{% #data-collected %} ### Metrics{% #metrics %} | | | | | **akamai.mpulse.bouncerate**(gauge) | The percentage of visitors who enter the site and then leave*Shown as percent* | | **akamai.mpulse.clientroundtriptime.p50**(gauge) | The 50th percentile of the round-trip time between the browser and the Akamai edge server (nearest to the end user)*Shown as millisecond* | | **akamai.mpulse.clientroundtriptime.p95**(gauge) | The 95th percentile of the round-trip time between the browser and the Akamai edge server (nearest to the end user)*Shown as millisecond* | | **akamai.mpulse.dns.p50**(gauge) | The 50th percentile of DNS resolution time*Shown as millisecond* | | **akamai.mpulse.dns.p95**(gauge) | The 95th percentile of DNS resolution time*Shown as millisecond* | | **akamai.mpulse.domload.p50**(gauge) | The 50th percentile of domLoading -
