Modules

Traffic Ops

Traffic Ops is the RESTful API service for management and monitoring of all servers in the CDN.

Traffic Stats acquires and stores real-time metrics and statistics into an InfluxDB for charting and alerting.


Traffic Portal

Traffic Portal is the web GUI for managing and monitoring the CDN via the Traffic Ops API.

Traffic Monitor

Traffic Monitor uses HTTP to poll the health of caches and provide this information to Traffic Router.
