Traffic Insights
Adobe Commerce Traffic Insights is a New Relic One app that visualizes Adobe Commerce on Cloud Infrastructure Fastly CDN traffic. It reads the Fastly CDN access-log lines already being shipped into New Relic as Log events and renders a curated set of charts, scoped to a New Relic account you select and the platform time range. This visualizes a store’s edge traffic without writing NRQL, New Relic’s query language, by hand.
What it helps you investigate
Traffic Insights is designed to help you solve three common problems:
- CDN bandwidth overage — Traffic trending above the contract allowance. Attribute the volume to heavy media, large files, non-cacheable 404 pages, or an inefficient cache, down to a specific domain, content type, URL, or project.
- Search bot and crawler load — A search engine or AI crawler generating a disproportionate share of requests, hurting cache efficiency and origin load. See which named bots are most active and exactly what they fetch.
- Malicious scripts and scrapers — Scraping, credential stuffing, card testing, fake-account creation, or Layer 7 abuse. Surface the Fastly Next-Gen WAF signals and the IPs, subnets, and countries behind suspicious traffic.
In each case the app identifies the who, what, and where of the traffic. Acting on that information through Fastly VCL rules, image optimization, cache tuning, rate limiting, or Adobe’s Advanced Security add-on in your Commerce and Fastly configuration. The Investigation playbook covers each of these issues.
