About the Compute page

The Compute controls are the key area of the web interface where you access your Compute services. The Compute controls serve as a web-based alternative to using the Fastly CLI.

Before you begin

Be sure you know how to access the web interface controls before learning about each of the pages you'll encounter there.

About the Compute services page

The Compute page provides a list of clickable links to all Compute services associated with your account. Additionally, the Compute page displays high-level details about each service including the active version number, the current requests per second, and a chart of the last hour of requests. To access this page, go to Compute > Compute Services.

If you have a lot of services, you can view a condensed version of the list by clicking the icon with three lines above the list of services.

Clicking on each column in the displayed list will sort the entire list based on that content type. You can use the search box to search for a service by ID, name, or domain. You can filter your list of services to show services that are active or inactive, or that you've designated as favorites. To filter your services, select the appropriate filters from the Filter menu above the list of services. The filters you've applied to the list will appear as oval shapes above the list of services. You can remove a filter at any time by clicking the x on any filter or the Clear filters option.

Clicking a link to a Compute service takes you to the Service summary tab, where you can review other general service details, and gives you access to the Service configuration tab, which contains the main controls for editing your service configurations.

Clicking Create service takes you to the Create a Compute service page.

About the Service summary tab

When you select a service from the Compute services page, the Service summary tab appears. From here, you can review general service details including the event log, duplicate (clone) service versions so you can edit them, and purge content.

About the Service configuration tab

The Service configuration tab contains the main controls for editing your service configurations. The page allows you to define exactly how each instance of your Compute services should behave and interact with its data sources. Specifically, you can:

• manage the domains used to route requests to a Compute service
• manage the hosts used as backends for a site and how they should be accessed
• manage the health checks that monitor backend hosts
• enable certain Fastly products for the service, if you are assigned the role of superuser or engineer. Note that this will result in changes to your monthly bill.
• specify how logging should be performed and where server logs should be sent
• upload your Compute compatible Wasm packages once you've built them with the Fastly CLI
• view the metadata of your Compute Wasm package
