About the Domains page

The Domains page gives you access to the Domain Inspector dashboard, which provides real-time and historic visibility into response data for traffic from your domains and subdomains to a Fastly Deliver service. To access the Domains page, go to Observability > Domains.

Before you begin

Domain Inspector is disabled by default. Anyone assigned the role of superuser can enable a 30-day trial directly in the web interface. After the trial expires, Domain Inspector can be purchased for an account by contacting sales@fastly.com. Once purchased, it can be enabled in the web interface by anyone assigned the role of superuser or engineer, which will result in changes to your monthly bill. When Domain Inspector is enabled, any user will be able to view the real-time and historic stats specific to Domain Inspector.
