Install Akamai Cli

[Jules Altier]

TheAkamai command-line interface (CLI) is a powerful and extensible toolkit that allows you to manage and configure Akamai's platform and products directly from the command line. With its simple package-management features, Akamai CLI makes it easy to customize your experience by installing new capabilities to meet your needs.

Akamai CLI's base package doesn't have any dependencies and is quick to install. However, you may need an additional runtime for packages depending on the programming language they're based on. Choose your preferred installation method.

Linux and macOS. Once you download the appropriate binary for your system, make it executable and move it to a directory you have write access to. Optionally, you can add the directory to your $PATH environment variable. Run these commands:

Akamai CLI packages reference an .edgerc file for EdgeGrid authentication. By default, the CLIs look for these credentials in your $HOME directory. You can override both the file location and the credentials section by passing the --edgerc or --section flags in each command.

Unless you installed Akamai CLI with Homebrew, you can enable automatic check for updates. When you run it for the first time, the CLI asks if you want to enable automatic upgrades. If you do not agree, last-upgrade-check=ignore is set in the .akamai-cli/config file. Otherwise, if a new version is available, the CLI prompts you to download it.

If your .edgrc file has more than one credential set separated with a [header], use the section = argument to specify which section from the configuration file contains the desired credentials for your API request.

Check the requirements.txt file along with the project code into your repository.

If you, or another developer, add functionality that requires a new library, you'll add it to this requirements.txt file. That way, when other developers pull the update from the source code repository, they'll be aware of the new dependencies and able to install them easily.

I just downloaded photoshop elements 12 bundle and when downloading it gave me the choice of using Akamai NetSession Client or other, so I used Akamai. After installation of photoshop elements, no problem. After installation of premiere elements, a notice came up from Window Security Alert advising a firewall has blocked features of the program. Is Akamai NetSession safe?

That's great to hear. The corrupt files issue is interesting. When I had initially downloaded photoshop with this program I had to duplicate the albums in the category the system had converted because I could no longer remove photos from the album. I'm thinking it's best to download using the alternate choice and delete the previous downloads with Akamai if I don't need to work with the slow connection and hopefully avoid having to change all of my albums with the different categories.

The NetSession Interface is protected and doesn't contain any spyware, adware, or infections. As per the designers, the product doesn't ...I got a security alert Windows, illuminating them that Windows Firewall has hindered a few highlights of Akamai NetSession Client on open ...

I have found that use of the Akamai NetSession Interface is prone to firewalls issues whether the download is Firefox or Internet Explorer. And, if I am forced to use it, I make sure that I disable the antivirus and firewalls before use.

The Akamai NetSession Interface is a secure application that may be installed on your computer to improve the speed, reliability, and efficiency for downloads and streams from the Internet. It is used by many software and media publishers to deliver files or streams to you.

So if you install NetSession, you will be joining a peer-to-peer network, and allowing Akamai to deliver files from your computer at times when Akamai deems you to be utilizing your bandwidth minimally.

Akamai Net session allows you to transfer files seamlessly. There is no Physical connection to your PC but, it is more like a Door Way into a virtual Storage pit that your computer transfers files to and from.

Hi,

We need to setup Splunk app for Akamai in our environment, But I am unable to do so following the Splunk documentation. I am unable to understand some of the steps.

Kindly help. I don't need the Splunk documentation's links. If someone who has done it can help, that would be really appreciated.

We have 1 search head, 2 indexers and >50 forwarders in our environment.

Install Akamai App and Add-on on your search head and enable 'akamai-cp_codes-lookup_gen' saved search by clicking on settings->Searches, reports, and alerts to avoid any warnings and you should see a built-in Dashboard visualization for Akamai. You can modify the dashboard panels as per your requirement.

Even I am getting 401 error on Akamai side.When sending data.I can not even look through any of the logs.X-splunk-request channel is necessary for 7.1.2 ,because I saw in the documentation that it is not necessary for greater than 6.7

Property Manager CLI v2 lets you make configuration changes locally and automate the deployment of Akamai property changes across one or many local environments. It replaces Property Manager CLI v1, which has been deprecated.

Better manage updates to your properties. You can break down your property configuration locally into small, client-side files, or snippets. For example, you can have separate snippets for individual rules and behaviors. Different teams can own specific snippets and independently update Property Manager. Managing your properties this way gives you more flexibility and can help reduce merge conflicts.

Customize variable definitions between environments. If you want to use one variable value in a development environment and try out a different value in a test environment, you can add a custom variable to your Property Manager CLI template files.

Property management with snippets. Use this workflow to make configuration changes for a property locally. With it, you can break down parts of your Propery Manager configuration into smaller files called snippets. Different teams own specific parts of the configuration, and deploy updates without waiting for others.

Akamai Pipeline. Use this workflow to set up configuration templates and create an automated pipeline. You use the pipeline to deploy Property Manager changes to your various environments.

Verify that the /config-snippets folder contains a separate JSON-based configuration snippet for each rule in your property configuration.

In this folder, the main.json file ties all the snippets together. It lists the available snippets and contains the local permissions for each snippet.

Edit the snippets as needed to reflect the rule changes you want to deploy.

If another team owns a snippet, once they make their changes locally, they can copy it into the /config-snippets folder.

Run the akamai property-manager activate command to activate the latest version of the property. This command syncs the local changes in your /config-snippets directory to the Akamai network. Once activation is complete, you can verify changes in the Property Manager UI.

To retrieve all updates from the latest property version, run this command: akamai property-manager update-local -p .

The update-local command overrides any locally-saved configuration version with the latest active property version.

To get the JSON syntax for these rules, open the property version in the Property Manager application, select a rule, and click View Rule JSON to display the syntax. You can then copy the JSON and create a new snippet for the rule.

With this CLI, you can create Standard Transport Layer Security (TLS), Enhanced TLS, and shared certificate edge hostnames. To create secure TLS hostnames, you can use a CPS managed certificate or a default certificate, one managed by Property Manager.

Check the entry in the cnameTo field. For a new hostname, make sure no existing hostnames already have the name and include the correct domain suffix. To reuse an existing hostname, make sure cnameTo matches the hostname name exactly and also enter the id.

To reuse an edge hostname with your pipeline, simply add the existing edge hostname to your hostnames.json file. You can also create a new edge hostname in Property Manager and add it to your hostnames.json file.

Docker containers are ephemeral and will only run for as long as the command (PID 1) inside them stays running. To allow you to re-use the same container we use akamai --daemon to ensure it continues running indefinitely inside the container.

In order to install the Akamai Connector for Varnish, you first need to setupaccess to the connector repo. If you have not already done so, please contactsupport at sup...@varnish-software.com to get assistance with repo setup.

Each subroutines need to be called in the appropriate sub vcl_* subroutine asspecified in the 2nd part of the name. For example, akamai_deliver_edge_controlneeds to be called in sub vcl_deliver. If multiple subroutines have the samefunctionality label, as specified by the 3rd part of the name, each one needsto be invoked. For example, both akamai_recv_esi and akamai_deliver_esineed to be called to integrate ESI with Akamai.
