New CMCD key to drive CDN log stream sampling #10

Closed zen-tek closed 2 years ago

zen-tek commented 2 years ago

A suggestion was made in the SVA QoE working group that it might make sense to add a CMCD key that indicates whether or not a cache log line should be included in log streaming to CDN customers. This enables player-driven CDN log sampling for synchronized, whole session sampling. In other words, if a play session is in a sample set for player event log collection, the player could inform the CDN that cache log lines supporting that session should also be streamed to customer -configured end points.

There was some debate about whether or not signaling a CDN to include cache log lines for log streaming fits with the intent around CMCD as a communication mechanism. However, for practical reasons (industry traction, ease of integration), CMCD might be a good fit regardless.

We can get into specifics once we align on whether or not CMCD is the right place for this signal to live.

@Zen-tek - should this be filed against the CMCD repo instead of CMSD ?

Closing this issue. It has been moved over to the CMCD repo.
