Best thing we have is raw access logs from CDN edge. The question is how to consume them.

@ewdurbin It's one of those things that bugs me a bit, as I find it hard to believe this is a novel problem to face, but my attempts to find any discussions of good ways to go about it don't turn up anything useful :P

@miss-islington

@ncoghlan: Status check is done, and it's a success ✅ .
