Intro

The AppNexus Log Level Data service (formerly known as the Data Siphon Service) allows users to retrieve and track feeds of log-level event data that include dimensions not available in the AppNexus Console or via the API Report Service. To learn more about the AppNexus Log Level Data API, visit their page (https://wiki.appnexus.com/display/api/ ). You connect to your AppNexus Log Level Data account in the Data Center. This topic discusses the fields and menus that are specific to the AppNexus Log Level Data connector user interface. General information for adding DataSets, setting update schedules, and editing DataSet information is discussed in Adding a DataSet Using a Connector.
