In order to align CDN logs with player content requests, you will need to configure your video player to send the Datazoom session_id as a query parameter with content requests.

Example:

        videojs.Hls.xhr.beforeRequest = function(options) {
            var myparam = '?datazoom_id=' + (session_id);
            options.uri = options.uri + myparam;
            return options;
        }
