Adding elements to a dashboard tab

Use the System tab of the Web Security Dashboard to monitor the status of your deployment. By default, the following dashboard elements are displayed:

Health Alert Summary shows component alert and status messages. If an error or warning appears in the summary, click the alert message to open the Alerts page, where more detailed information is available (see Reviewing current system status).

Information in the Health Alert Summary is updated every 30 seconds.

User Activity: Zoom Trend shows the volume of Internet requests processed into the Log Database in the selected time period.

Click and drag the cursor to select a section of the chart for closer examination. This can be done multiple times to select increasingly narrower time periods for review.

At maximum zoom, a data point is shown for each 10 minute period (for example, 12:00:00, 12:10:00, 12:20:00).

In the chart default (macro) view is shown, each data point may be based on sampling of multiple 10-minute interval data points within the selected area of the chart. As a result, the numbers shown in the macro view may not correlate exactly to the numbers shown when the chart is zoomed in.

Click Zoom Out to return to the previous level of focus.

Click Reset Chart to return to the default level of detail.

Protocol Bandwidth Use shows which protocols are using the most bandwidth in your network.

Filtering Service Status shows the status of each Filtering Service associated with the current Policy Server.

Click the Filtering Service IP address to see more information about that Filtering Service instance, including its Network Agent and Content Gateway connections. See Review Filtering Service details.

(Web Security Gateway Anywhere) Hybrid Bandwidth Summary shows the bandwidth consumed by Internet requests managed by the hybrid service.

(Web Security Gateway Anywhere) Hybrid Requests shows how many requests by users from your organization were permitted and blocked by the hybrid service.
