Administrator Help | Forcepoint Web Security and Forcepoint URL Filtering | v8.5.x
Use the Status > Alerts page to find information about problems affecting the health of your web protection software, get troubleshooting help, and review the details of recent real-time updates to the Forcepoint URL Database.
The Active Alerts list shows the status of monitored web protection software components.
*
For detailed information about which components are monitored, click What is monitored? above the list of alert messages.
*
To troubleshoot a problem, click the Solutions button next to the error or warning message.
*
To hide an alert message, click Hide Persistent Alerts. If your organization does not use Log Server, Network Agent, or User Service, or if you do not plan to enable WebCatcher, mark the appropriate check box in the Hide Alert column of the table. Alerts associated with the selected service are no longer displayed.
The Real-Time Database Updates list provides information about emergency updates to the Forcepoint URL Database, showing:
*
When the update occurred
*
The update type
*
The new database version number
*
The reason for the update
*
The IP address of the Filtering Service instance that received the update
These supplemental updates occur in addition to regular, scheduled Forcepoint URL Database updates, and can be used, for example, to recategorize a site that has been temporarily miscategorized. Web protection software checks for database updates every hour.
The Real-Time Security Updates list has the same format as the Real-Time Database Updates list, but specifically shows security-related database updates.
Installing security updates as soon as they are created eliminates vulnerability to threats such as new phishing (identity fraud) scams, rogue applications, or malicious code infecting a mainstream website or application.
