The WAF Analytics dashboard provides visibility into security events detected and mitigated by the edge security services.
It highlights key metrics such as blocked requests, rule matches, and traffic trends over time. These insights help you monitor potential threats, understand how security services are protecting your applications, and adjust your security policies as needed.
The Analytics page is divided into three main sections:
- Traffic Graph – Visualizes the volume of incoming requests over time, helping you identify traffic spikes and trends that may indicate attacks or unusual activity.
- Top Stats – Summarizes key metrics, such as blocked requests, rule hits, and other high-level statistics, providing a quick overview of WAF activity and performance.
- Sampled Logs – Displays a selection of detailed request logs, allowing you to investigate specific events, verify rule enforcement, and analyze potentially malicious traffic.
