Introduction
The Cisco Web Security Appliance Advanced Reporting application provides reports and dashboards 
that are designed to give insight into very large volumes of data from the Cisco Web Security Appliance. 
The application includes a customized Splunk application and a Splunk server that polls log data 
collected from a Cisco Web Security Appliance. 
The application receives data from a Cisco Web Security Appliance and stores the data in the 
default/main index. It generates summaries and stores them in the summary index. Customers can view 
these data using predefined reports. Customers can also perform ad hoc searches using the flashtimeline 
view and the web tracking forms. 
Version 2.0 of this application was referred to in the documentation as "Splunk Application for Cisco 
Web Security Appliance".
