Advanced Web Security Reporting lets you define custom searches of the available access, SOCKS and
AMP log data, displaying the results of each search separately. This process is also known as “filtering.”
As much as possible this filtering is consistent with the native reporting of the Web Security Appliance.
Each custom search is displayed on its own page or “panel,” which you can save for future access.

The Advanced Web Security Reporting application also provides a number predefined searches, which
you can choose to view at any time. These existing searches, as well as any saved filters, are referred to
as “dashboards”; in fact, saved filters are accessed via the Custom Dashboards menu. Further, the pages
or panels on which these searches are displayed are also sometimes referred to as dashboards.

Note

Data presented using Advanced Web Security Reporting may show more information than is available
through the Web Security Appliance alone.

Viewing Dashboards

Before You Begin

Advanced Web Security Reporting administrators can control the Web Security appliances (hosts) that
you see on the various dashboards. Contact your Advanced Web Security Reporting administrator with
details of any hosts you would like to add, remove, or rename.
