Querying the List of Attack Events

Function

This API is used to query the attack event list. Currently, this API does not support query of all protection events. The pagesize parameter cannot be set to -1. The larger the data volume, the larger the memory consumption. A maximum of 10,000 data records can be queried. For example, if the number of data records in a user-defined period exceeds 10,000, the data whose page is 101 (or pagesize is greater than 100) cannot be queried. You need to adjust the time range to a longer period and then query the data.
