Viewing Web Protection Events

You can search for security events, such as XSS attacks, SQL injection, CC attacks, and user-defined precise protection events in the event list to quickly locate attack sources or analyze attack events.

You can view event data of all protected domain names in the last 30 days.

If you switch the working mode for a website to Suspended, EdgeSec only forwards all requests to the website without inspection. It does not log any attack events neither.

  • If you have enabled enterprise projects, you can select your enterprise project from the Enterprise Project drop-down list and view protection event logs in the project.

Prerequisites

A protected website has been added. For details, see Adding a Website to EdgeSec.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the management console.
  2. Click in the upper left corner of the page and choose Content Delivery & Edge Computing > CDN and Security.
  3. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Edge Security > Statistic. The Statistic page is displayed.
  4. Select a website from the Website drop-down list. You can view protection logs of yesterday, today, past 3 days, past 7 days, past 30 days, or a user-defined time range.

    Auto Refresh: After the function is enabled, the data is refreshed every 30 seconds.
