Viewing the Dashboard

On the Dashboard page, you can view the protection event logs by website or instance. You can select a specific time range, including yesterday, today, past 3 days, past 7 days, or past 30 days. You can also specify a time range no longer than 30 days. On this page, protection event logs are displayed by different dimensions, including the number of requests and attack types, QPS, bandwidth, response code, event distribution, top 5 attacked domain names, top 5 attack source locations, top 5 error pages, top 5 attack source IP addresses, and top 5 attacked URLs.

Statistics on the Dashboard page are updated every two minutes.

If you have enabled enterprise projects, you can select your enterprise project from the Enterprise Project drop-down list and view security statistics data of the project.

Prerequisites

You have connected a website to WAF.
At least one protection rule has been configured for the domain name.

Specification Limitations

On the Dashboard page, protection data of up to 30 days can be viewed.

How to Calculate QPS

The QPS calculation method varies depending on the time range. For details, see Table 1.

**Table 1** QPS calculation
Time Range	Average QPS Description	Peak QPS Description
Yesterday or Today	The QPS curve is made with the average QPS in every minute.	The QPS curve is made with each peak QPS in every minute.
Past 3 days	The QPS curve is made with the average QPS in every five minutes.	The QPS curve is made with each peak QPS in every five minutes.
Past 7 days	The QPS curve is made with the maximum value among the average QPS in every five minutes at a 10-minute interval.	The QPS curve is made with each peak QPS in every 10 minutes.
Past 30 days	The QPS curve is made with the maximum value among the average QPS in every five minutes at a one-hour interval.	The QPS curve is made with the peak QPS in every hour.

Queries Per Second (QPS) indicates the number of requests per second. For example, an HTTP GET request is also called a query. The number of requests is the total number of requests in a specific time range.

Viewing the Dashboard

Log in to the management console.
Click in the upper left corner of the management console and select a region or project.
Click in the upper left corner and choose Security & Compliance > Web Application Firewall to go to the Dashboard page.
In the upper part of the page, select an enterprise project from the Enterprise Project. drop-down list. Then, you can view the details about websites you add to WAF in the selected enterprise project.
Check resource protection overview in the Protection Overview area.
- You can check how many domain names you have added to WAF, as well as how many of them are accessible and how many of them are inaccessible.
- Product Details: In this area, you can check what WAF resources you have. You can click to go to the Product Details page and view quota details.
Figure 1 Protection Overview

Query security data in the Security Event Statistics area.

By default, protection details about all websites add to all WAF instances in all enterprise projects for the logged-in account are displayed. You can query details by website, instance, and time range. The time range can be yesterday, today, past 3 days, past 7 days, or past 30 days. You can also specify a custom time range that is no longer than 30 days.
You can select Compare or Tile to view data.
By day: You can select this option to view the data gathered by the day. If you leave this option unselected, you have the following options:
- Yesterday and Today: Security event data is gathered every minute.
- Past 3 days: Security event data is gathered every 5 minutes.
- Past 7 days: Security event data is gathered every 10 minutes.
- Past 30 days: Security event data is gathered every hour.

Figure 2 Security Event Statistics

**Table 2** Security Event Statistics
Section	Description
Section 1 shows how many requests, attacks, and attacked pages by attack type over the specified time range.	Requests: shows the page views of the website, making it easy for you to view the total number of pages accessed by visitors in a certain period of time. Attacks: shows how many times the website are attacked. You can view how many pages are attacked by a certain type of attack within a certain period of time. You can click Show Details to view the details about the 10 domain names with the most requests, attacks, and basic web protection, precise protection, CC attack protection, and anti-crawler protection actions.
Section 2 shows more security metrics about requests, QPS, response code, and sent and received bytes.	Requests: You can view how many requests for your website as well as total attacks and attacks of each attack type. QPS: You can learn of the average number of requests per second for the domain name. For details about QPS, see How to Calculate QPS. Queries Per Second (QPS) indicates the number of requests per second. For example, an HTTP GET request is also called a query. Bytes Sent/Received: You can learn how much bandwidth is used for requests to the domain name. The value of sent and received bytes is calculated by adding the values of request_length and upstream_bytes_received by time, so the value is different from the network bandwidth monitored on the EIP. This value is also affected by web page compression, connection reuse, and TCP retransmission. Response Code: Response codes returned by WAF to the client or returned by the origin server to WAF along with the corresponding number of responses. You can click WAF to Client or Origin Server to WAF to view the corresponding information. The number of response codes is accumulated based on the sequence of response codes (from left to right) in the lower part of the chart. The number of response codes is the difference between two lines. If the value of a response code is 0, the line of the response code overlaps that of the previous response code.
