Viewing Statistics

DDoS attacks are increasing in frequency and complexity. During an attack, massive volumes of data are often distributed across multiple time windows, domain names, and IP assets, making it difficult to perform association analysis.

AAD provides comprehensive attack statistics in the instance and domain name dimensions. You can get DDoS attack traffic information and attack details in real time.

You can adjust your policies based on the statistics to better defend against DDoS and CC attacks, shifting from passive response to proactive, precise defense.

On the Dashboard page, you can check the following details:
  • DDoS Attack Protection

    You can check instance-level reports, including the security overview, traffic trend, protocol distribution, connection counts, attack distribution, security events, and blackhole events in a specified period.

  • CC Attack Protection

    You can check domain-name-level reports, including the number of requests, number of attacks, bandwidth, attack distribution, attack sources, and attack events in a specified period.

Viewing DDoS Attack Protection Statistics

  1. Log in to the AAD console.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Advanced Anti-DDoS > Dashboard. The Dashboard page is displayed.
  3. Click the DDoS Attack Protection tab.
  4. Select an instance, line, and time range (last 24 hours, last 3 days, last 7 days, last 30 days, or a custom period). You can view protection logs within 90 days. Table 1 describes the related parameters.

    Security Events

    Details about DDoS attacks

    • Click Details next to the attack source IP address to view the complete attack source IP address list.
    • Click View Dynamic Blacklist to view the blacklisted IP addresses related to ongoing attack events.
    • Click Export to export the security event report.
    NOTE:

    Note the following points about the attack source field in the DDoS attack event report:

    • The attack sources of ongoing attacks may not be displayed.
    • Some attack events contain only some attack types. Their attack sources are not displayed.
    • Attack sources are sampled randomly. Not all attack source information is displayed.

    Blackhole Events

    Blocked IP address, blocking status, blocking start time, and blocking end time.

    Click Export to export the blackhole event report.

    In the traffic or packet chart on the DDoS Attack Protection page, the display granularity varies according to the query interval. The details are as follows:

    • Query time < 20 minutes: The display granularity is 1 minute.
    • 20 minutes < Query time < 40 minutes: The display granularity is 2 minutes.
    • 40 minutes < Query time < 60 minutes: The display granularity is 3 minutes.
    • 1 hour < Query time ≤ 6 hours: The display granularity is 5 minutes.
    • 6 hours < Query time ≤ 24 hours: The display granularity is 10 minutes.
    • 1 day < Query time ≤ 7 days: The display granularity is 30 minutes.
    • 7 days < Query time ≤ 15 days: The display granularity is 1 hour.
    • 15 days < Query time ≤ 30 days: The display granularity is 14 hours.

Viewing CC Attack Protection Statistics

  1. Log in to the AAD console.
  2. In the navigation pane on the left, choose Advanced Anti-DDoS > Dashboard. The Dashboard page is displayed.
  3. Click the CC Attack Protection tab.
  4. Select a domain name and time range. For details about related parameters, see Table 2.
