View SWG statistics for all managed devices

Before you can display statistics in the SWG analytics screen, you must have the following configured:
  • A BIG-IQ data collection device configured for the BIG-IQ device
  • The BIG-IP device located in your network and running a compatible software version
  • To view the SWG Dashboard, statistics collection on the BIG-IP device should be enabled.
    For BIG-IP devices running versions 13.1.0.5 or later, enabling the BIG-IP device's statistics collection may affect the information that appears in the Secure Web Gateway Summary screen (
    Monitoring
    DASHBOARDS
    Access
    Secure Web Gateway
    Secure Web Gateway Summary
    ).
  • For BIG-IP devices running versions 13.1.0.5, or later, you must have AVR provisioned on your BIG-IP device.
View statistics for all traffic managed with Secure Web Gateway (SWG) to ensure that your configured access profile properly secures the users within your network.
