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

  • For BIG-IP devices running versions 13.1.0.5, or later, you must have AVR provisioned on your BIG-IP device.

Getting the details that underlie an SWG report

Before BIG-IQ can display Access report data for a managed BIG-IP device, you must first complete the following tasks:
  • Add the managed BIG-IP device to the BIG-IQ Centralized Management inventory
  • Discover and import the managed BIG-IP device
  • Have a BIG-IQ user enable Access remote logging configuration on the managed BIG-IP device
To discover and import a configuration and deploy configurations to a managed BIG-IP device, users must belong to one of the following RBAC roles:
  • Admin
  • Access Manager
  • Access Deployer
Only a device with SWG provisioned on it can provide data for SWG reports.
From the Summary report, the initial display includes graphs that summarize the report data. You can get more detailed information by clicking a bar or a point on a graph to see additional graphs and tables with supporting entries.
