The Secure Web Gateway (SWG) overview provides multiple reports and charts that summarize the top requests, such as top URLs, top categories by blocked request count, top users by permitted request count or by blocked request count, and so on. The overview can be customized to show the specific type of data that you are interested in.

In addition to the reports and charts on the overview, SWG provides the All Requests and Blocked Requests reports and charts. The reports can be filtered to show the information that you want to see.

1. On the Main tab, click Access > Overview > SWG Reports > Settings .
   The Report Settings screen displays.
2. To enable statistics gathering, select the Collect Data check box.
   If you clear the check box, data collection stops.
3. To enable dynamic data sampling, select the Sample Data check box.
   In exchange for a performance gain, data sampling might provide slightly inaccurate statistics. If statistics must be more accurate, then disable data sampling.

1. On the Main tab, click Access Policy > Secure Web Gateway > Overview .
   Note: The Overview is available only on a BIG-IP^® system with an SWG subscription.
   The Overview screen displays.
2. From the Override time range to list, select a new time frame to apply to all of the widgets in the overview.
   Tip: Within each widget you can override the default time range, as needed.
3. For each widget, select the data format and the time range to display, as needed.
4. To focus on the specific details you want more information about, click the chart or the View Details link.
   The system refreshes the charts and displays information about the item.
5. From the View By list, select the specific network object type for which you want to display statistics.
   You can also click Expand Advanced Filters to filter the information that displays.
6. On the screen, the system displays the path you followed to reach the current display, including the items you clicked. For example, to review details for the top categories, follow these steps:
   1. In the Top categories by Request Count chart, click the category that interests you.
      Assume that your URL filters allow access to some news and media sites and that News and Media is among the top categories. Click News and Media.
      Charts display the request count per action over time and the request count per action. A details table lists the request count for allowed actions.
   2. In the View By list, select URLs.
      Charts update and a list of URLs displays in the details table. These are the top news and media URLs.
   3. To see which filter allowed this URL, from here you can continue to drill down successively by clicking a link in each details table that displays. As an alternative to drilling down, you can select any of the statistics displayed on the View By list; for example you can select URL Filter directly.
   The Overview charts display summarized data. You might notice as you drill down that details display on the Reports screen.

Secure Web Gateway (SWG) is configured to produce reports and charts.

The system updates the statistics for charts and reports at five minute intervals: at five minutes after the hour, ten minutes after the hour, and so on. Each five-minute mark includes data from the previous five minutes; so 12:45 includes data starting from 12:40:01 to 12:45:00.

Charts and data that you export from charts reflect the publishing interval of five minutes. For example, if you request data for the time period 12:40-13:40, the data in the chart or in the file that you export is for that time period. But if there is a request for data from 12:42-13:42, the data in the chart is from 12:45-13:45. By default, the BIG-IP^® system displays one hour of data.

Secure Web Gateway (SWG) reports and charts for weekly, monthly, and yearly time ranges include statistics up through the previously completed hour. The system performs hourly updates to the aggregated statistics.

Secure Web Gateway (SWG) reports display statistical information about web traffic on your system. These details are available:

Actions

Action (allowed, blocked, or confirmed) taken on the URL request.

Client IP address

IP address from which the request for the URL originated.

Host Name

When available, host name from which the request for the URL originated.

Categories

Name of the preconfigured or custom URL category into which a requested URL falls.

URLs

Requested URL.

URL filters

Name of the URL filter SWG applied to the request based on the schedule in the scheme.

Security categories

The security category of the URL if it was blocked, because it matched a security category.

Note: Security categories are available on a BIG-IP^® system with an SWG subscription.

Users

Name of the user that made the request, if available.

Note: Configuring your system to identify users is optional.

SSL bypass

Whether the request was bypassed (yes or no).

Note: Configuring your system to omit certain SSL traffic from inspection is optional.
