Hi there,

`status` field was changed to `action` after FAZ 5.0.7.

For FOS 5.0 log, please query traffic log use utmaction!='blocked' for allowed traffic

For FOS 5.2&4.3 log, please query webfilter log and use action!='blocked' for allowed traffic

To generate a report based on the blocked URL's and source user, please try:

select hostname, user_src, sum(requests) as requests from (###(select hostname, coalesce(nullifna(`user`), ipstr(`srcip`)) as user_src, count(*) as requests from $log-traffic where $filter and logid_to_int(logid) not in (4, 7, 14) and utmevent in ('webfilter', 'banned-word', 'web-content', 'command-block', 'script-filter') and hostname is not null and utmaction='blocked' group by hostname, user_src order by requests desc)### union all ###(select hostname, coalesce(nullifna(`user`), ipstr(`srcip`)) as user_src, count(*) as requests from $log-webfilter where $filter and (eventtype is null or logver = 52) and action='blocked' group by hostname, user_src order by requests desc)###) t group by hostname, user_src order by requests desc

This dataset should work for 4.3,5.0&5.2 log

Regards,

hz

hi ede thanks for your attention. I guess it was rectified already. I should use Traffic Logs Under Log Type rather than selecting App Control

Fullmoon, do let me know if you still require assistance producing those reports. I will check with the forum admins if we can have a sticky capability in here for those posts that may contain good reports.

hi mnantel, for a favor pls provide 2 sets of datasets 1.)Top Allowed Applications including users/ip,including timestamps 2.) Top Block Applications inlcuding users/ip. thank you very much!

I cannot provide a Top at the same time as providing you with a timestamp, unless you intend to view the top *individual* sessions. Is that your objective? Let me give you an example of why this isn' t effective: BitTorrent. Bundled together, all bit torrent individual transfers will result in large amounts of bandwidth and yet individually, not so much.

hi mnantel, is this feasible on your part? 1.) Top Allowed Applications including users/ip 2.) Top Block Applications inlcuding users/ip

Yes, this is rather simplistic, and already on some of our default reports. Did you see my previous question?

If you can provide these including top *individuals* with their sessions then much appreciated on my part. 1.) Top Allowed Applications including users/ip 2.) Top Block Applications inlcuding users/ip

Fullmoon, For individuals sessions, there cannot be a Top as I am going to list you each session independently - by Top, do you mean me to sort them by bandwidth? Top Blocked however, what do you want exactly? Each single instance of a blocked app, with timestamp, is going to require a very very long list as there is no sorting possibility, as opposed to Top Allowed in which I have bandwidth. When we block applications, there is by definition not going to be any bandwidth amount allowed, right?

are we clear for 1.) Top Allowed Applications including users/ip ? Top Block Applications means user/s tried to use or access block applications (torrent,Facebook,games,proxies) even though they knew these applications are blocked already. Is the possible to generate? hope you get my point. apology if my request not clear on your part

1) is indeed clear! We can do a graph for blocked apps, but I won' t include the timestamp or you will have an excruciatingly long list. What I propose for the blocked is to sort it by largest count of attempts blocked, and then to list you the sourceip/user, app, app category. This way you have your top offenders in a relatively concise manner. I can give you a listing of 10, 100 or 500 records for this - its really up to you. Does this makes sense?
