Viewing the warned activity list

machines protected by the Barracuda Web Filter system. Use this page to view the following
information about each entry in this log:
• Date and time that the warned activity was triggered.
• IP address of the client machine that triggered the warned activity.
• Username that triggered the warned activity. This field indicates whether the user account is
from the local, LDAP or NTLM realm.
• The URL that the user was attempting to access when the warned activity triggered.
• The domain names that triggered the warned activity.

A warned activity remains in effect until it times out (as configured in the
BLOCK/ACCEPT >
Configuration
page) or until it is explicitly removed by the Administrator (using the BASIC > Warned
Activity page). If the user attempts to access the same Web site after a warned activity times out or is
deleted, the user must click the Proceed button to re-acknowledge the warning and then access the
Web site again.
