Firewall Analyzer Reports

Firewall Analyzer offers a rich set of pre-defined reports that help in analyzing bandwidth

usage and understanding network behavior. On a broad level, reports in Firewall

Analyzer are classified into the following types:

Report

All the above reports can be accessed from the Reports tab. Except the Live Report, all

other reports include links to several sections of the report which can be seen when the

icon, or the report bar itself is clicked. Click on each section to go to the

corresponding section of the report directly, or click the View Report link to view the

entire report with all the sections.

DNS Resolution in Reports

Firewall Analyzer provides an option to configure DNS resolution for all the reports. For

more details refer Configuring DNS Resolution page under the System Settings section.

In each of the individual reports a ResolveDNS link has been provided at the top.

Clicking this link enables DNS Resolution for all the IP Addresses of the unresolved hosts

present in the current report. The status of DNS Resolution depends on the default DNS

lookup time, within which Firewall Analyzer will try to resolve the IP Address. If DNS

Resolution is in progress for any other Firewall Analyzer user, then the subsequent user

will see the message "Please wait, DNS Resolution in progress for another user" when

clicking ResolveDNS link. Once the DNS Resolution is complete for the first user, then

the DNS Resolution for the subsequent user begins automatically.
