If the ​SIA​ Proxy is enabled for your enterprise, you can report on all network traffic that is directed to ​SIA​, including suspicious traffic or traffic that bypasses ​SIA​ Proxy. The Network Traffic report logs all connections that are directed to ​SIA​. If traffic was dropped, the connection data reports why.

The organization of traffic or connection data is similar to event data. The following applies:

• Any applied date or data filter defines the data that is shown. You can filter data based on the selected date or date range, the time of day you enter, the area you select in the Time graph, and the actual filters applied to data in the report. You can create a filter where you include or exclude data from the view.

• Connection data that appears on the Network Traffic report is defined by the selected dimension.

  • The Top 6 area lists the top 6 data values for the selected dimension. For example, if you select the Location dimension, the Top 6 Locations are listed.

  • Connection data is grouped by the selected dimension. For example, if you select the Location dimension, this data is organized by specific locations. You can expand a specific location to view the associated connections.

You can perform the these actions in this report:

• View connection details. If you select the information icon beside a connection, connection details appear in a separate window.

• Add data to the filter. You can decide to exclude or include data in the filter.

• View the IoC details for a requested domain. When viewing events based on domain, you can click the information icon and the IoC Details appear in a separate window.

• Download CSV with aggregate data. You can download a CSV that contains the total number of queries based on the dimension you selected. For example, if you selected Domain as the dimension for organizing and viewing data in the report, the CSV shows the total number of queries for each domain.

If you are a delegated administrator, the data that appears in this report is based on the locations you created and are allowed to access. A strict delegated administrator cannot view the Network Traffic report.

Filter network traffic data

To filter network traffic data:

1. In the Threat Protection menu of Enterprise Center, select Reports > Network Traffic.

2. To filter data based on date and time, see Filter data based on date and time.

3. To configure and apply a filter, see Configure and apply a filter.

4. To further narrow the date and time that you want to report on, move the slider handles of the provided graph to select the desired area or the date and time you want to focus on. For example, you may want to focus on the time when the most traffic occurred.

5. Select a dimension or criteria to define what data is shown.

6. To hide data shown in the top 6 area, click one of top 6 items. This data is hidden from the Top 6 graph. Likewise, you can click it again to show this data in the graph.

7. To search for network connections that are grouped by the selected dimension, see Search for network traffic connections.

Search for network traffic connections

You can search for network connections in the Network Traffic report. Traffic data appears based on applied filters and the dimension or criteria you select. Search functionality is available to locate specific data in the Connections area.

To search for network traffic connections:

1. In the Threat Protection menu of Enterprise Center, select Reports > Network Traffic.

2. To filter data based on date and time, see Filter data based on date and time.

3. To configure and apply a filter, see Configure and apply a filter.

4. Select a dimension or criteria to define what data is shown.

5. In the search field provided for grouped values, enter the dimension or criteria value. For example, if you select to show data based on domain, this means that events are grouped by domain. In this case, you would enter a domain.

6. To search all connections associated with the dimension you selected, click the arrow icon for all filtered connections. For example, if you selected Destination Ports as a dimension, the All Destination Ports group is available and includes all destinations ports for all connections. All connection information appears in a table format. Go to step 8.

7. To search for a specific event that is part of a dimension group, click the arrow icon associated with the dimension value. For example, if events are grouped by destination port, this action shows connections that are associated with a specific destination port. A list of connections appear in a table format.

8. In the provided search field, enter a data value that is associated with the connection. For example, you can enter the location, connection start time, end time, and more. The value you search for should match a value in one of the table columns.

View connection details

In the Network Traffic report, you can view detailed information about traffic that was allowed or dropped by ​Secure Internet Access Enterprise​.

To view connection details:

1. In the Threat Protection menu of Enterprise Center, select Reports > Network Traffic.

2. Filter events as needed. For more information see Filter data based on date and time and Filter network traffic data.

3. If you haven't done so already, select a dimension.

4. In the list of grouped events, click the arrow icon that is associated with a dimension value. For example, if you selected Domain, click the arrow icon to see the associated traffic. Logged connections appear in a table format.

5. Click the information button. Connection details appear in a separate window. You can use the arrow keys on your keyboard to navigate to other connections in the table and show details.

Add or remove data columns to connection or activity data tables

On the DNS Activity, Proxy Activity, and the Network Traffic tabs of the Activity page, you can add or remove data that appears in the connections or activity data tables. The modifications you make to an individual table apply to all connection and activity tables you view.

📘

You need to be an ​SIA​ administrator or a user with a specific permission to view the DNS Activity or Proxy Activity reports. For more information, see Roles.

To add or remove data columns to connection or activity data tables:

2. Select one of these:

   • For data on DNS traffic directed to ​SIA​, select DNS Activity.

   • For data on traffic directed to ​SIA​ Proxy, select Proxy Activity.

   • For data on traffic directed to ​SIA​, select Network Traffic.

3. Filter events as needed. For more information see Filter data based on date and time. Depending on the data you are filtering, do one of these steps:

   • If you are filtering data on the DNS Activity tab, see Filter DNS activity data.

   • If you are filtering data on the Proxy Activity tab, see Filter proxy activity data.

   • If you are filtering data on the Network Traffic tab, see Filter network traffic data.

4. If you haven't done so already, select a dimension or criteria.

5. To add a data column to the connections or activity data table:

   1. In the grouped connections area on the page, click the table icon. A list of additional attributes appear.
