URL Categories Report
The Web > Reporting > URL Categories page can be used to view the URL categories of sites that users on your system are visiting.
From the URL Categories page, you can view the following information:

Description |
---|---|
Time Range (drop-down list) |
Choose the time range for your report. For more information, see the Choosing a Time Range for Reports. |
Top URL Categories by Total Transactions |
This section lists the top URL Categories that are being visited on the site in a graph format. |
Top URL Categories by Blocked and Warned Transactions |
This section lists the top URL that triggered a block or warning action to occur per transaction in a graph format. For example, a user went to a certain URL and because of a specific policy that is in place, this triggered a block action or a warning. This URL then gets listed in this graph as a transaction blocked or warning. |
URL Categories Matched |
The URL Categories Matched section shows the disposition of transactions by URL category during the specified time range, plus bandwidth used and time spent in each category. If there are a large number of unclassified URLs, see Reducing Uncategorized URLs. |
URL Filtering Bypassed |
Represents policy, port, and admin user agent blocking that occurs before URL filtering. |
