Web Interaction Tracking Page

  • Web Interaction Tracking report modules are populated only if the Web Interaction Tracking feature is enabled on managed Email Security appliances.
  • Web Interaction Tracking reports are available for incoming and outgoing messages.
  • Only rewritten URLs (either by policy or Outbreak Filter) clicked by the end users are included in these modules.
  • Web Interaction Tracking page includes the following reports:
    Top Rewritten Malicious URLs clicked by End Users. Click on a URL to view a detailed report that contains the following information:
    • A list of end users who clicked on the rewritten malicious URL.
    • Date and time at which the URL was clicked.
    • Whether the URL was rewritten by a policy or an outbreak filter.
    • Action taken (allow, block, or unknown) when the rewritten URL was clicked. Note that, if a URL was rewritten by outbreak filter and the final verdict is unavailable, the status is shown as unknown.
      Note

      Due to a limitation, status of all outbreak rewritten URLs are shown as unknown.

    Top End Users who clicked on Rewritten Malicious URLs

    Tracking Web Interaction Details. Includes the following information:
    • A list of all the rewritten URLs (malicious and unmalicious). Click on a URL to view a detailed report.
    • Action taken (allow, block, or unknown) when a rewritten URL was clicked.

      If the verdict of a URL (clean or malicious) was unknown at the time when the end user clicked it, the status is shown as unknown. This could be because the URL was under further scrutiny or the web server was down or not reachable at the time of the user click.

    • The number of times end users clicked on a rewritten URL. Click a number to view a list of all messages that contain the clicked URL.
  • Note the following:
    • If you have configured a content or message filter to deliver messages after rewriting malicious URLs and notify another user (for example, an administrator), the web interaction tracking data for the original recipient is incremented if the notified user clicks on the rewritten URLs.
    • If you are sending a copy of quarantined messages containing rewritten URLs to a user other than the original recipient (for example, to an administrator) using the web interface, the web interaction tracking data for the original recipient is incremented if the other user clicks on the rewritten URLs.
