Overview Page
The Overview report page provides a synopsis of the activity on your Web Security appliances. It includes graphs and summary tables for the incoming and outgoing transactions.
To view the Overview report page, select Web from the Product drop-down and choose Monitoring > Overview from the Reports drop-down. For more information, see Using the Interactive Report Pages.
At a high level the Overview report page shows you statistics about the URL and User usage, Web Proxy activity, and various transaction summaries. The transaction summaries gives you further trending details on, for example suspect transactions, and right across from this graph, how many of those suspect transactions are blocked and in what manner they are being blocked.
The lower half of the Overview report page is about usage. That is, the top URL categories being viewed, the top application types and categories that are being blocked, and the top users that are generating these blocks or warnings.
