Reporting

The BASIC > Reports page allows you to configure and generate reports of various types, based on all logged information. You can either generate a one-time report or configure the Barracuda Load Balancer ADC to automatically generate the reports on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis. Reports can be emailed to specific email addresses or sent to an FTP server.

The Barracuda Load Balancer ADC reports are classified into following groups:

• Traffic Reports

• Security

• PCI DSS Reports

• Configuration Summary Reports

• Administration/Audit Reports

You can apply a filter to the Security reports and limit a report to specific data. For example, the Attacks By Service report in the Security section displays the services that have been recently attacked. You can further filter these results to examine specific types of attacks by applying the following filter:

1. Go to the BASIC > Reports page.

2. In the Report Options section, click Show Advanced Options.

3. For the Security Filter options, select Attack Type and then select the type of security attack.

4. Scroll down to the Security section, select Attacks By Service and then click Show Report.

Complete the following steps to schedule a report:

1. Go to the BASIC > Reports page.

2. (Optional) In the Report Options section, click Show Advanced Options and configure the Security Filter, Traffic Filter, and Top Count settings.

3. Select the check box(es) next to the report type(s) under the report group (Client Traffic Reports, Service Traffic Reports, Security, Server Traffic Reports, PCI DSS Reports, Config Summary, and Administration/Audit Reports).

4. In the Schedule Report section, specify the following:

   • Report Name - Name for the report

   • Generate Report As - Format for the report (HTML or PDF)

   • Delivery Options - How you want the report to be delivered (Email or FTP)
     As a best practice, use a unique account for this integration point and grant it the least level of privileges required, coordinating with the administrator. This account requires READ/WRITE privileges on the server only for the specific path you indicate in the next field. For additional information, see Security for Integrating with Other Systems - Best Practices.

   • Email ID(s) - Specify who receives the reports

   • Frequency - How frequently you want the report to be generated (Once, Daily, Weekly, or Monthly)

5. Click Apply.

Complete the following steps to delete a scheduled report:

1. Go to the BASIC > Reports page.

2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Delete next to the report you want to remove.
