Config & ops
Analytics
Traffic overview, security events, and live dashboard metrics.
Goal
Use analytics to validate WAF and rate-limit changes.
Prerequisites
analytics.read.- Proxy emitting metrics (always-on middleware; Redis or HTTP batch ingest).
Steps
- Open Overview → Analytics.
- Inspect overview, timeseries, and top paths/IPs.
- Open Security events after Detect/Enforce changes.
- Use live views (SignalR hub) when troubleshooting active incidents.
What the Proxy records
Counters for allowed/blocked, latency, bandwidth, status, path, IP, attack type—plus sampled security events on deny paths. Analytics failures fail open and never break requests.
Verify
- Generate known traffic; dashboards move within a minute.
- Blocked lab requests appear as security events.
