# Traffic Overview

## **What is this report for…**

This report shows the value added by the product over a longer time period, highlighting how much has been mitigated, the top sources of traffic and areas of the site that malicious traffic might be most interested in. Currently this report can show data up to the last year, from the date that Netacea first ingests your data.

You can choose to view this report on an individual datastream or endpoint to get site-specific info, or for a more holistic view you have the option of viewing all endpoints concurrently.

### **This will help you to easily identify…**

1. Trends over time relating to malicious requests that Netacea has prevented from hitting your site
2. The source of these threats, on a number of different dimensions (country, org, etc)
3. Understand the long term traffic patterns of Trusted traffic, or Unmanaged traffic (areas of the site that are not currently protected by the Netacea service)&#x20;
4. The ability to filter down to a specific category/path group, and view the above on those terms

## Controls

Controls are a great way of filtering the report to highlight and segment only the information you need to see

These can be managed by:

1. Using the Date Range Picker and Datastream selection controls to filter by time and datastream
2. Using the Control Panel dropdown to select the Category you would like to view. When a category is selected, all reports and charts below will update to reflect the traffic hitting that part of the site.

| **Control Name** | **Options**                                                               |
| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Date range       | Lets you choose your timeframe to report on                               |
