Reporting

Web Protection monitors internet traffic on a device. It uploads that information to the All Devices view, where it appears in the Web tab in the South-pane and in Web Protection Reports.

You might not want to expose certain URLs or IP addresses in the All Devices view because this can create security or confidentiality risks. In the Reporting section, you can exclude URLs or IP addresses from the Web tab in the South-pane.

To exclude URLs or IP addresses from the Web tab in the South-pane:

1. In the Reporting section, select Add.

   

2. Enter the URL or IP address in the URL field.

   You must use the Supported URL and IP address formats.

3. (Optional) Select the search icon to view the categorization and reputation.
4. If the categorization is incorrect, report the error.
5. Select the confirm icon to add the entry. The system clears the field so you can add another entry.
6. Repeat as needed.
7. Select Save.
8. Verify that the new entries appear in the list.

To manage existing entries:

1. Select an item in the list.
2. Select Edit to update it, or Remove to delete it.

Supported URL and IP address formats

Use the following formats when you enter URLs or IP addresses:

URL format

• Use a three-part domain format (for example, www.name.com) for HTTP or HTTPS URLs.
• Use an asterisk wildcard only at the start of the URL string (for example, *.name.com).

IP address format

• Use a four-part format (for example, 57.73.181.555).
• To specify a range of IP address, use one of the following methods:
  • CIDR notation (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) (for example, 141.138.130.12/24)
  • Two IP addresses separated by a hyphen (for example, 192.168.0.0-192.168.255.255)
