The Engine: Secure Web Gateway page allows you to monitor the amount of traffic that was permitted or denied by your Secure Web Gateway rules and the action that was taken based on your rule configuration for the selected scope and time period. If it is not already open, complete the following procedure to view the Engine: Secure Web Gateway page: To view the Engine: Secure Web Gateway page Log in to MyAryaka. The Home page appears. Click  Security  >  Monitor  in the left navigation pane. The Security: < siteName > page appears and displays a series of tables and graphs.  Click the  Scope  field and select the site or node for which you want to monitor the Secure Web Gateway security engine. Click the  Time  field and select the time period for which you want to monitor the Secure Web Gateway security engine. Click the  Secure Web Gateway  (SWG) security engine in the Engine Sequencing diagram. The Engine: Secure Web Gateway page appears and displays an Engine Sequencing diagram and a series of graphs, which are described in detail later in this topic. Engine Sequencing diagram The Engine Sequencing diagram displays the security engine that the Secure Web Gateway engine receives traffic from and the engines that it sends traffic to after inspection. Click the source engine to view the  Monitor URL Reputation security engine  page. Click a destination engine to view either the  Monitor Anti-Malware security engine  page or the  Monitor Advanced IPS security engine  page.  The following graphic shows an example of the Secure Web Gateway engine: The red value displayed on the Secure Web Gateway engine indicates the number of requests that were dropped or denied by the engine over the selected time period. Hover over the blue circle to the left of the Secure Web Gateway engine to view the number of inbound requests for the selected time period. Hover over the blue circle to the right of the Secure Web Gateway engine to view the number of outbound requests for the selected time period. Hover over the blue circle below the Secure Web Gateway engine to view the number of outbound requests that skipped further inspection after being inspected by the Secure Web Gateway engine.  Included graphs The sections that follow describe each of the graphs included on the Engine: Secure Web Gateway page. Requests This time series graph displays the total number of HTTP requests, the number of permitted requests, and the number of denied requests for the selected scope over the selected time period. Actions This graph can be displayed as a donut graph (default) or a table and displays the total number of requests where the following actions were taken: Permit—Traffic is permitted and sent to the next security engine for inspection or to its destination.  Drop—Traffic is denied and the client does not receive a response. Log Only—Traffic is permitted and sent to the next security engine for inspection or to its destination. This is intended as a temporary action while you evaluate traffic. After you have evaluated the traffic, update the rule with one of the other actions. Skip All—Traffic is permitted and bypasses all subsequent security engines. Forbidden—Traffic is denied and the client receives a  403 Forbidden  error.  Block—Traffic is denied and the user is presented with the Blocking page. Rule actions are configured in your  Secure Web Gateway rules . Blocked Sites This bar graph displays the top ten licensed sites that had requests blocked during the selected time period.  Blocked Nodes This bar graph displays the top ten private access nodes that had requests blocked during the selected time period.  The Blocked Sites graph is only displayed when the Scope field is Global or All Sites. The Blocked Nodes graph is only displayed when the Scope field is Global or All Nodes. In this topic Related topics Configure a Secure Web Gateway ruleset Monitor security
