Using the time-range slider, you can quickly focus on the time and area of activity that you are most interested in. Once the time range is selected, all of the data presented in your view is refreshed automatically. You can also use the Custom button to set a custom time range.
You can select either the Grid View tab or the Chart View tab to view your data:
Grid View—View the comprehensive details of IPS events in a tabular format that includes sortable columns. You can group the IPS events using the Group By option. For example, you can group the events based on source country. The table includes information such as the event name, UTM category, source IP address, source country, and so on. Table 32 describes the fields on the Grid View page.
Chart View—View a brief summary of all the IPS events in your network. The top of the page has a swim lane graph of all the IPS events. You can use the widgets at the bottom of the page to view critical information such as, top sources, top source countries, top destinations, and top destination countries. Table 33 describes the widgets on the Chart View page.
