Measures reported by CyberFwWebHitsTest

The Cyberoam firewall is capable of handling traffic generated by various protocols such as HTTP, HTTPs, SMTP, FTP, etc. In large environments, administrators may want to identify the protocol that transfers maximum number of requests to the infrastructure through the target firewall. This can be easily achieved using the Cyberoam Firewall Wb Hits test!

This test auto-discovers the protocols that are communicating with the IT infrastructure through the Cyberoam firewall and for each protocol, reports the number of hits transferred by each protocol. This way, administrators can easily figure out the protocol and block the requests from that protocol, if necessary.

Outputs of the test : One set of results for each protocol communicating with the Cyberoam Firewall being monitored.

Descriptor of the test : Protocol

The measures made by this test are as follows:

Measurement Description Measurement Unit Interpretation
Web_hits Indicates the number of hits transferred through the firewall by this protocol during the last measurement period. Number Compare the value of this measure across the protocols to find out the protocol that transferred maximum number of requests through the firewall.
