Context-sensitive dashboards display a variety of informational widgets, such as geographical maps, syslog

reports, bandwidth summaries, top websites accessed or the data that is most relevant to specific users.

Note: Available in Dell SonicWALL GMS only

Data flow activity

Realtime monitoring of IP data flows provide immediate GMS analytics by reporting on applications,

bandwidth usage, and per-user, enabling administrators to anticipate attacks and threats.

Note: Available in Dell SonicWALL GMS only

Global Management System and Analyzer: Sample PDF-generated reportsVirtually all reports available in GMS and Analyzer, including custom reports, can be

scheduled to be sent out in various formats on a periodic basis via email. Following

is a small sample of available reports. Note that the examples only include firewall

reports. However, reports are also available for Dell SonicWALL Continuous Data

Protection (CDP) and Secure Remote Access (SRA) appliances.

PDF reports may include many sub-reports and custom text, in addition to a cover

page and table of contents, which are full customizable. Reports can be generated for

a custom time period (e.g., yearly, last week or on any given time range).

GMS and Analyzer: Sample PDF-generated reports

Web activity by category of web site visited

Dell SonicWALL firewalls can detect what web sites people are

accessing through the firewall. This report shows web activity by

category of web sites visited.

11


Web sites blocked

Dell SonicWALL firewalls can block access to inappropriate web

sites (requires the Dell SonicWALL Content Filtering Service). This

report shows an overview of all blocked web sites.

12


Intrusions blocked

Dell SonicWALL firewalls can block viruses, spyware, intrusions and

other threats (requires the Dell SonicWALL Gateway Anti-Virus,

Anti-Spyware and Intrusion Prevention Service). This report shows

an overview of all blocked intrusions.

13


Gateway viruses

This report details viruses blocked by the firewall.

14


Data usage by initiator

Dell SonicWALL firewalls can detect initiator activity. This report details data

usage by initiator. Initiator IP addresses are always provided. If known, the

initiator host names and user names are also given.

15


Application usage – top applications

Dell SonicWALL firewalls can detect what applications are

generating traffic through the firewall. This report details the

top applications generating traffic.

16


Application usage – top categories

This report shows application usage by category.

17


Application usage – top initiators

This report lists application usage by initiator and when available

by user.

18

Scrutinizer: Sample on-screen reports

19


The customizable user dashboard provides powerful at-a-glance insight into

network performance. Dashboards can be created per user to easily see host status,

outstanding alarms, the top applications, network volume or custom mash-ups that

are relevant to specific users.

Scrutinizer includes many reports developed specifically for Dell SonicWALL firewalls

and for a wide variety of other devices from other hardware vendors. These device

specific summary reports can be included in the dashboard view.

Google® Maps™ integration provides a comprehensive view of the entire network, even

across the globe! Links are color coded and displayed based upon their current status,

making troubleshooting a snap.

This view allows you to drill into individual port interfaces. In addition, there are

specialized reports available for Dell SonicWALL firewalls that export IPFIX.

22


This report provides insight into conversations between source and destination on

well-known ports. The column on the left of the screen shows inbound traffic and the

column on the right of the screen shows outbound traffic.

This report offers the ability to easily click and select a different report type (at

the same moment in time).

25


This report offers the ability to drill into further detail to see the names of the

applications instead of the port name. It offers the option to show bidirectional

traffic or outbound traffic only (this example shows bidirectional traffic). This is a

specific report for Dell SonicWALL firewalls driven by the Dell SonicWALL Application

Intelligence and Control technology.

This report offers the ability to drill into further detail on the screen to see the names

of the applications instead of the port names. It offers the option to show bidirectional

traffic or outbound traffic only (this example shows outbound traffic only). This is a

specific report for Dell SonicWALL firewalls driven by the Dell SonicWALL Application

Intelligence and Control technology.

27


This report, specifically for Dell SonicWALL firewalls, shows outbound application

traffic and the bandwidth that the apps are consuming. In addition, this screen has the

capability to drill down into individual applications to see which users are using the

applications.

This screen shows individuals on the network at that moment in time and the amount

of bandwidth they are consuming. From this screen you can click on the user ID to

see what applications that individual is accessing.

29


This screen shows individuals on the network at that moment in time and the amount

of inbound and outbound bandwidth they are consuming. From this screen you can

click on the user ID to see what applications that individual is accessing. This is a

report is specifically for Dell SonicWALL firewalls.

Analysis of traffic between IP groups

The IT administrator can group IP addresses together in IP groups. IP groups can be

used to identify different offices or departments in the same organization. Using IP

groups, traffic to and from a specific department (for example the sales department

of the engineering department) can be quickly identified. You can also perform an

analysis spanning multiple groups to determine, for example, which group consumes

the most network traffic.

31


Logical network topology maps

This map is a Flash-based logical representation of a network topology. Connections

between network elements can be animated to represent traffic flows and different

connection types. Links can not only show utilization but also represent latency,

packet loss, jitter, and other network metrics. It’s possible to visualize both inbound

and outbound traffic.

32


Flow Hopper

Flow Hopper is an application of Scrutinizer which provides an end-to-end path of the

flow through the network topology. When Flow Hopper determines that a different

route is taken on the return path, the asymmetrical connection path will be drawn out

in the graphical user interface. Administrators can click on each device in the path and

view all details exported in the flow template. Flow Hopper works in a multi-vendor

environment, meaning, an environment where network products from different

hardware vendors are being used. Changes in element values, for example DSCP,

TTL (time to live), octets, etcetera, between ingress and egress metered flows are

highlighted. Using Flow Hopper the source of a jitter, packet loss or latency problem,

or misconfigured network, is much easier to pinpoint resulting in faster root cause

analysis.

Virtually all reports available in Scrutinizer can be exported to PDFs.
