Real-Time Attack Telemetry
The Attack Logs tab provides deep visibility into the malicious traffic targeting your IP addresses. Understanding these logs helps you verify that mitigation is working and identify the types of attacks being neutralized.

Understanding Metrics
When an attack is detected, the log provides several technical data points:
- Peak (Mbps): The highest volumetric bandwidth used in the attack (Size).
- Peak (PPS): The highest number of Packets Per Second (Intensity).
- Severity: A rating indicating how large the attack is compared to normal traffic.
- Duration: How long the mitigation engine remained in an “Active” state.
Attack Status Levels
Every log entry has a status icon to help you prioritize your review:
- Active: An attack is currently being mitigated in real-time.
- Finished: The attack has stopped, and the IP is no longer under mitigation stress.
- Mitigated: The traffic was successfully scrubbed, and no malicious packets reached your server.
Filtering Logs
If you manage multiple services, you can filter the logs to find relevant data:
- Target IP: Filter logs for a single specific IP address.
- Date Range: View logs from the last hour, 24 hours, or current month.
- Severity Filter: Only view “High” severity events to focus on major incidents.
Exporting Data
Attack logs are stored for up to 30 days. If you need to keep logs for insurance or reporting purposes, we recommend taking screenshots or recording the telemetry during major events.
