The favorites tab shows the all dashboards marked as favorite (the filled star icon). The first result will be the most recent usage. You can also choose to sort your recent results.

My Dashboards

When you use the ADD DASHBOARD button, you become the owner and author of those dashboards. All dashboards created and authored by you display on the My Dashboards page.

When creating a dashboard, you have the ability to set the dashboard to Public Visibility, otherwise your dashboard remains private.

This setting is found in ADD DASHBOARD > Options.

System

The system tab shows the all system dashboards. The first result will be the most recent usage. You can also choose to sort your recent results.

System Dashboards

The system dashboards are generated by Netography and cannot be modified with adding widgets. The included widgets in each system dashboard can be pushed to global filters (GF), fullscreen sized, printed, and exported as CSV, PNG, and SVG.

The system dashboards can be copied and/or set as a Homepage or Company homepage when viewing the Home option in the left main menu.

Below are the system default dashboards in Netography Fusion:

• 257 Traffic Overvew
• Block List Manager
• File Sharing services
• Homepage
• Live Traffic View
• Security Overview
• Social Media Usage Dashboard
• Traffic Overview
• User Activity

Dashboard Options

You can also add more columns to dashboards such as Block List Manager or User Activity from the top left hamburger button of the table in the respective dashboard. Below is an example from the User Activity dashboard:

Block List Manager

The Block List Manager system dashboard shows the block history based on your blocklist rules and specifications. You can set the result set from 10 listed results and up to 100. The included widgets are Current Blockrate, Blockrate, Top Destination Protocol, Top Destination Ports, and Total Blocks.

In the Block History result table, you can sort results.

Network Overview

The Network Overview system dashboard shows the protocols, country traffic, and source IP AS number. As there are no filtering options, this dashboard is widget based and for visibility of your atomized network. Each pie chart shows the top number by traffic or bitrate. The line charts show alert severity, src ip cardinality, protocols from high risk cc, tags, and port cardinality on a 15 second interval.

Security Overview

The Security Overview dashboard is designed to provide a comprehensive overview of your security posture. It includes several line chart widgets that provide detailed information on various aspects of your network security:

• The Bogon Flows chart displays the number of bogon flows detected by the system. Bogons are IP packets that originate from addresses that are not assigned to any specific organization or are otherwise reserved for special use
• The Source IP Cardinality chart displays the number of unique source IP addresses detected by the system over a specified time period. This information can be used to identify potential threats and to track the spread of attacks.
• The IP Reputation Flows chart displays the number of flows detected by the system that have been associated with known malicious IP addresses. This information can be used to quickly identify potential threats and to take appropriate action.
• The Site chart displays the number of requests made to each site or domain on your network. This information can be used to identify potential security risks and to identify areas where additional monitoring or protection may be needed.
• The Aggregate Risk chart provides an overview of the overall risk level of your network. This chart is based on a number of factors, including the number of alerts generated by the system, the severity of those alerts, and the overall security posture of your network.
• The Source Country chart displays the number of flows originating from each country over a specified time period. This information can be used to identify potential threats originating from specific regions and to take appropriate action to mitigate those threats.
• Threat breakdown - This bar graph provides an overview of the different types of threats detected on your network. It shows the number of incidents related to phishing, proxy, botnets, and windowsexploits. You can use this information to identify the most common types of threats on your network and take appropriate action to mitigate them.
• Port Threat Breakdown - This bar graph is sorted by multiple ports and provides a breakdown of the different types of threats detected on specific ports on your network. This information can help you identify which ports are most vulnerable to attacks and take steps to secure them.
• TCP Flag Distribution - This graph widget provides a distribution of the different types of TCP flags that are being used in your network traffic. It shows the number of incidents related to ACK, PSH, and SYN flags. This information can help you identify suspicious traffic patterns and take appropriate action to prevent attacks.

Social Media Usage Dashboard

The Social Media Usage Dashboard provides valuable insights into the usage of social media platforms by users in your organization. The dashboard contains several line graph widgets that show traffic and duration metrics for various social media platforms:

• The Total Traffic Internal to External by Site line graph widget displays the amount of traffic flowing from internal sites to external sites
• The Total Traffic to Social Media widget shows the total amount of traffic going to social media platforms, while the 'Total Traffic to Social Media by Platform' widget breaks this down by platform.
• The Total Duration to Social Media by Platform widget shows the total duration of time spent on each social media platform.

The remaining line graph widgets show the total traffic to each social media platform by client. This includes LinkedIn, TikTok, Twitter, Meta, Tinder, Discourse, Instagram, and Reddit. By analyzing these metrics, you can gain valuable insights into the usage patterns of social media platforms in your organization and make informed decisions about policies and restrictions.

Traffic Overview

The Traffic Overview Dashboard provides an overview of network traffic with hourly intervals. The dashboard includes six line graph widgets for Bitrate, Source IP Cardinality, Packets Rate, Flow Rate, Site, and Source Country. Additionally, two bar graphs for Protocol breakdown and Port Breakdown, and a scatter plot chart for ACK, PSH, FIN, SYN, and RST.

The line graph widgets display the hourly intervals for the following metrics:

• Bitrate: Displays the amount of data transmitted per second in bits
• Source IP Cardinality: Shows the number of unique source IP addresses
• Packets Rate: Displays the rate at which packets are transmitted per second
• Flow Rate: Shows the rate of data flow per second
• Site: Displays the network traffic by site
• Source Country: Shows the network traffic by source country

Protocol and Port breakdown bar graphs:

• Protocol breakdown: Shows the percentage of network traffic for each protocol type. The protocol types included are TCP, DUP, IMP, and ICMP.
• Port Breakdown: Displays the percentage of network traffic by multiple ports.
  Hovering over over the bars show the percentage value of each protocol type or port.

The TCP Flag Distribution widget displays a scatter plot chart of network traffic for ACK, PSH, FIN, SYN, and RST that can help identify the patterns and anomalies in network traffic.

Audit Log Activity (previously User Activity)

The Audit Log Activity (previously User Activity) Dashboard provides an overview of user activity on the system. The dashboard includes four bar graph widgets for Top Users, Top Classes, Top Actions, and Audits. Additionally, there is a table called Last Events that displays the last events with filters for timestamp, class, subclass, action, user, and description.

The bar graph widgets display the top users, classes, actions, and audits. The data displayed in each widget is as follows:

• Top Users: Shows the users who have performed the most actions.
• Top Classes: Displays the classes that have been accessed the most.
• Top Actions: Shows the most common actions performed on the system.
• Audits: Displays the number of audits performed on the system.
  Each bar graph widget displays the top ten results by default, but the user can adjust the number of results displayed as per their requirement. The user can hover over the bars to see the number of occurrences for each user, class, action, or audit.

The Last Events table displays the latest events that have occurred on the system.
The user can click on any event to view more details.
