What's new with Cloud Reporting?

Updated 1 year ago by admin

The Cloud Reporting toggle was removed at the end of January 2023. This article is for reference only.

The next generation of the Unified Security Service logging platform is known as "Cloud Reporting" and during the last quarter of 2022, customers may notice a new "Cloud Reporting" toggle appear in their dashboard. The aim of the Cloud Reporting platform is to migrate data to a regionalised ElasticSearch powered data lake for faster performance and to support future data analytics features.

Customers will be migrated automatically to Cloud Reporting, however early migration can be requested by contacting your Service Provider.

This article outlines the changes that have been introduced in the Analytics section with the Cloud Reporting toggle. Continual enhancements will be rolled out automatically.

General

  • Faster querying of large datasets
  • Faster processing of downloads and schedules (see Schedules section below)
  • Pagination - this has been replaced with a forward and back navigation. ElasticSearch/NoSQL works using cursors rather than the concept of paging. In the near future, this navigation will be replaced with an "infinite scroll" experience. As an alternative to paging, consider using more specific time period filters or sorting on columns to see first and last pages.

Web Security

Web Activity (Hits)
  • The "Username" filter has been extended to support a picker, or free-form typing of usernames (press enter to confirm the entry). This is now compatible with UPN style usernames.
  • A new "AD Groups" filter has been added to allow searching of web hits by Active Directory group membership.
  • A new "AD domain" filter has been added rather than having to specify the domain name as part of the "Username" filter.
  • The "MIME Category", "MIME Type" and "Malware" filters have been replaced with "Response Category" and "Response Pattern" filters. These are more generic and will support more scanners than MIME and Malware going forwards.
  • The "Img Certainty (%)" field has been removed.
Web Activity (Visits)
  • This report is under review. It is likely to be replaced in the near future with the option to create a "Summary" report for web hits.
Web Activity by Category
  • This is part of the Extended Web Reports add-on which is End of Life. The report will be replaced in the near future if there is sufficient demand.

Cloud Activity (Inline)

  • The same "Username", "AD Groups" and "AD Domains" filters as described for "Web Security by Hits" above.
  • New "Baseline Risk" and "Custom Risk" filters to search for SaaS activity by risk level.

Email Activity

  • Added recipient level delivery status to "Message Details" window.

Authentication Activity

  • Now available

IDaaS Activity

  • Coming soon

Schedules

  • Existing schedules that have been active in the last 45 days and their associated saved reports will be automatically migrated
  • Please review any other saved reports and migrate them manually or seek assistance from your service provider
  • Combined Reports - can be created but scheduling is coming soon
