To view the number of attacks between a specific source-destination pair, locate the
Source Address 63.172.115.190 and Destination Address 63.172.115.6, then find the cell

Source-Destination pair, as shown in Figure 113 on page 785.

This high value (140) reflects the number of attack log entries that have occurred between
these two IP addresses.
Investigating Log Entry Data
After you have configured the Log Investigator options and set filters as desired, you are

subcategory, or destination port) for that axis relates to the other axis during a specific
time period. Typically, reviewing a row or column in the matrix helps you analyze all events
for a single data type.
For example, to investigate a sudden drop in performance on a specific destination, set
the Left Axis to Top Sources and the Top Axis to Top Destinations, then select the column
for the destination IP address. For each cell that displays a high number of events received
by that destination, locate the corresponding source IP address. You might determine

activity could be a harmless event, such as multiple users attempting to contact a single
