General Status
The
General Status
tab shows general information about the Geo IP & Botnet filter and offers an option to
synchronize the database. When the Geo IP & Botnet Filter is enabled, the General Status tab provides the
following information:
• Database
shows the update status and provides
Synchronize
to manually synchronize updates. When
Synchronize
is clicked, the server immediately checks for new updates on the backend server.
• Server Status
shows whether the backend server is connected. Offline status might indicate the
network settings might need to be changed.
• Cache Count
shows the total number of Geo IP and Botnet caches. All caches are managed
automatically by the server.
• Last checked
displays the most recent timestamp of the cache.
• Service Expiration Date
shows the license expiration date of the Geo IP & Botnet Filter service.
• License Status
identifies whether the Geo IP & Botnet Filter service is licensed. The Geo IP & Botnet
Filter is a subscription service that includes a free trial.
When the Geo IP & Botnet Filter is licensed but disabled, the Status page displays a warning that contains a link
to the Settings page where the feature can be enabled:
Botnet Status
The
Botnet Status
tab shows traffic statistics for Botnet IP addresses for the current reporting period. Statistics
