Last Updated:Nov 07, 2023

After you enable the mitigation analysis feature, you can query and analyze mitigation logs that record the events of an Anti-DDoS Origin instance. The events include traffic scrubbing, blackhole filtering, and traffic rerouting.

Prerequisites

The mitigation analysis feature is enabled. For more information, see Enable mitigation analysis.

Query and analyze mitigation logs

  1. Log on to the Traffic Security console.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Network Security > Anti-DDoS Origin > Mitigation Logs.

  3. In the top navigation bar, select the resource group to which the instance belongs and the region in which the instance resides.

    • For an Anti-DDoS Origin 1.0 instance or EIP with Anti-DDoS (Enhanced) enabled, select the region in which the instance or EIP resides.

    • For an Anti-DDoS Origin 2.0 instance, select All Regions.

  4. On the Mitigation Logs page, select an Anti-DDoS Origin instance.

  5. Enter a query statement in the search box.

    A query statement consists of a search statement and an analytic statement in the Search statement|Analytic statement format. For more information, see Search syntax and SQL syntax and functions.

  6. In the upper-right corner of the page, specify a time range for the query.

    Note

    The query results contain reports that are generated 1 minute earlier or later than the specified time range.

  7. Click Search & Analyze to view the query results.

Manage query and analysis results

You can view the query and analysis results in a log distribution histogram, on the Raw Logs tab, or by using a chart. You can also configure alert rules and saved searches.
