Web Application Firewall:Security reports

更新時間:Nov 18, 2024

Web Application Firewall (WAF) provides security reports that include the protection details of all protection modules, such as the basic protection rule, IP address blacklist, and custom rule modules. You can analyze the security of your business based on the security reports.

Prerequisites

  • Web services are added to WAF 3.0 as protected objects. For more information, see Configure protected objects and protected object groups.

  • Protection rules are configured for protected objects.

    By default, the basic protection rule module is enabled. You do not need to configure protection rules for the module. To enable other protection modules, you must configure protection rules for the modules. For more information, see Protection configuration overview.

View security reports

When you log on to the WAF console, you are directed to an interface based on the region in which your WAF instance is deployed. If your WAF instance is deployed in the Chinese mainland, you are directed to the interface in the China (Hangzhou) region. If your WAF instance is deployed outside the Chinese mainland, you are directed to the interface in the Singapore region.

On the Security Reports page, you can view the protection data and logs of resources that are added to WAF.

  1. Log on to the WAF 3.0 console. In the top navigation bar, select the resource group and region of the WAF instance. You can select Chinese Mainland or Outside Chinese Mainland.

  2. In the left-side navigation pane, choose Detection and Response > Security Reports.

  3. On the Security Reports page, specify the report type, the protected object, and the time range to query security report data.

    The following section describes the query settings:

    • Protected object: By default, All is selected and the security report data of all protected objects of WAF is queried. You can also query the security report data of a specific protected object.

    • Time range: By default, Today is selected and the security report data of the current day is queried. Valid values: Last 15 Minutes, Last 30 Minutes, Last 1 Hour, Last 24 Hours, Yesterday, Today, 7 Days, or 30 Days.

    • Template name: You can specify a bot management template to view the protection details of the template.

Basic protection rule module

On the Basic Protection Rule tab, you can view the protection details of the basic protection rule module. By default, the basic protection rule module is enabled. You can view the security report of the basic protection rule module on the Security Reports page. For more information about how to modify the default settings of the basic protection rule module, see Basic protection rules and rule groups.

  • Area: the area where the attacker IP address is located.

  • Attack Time: the start time of the attack.

  • Attack Type: the type of the attack, such as SQL injection and code execution.

  • Attack URL: the URL of the attack.

  • Request Method: the method that is used to initiate the attack.

  • Request Parameter: the request parameters of the attack.

  • Action: the action that WAF performed on the attack. Valid values: Block and Monitor. The Block action blocks the attack. The Monitor action records the request but does not block the attack.

  • Rule ID: the ID of the basic protection rule that is matched by the attack.

  • Filter attack events

    You can use the following fields to filter attack events. You can specify the fields above the attack event list.

    • Protection type: Basic Protection Rule and Semantic-based protection are supported.

    • Attack type: By default, All is selected. Other valid values: SQL Injection, XSS Attack, Code Execution, Local File Inclusion, Remote File Inclusion, webshell, Custom Rule, and Others.

    • Attacker IP address: By default, this field is not specified.

    • Rule ID: By default, this field is not specified.

    • Rule action: By default, All is selected. Other valid values: Block and Monitor.

  • View attack details

    To view the details of an attack, find the attack in the attack list and click View Details in the Actions column. In the Attack Details panel, you can obtain information about the attack and the protection rule, such as Rule Name, Rule Description, Original Request Header, and Trace ID.

  • Manage attacks

    Find the attack that you want to manage in the attack list and click Ignore False Positive in the Actions column. In the Create Rule dialog box, specify a rule name and click OK.

    A template named AutoTemplate is created, and a whitelist rule is created for the template. The origin of the whitelist rule is Custom. For more information, see Configure whitelist rules to allow specific requests.
