Working with statistics
There are two types of statistics:
- Counters are displayed as line charts on the Blocked Connections and Blocked Content statistics panels. The charts contain several counters each.
- Toplists provide a ranking for different events types and are displayed as a pie chart or an area chart, depending on the selected data period. Data for the Day period is displayed as a pie chart, while data for Month and Year is displayed as a stacked area chart.
A tabular display of the graphical data complements each statistics panel. In the case of counters, the data table always displays the same data as the chart. Each statistics element creates a column in the data table. In the case of toplists, the data table displays the values of the statistics elements.
The charts and tables in the statistics panels share common functions to adjust the data display and allow you to focus on the data you are most interested in:
- Under Period in the header area of the statistics panels, you can set the desired temporal scope of the data to be displayed. Use the buttons to toggle between the different data periods available. You can choose between Day, Month and Year. This option is set to Day by default.
-
Toplists typically contain an input field in the header area of the panels. Use the Entries field to adjust the maximum number of items to be displayed in the
chart. This option is set to 5 by default. You can enter a different value or use the up and down
arrows in the input field to change the value.
Important: Regardless of the value set for the chart, the data table always displays up to 1,000 entries.
- You can collapse and expand charts and tables by clicking the corresponding icon in the header area of a chart or table to expand the table or hide unnecessary details. For more information, see Icons and buttons.
-
Click in the top right corner of a
chart to access various export options (print view, PNG, JPEG, SVG, PDF, CSV and XLS) for the data displayed in the
chart.
Important: If you use the XLS export function available for toplist charts, only the data used by that chart is exported, taking into account the value you have selected for the maximum number of toplist items.
- Line and area charts include a legend. The legend is color-coded and can be used as a filter for the chart. Click items in the legend below the chart to activate and deactivate them in the chart. If clicking has no effect and the legend item remains gray, data collection for the underlying event type was disabled in the statistics settings and, therefore, no data is available. For more information, see Statistics Settings.
- Tooltips provide details on specific points in the graphical statistics. Hover the cursor of your mouse over the chart to see the exact values for a specific point in time.
The sections below provide further information on the data available in the statistics overview, on each detailed statistics panel and on the settings.
