Barracuda SecureEdge Reporting visualises reports by using statistics and logs collected on Sites. The SecureEdge Manager allows you to create reports for your connected Sites when Web Filtering is enabled. In addition, you can create and customize your own reports to simplify log information and details for connected Sites.
Requirements
You must first enable reporting in the Barracuda SecureEdge Manager via Infrastructure > Sites > Advance Setting. For more information, see How to Enable Reporting in SecureEdge.
You must update your SecureEdge appliances to version 9.0.4 or higher.
You must have a Site with Web Filtering enabled. For more information, see Web Filter Policies. Note: Web Filtering is always enabled for your connected Sites. However, you can disable it for the SecureEdge Access Agent. For more information, see Zero Trust Access Policies.
Port TCP/5044 must be allowed from the Site to the internet.
Barracuda XDR log streaming must be disabled.
