View Bot Defense dashboards and reports

Important: Bot Defense Self-Service Policy Management is an early access feature.

F5 Distributed Cloud Bot Defense includes multiple ways to view detailed information about the traffic that Bot Defense analyzes. Automated Threat Summaries deliver insights to you automatically each month, while a variety of dashboards provide you with instant, detailed access to analysis of your data.

Note: Bot Defense dashboard and report widgets display the message, "No Data" when there is no data to display. Make sure Bot Defense is configured correctly and that you select a time period for the dashboard or report for which you have collected data.

Automated Threat Summaries

Automated Threat Summaries are emailed reports that summarize your monthly network traffic and Bot Defense activity. Automated Threat Summaries include information about the percentage of your traffic that is automated, the numbers of known and bad bots detected, the number of human visitors to your Bot Defense infrastructures and endpoints, and a breakdown of your overall web traffic that is analyzed by Bot Defense.

To enable Automated Threat Summaries:

1. From the Distributed Cloud Console Home page, select Bot Defense.
2. From the Bot Defense navigation menu, select Manage > Reports > Reports Management and then select Add Report.
3. Enter a Name for the report and then, from the Report Type drop-down menu, select Bot Defense.
4. Select Add Item and then choose the User Group to which you want to send the report. If you need to create a new user group to receive the report, see Users.
5. Select Add Report.

Bot Defense dashboard

The Bot Defense dashboard is a snapshot of all human and bot activity in the web traffic analyzed by Bot Defense for a specified time period. You can view the Bot Defense dashboard in Bot Defense and in Web App & API Protection:

To view in Bot Defense: In the Bot Defense navigation menu, select Overview > Monitor.

To view in Web App & API Protection:

1. In Web App & API Protection, from the navigation menu, select Overview > Security.

2. In the Delivery Resources widget, from the list of HTTP load balancers, select the name of the load balancer you want to view and then select Bot Defense.

3. To view additional Bot Defense data for this specific load balancer, such as human traffic by geographic region, an overview of specific bad bot events impacting your infrastructures, and information about the intent of an attack, select View in Bot Defense.

   Note: When you view the Bot Defense dashboard in Web App & API Protection, data is filtered by domain name rather than by load balancer ID. If you configure multiple domain names on a load balancer, the data displayed for that load balancer in the Bot Defense dashboard in Web App & API Protection may differ from the data displayed in the standalone Bot Defense dashboard.

By default, the dashboard displays data from the last six hours. You can customize the time period and the region that displays. You can also save and share filters that you apply to the dashboard.

The Bot Defense dashboard includes the following information:

• Traffic By Type: The total number of transactions in the selected time window categorized by the following traffic types:

  • Human: Human or automated traffic that is evaluated but not blocked by Bot Defense.
  • Known Bot: Automated software programs for which F5 has verified the authenticity and intent that perform useful tasks, such as test tools and search engine crawlers.
  • Bad Bot: Bots that are malicious, often causing harm to legitimate users, businesses, or organizations.
  • Allowlisted: Traffic from IP addresses that are included in your Bot Allowlist Policy.
  • Telemetry Client: Traffic that comes from loading the Bot Defense JavaScript in application pages or from configuration requests (fetches) from mobile applications integrated with the F5 Distributed Cloud Mobile SDK.
  • Challenged: Traffic from challenges served to clients on protected GET transactions to determine if the clients are human or automated.
  • Unevaluated: Traffic that is proxied through your bot infrastructure but not evaluated by Bot Defense.

  Bot Defense continuously evaluates traffic behavior in real-time to distinguish between legitimate human users and automation. As Bot Defense inspects traffic characteristics and aggregates signals interactions, the system dynamically recognizes patterns and accurately identifies evasive automated attacks. As soon as the traffic's true intent emerges, Bot Defense applies the designated mitigation.

  Hover over the donut graph for percentage information for each type of traffic.

• Traffic by Category: The traffic detected for each endpoint category for the selected time-period. Hover over the donut chart to see percentage information for each category.

• Traffic by Action: Total number of automated traffic events that reach your protected endpoints and how many times each mitigation action is applied to these events. Hover over the donut chart to see percentage information.

• Traffic by Bot Infrastructure: A breakdown of all your traffic to each of your Bot Defense infrastructures. Hover over the donut chart to see percentage information.

Use the dashboard controls to view additional data.

Peer Comparison dashboard

The Peer Comparison dashboard helps you understand how your bot protection compares to similar peer companies. Data includes comparisons of total traffic breakdowns, top known bots, top reason codes (how Bot Defense determined the automation was malicious), and top threat types. For example, the Top Threat Types widget shows you your top bad bot traffic compared to an average of the top bad bot traffic at peer companies.

Use peer comparison data to help you identify areas where you might want to tune your configuration to help ensure the highest protection from current and future attacks.

The Peer Comparison dashboard shows data for the currently selected namespace. Each namespace is compared with a peer cohort, so switching namespaces displays different comparison data.

To view peer comparison data, from the Bot Defense navigation panel, select Report > Peer Comparison.

You can select the time period, sort the data in descending order based on either your threat information or your peer threat information, and view absolute values or view data as a percentage of traffic.

The Peer Comparison dashboard includes the following information:

• Total Traffic Breakdown: The total number of events impacting the endpoints you protect with Bot Defense compared to the average number of events impacting peer companies. Hover over the bar chart for exact numbers and percentages of each traffic type.
• Top Known Bots: The top known bots in your web traffic during the selected time period compared to the average number of those known bots at peer companies, including the name of each bot and the number of individual events attributed to a specific bot. Hover over the bar chart for exact numbers and percentages of each type of bot.
• Top Bad Bot Reasons: A list of the top bot reason codes indicating how an attack was executed compared to the average of those codes at peer companies. Hover over the bar chart for exact numbers and percentages of each code.
• Top Threat Types: An overview of the different types of bad bot traffic impacting your endpoints compared to the average number of those types of bad bots impacting peer companies. Hover over the bar chart for exact numbers and percentages of each threat type.

Note: Peer comparison information is not available for MSP and FedRAMP customers or for customers with private instances, and the Peer Comparison dashboard does not appear in the Bot Defense navigation menu.
