About the Requests page

IMPORTANT
This guide only applies to Next-Gen WAF customers with access to the Next-Gen WAF control panel. If you have access to the Next-Gen WAF product in the Fastly control panel, check out our web interface guides for the Fastly control panel.
The Requests page features a summary table, which lists individual requests that have been tagged with signals and that fit into either the all or sampled data storage category. The summary table includes general request data (e.g., path, response code, response size) and identifies the specific attacks and anomalies that a request was tagged with.
Before you begin
Be sure you know how to access the web interface controls.
About the Requests page
Selecting Requests from the site navigation bar displays the Requests page.
From the Requests page, you can:
use menus to filter the table by when the requests were made and by the signals and HTTP response codes that the requests are tagged with.
enter queries into a search bar to filter the table. Clicking Show search examples reveals example search queries with valid syntax.
click on signals and linked data in the table to filter the table's contents. For example, clicking on a source IP will constrain the results to all requests made by that IP.
view full details for an individual request by clicking View request detail. The request details page lists all of the metadata captured about the request, including request and response headers, and all the signals we’ve identified.
This page can help you further debug a particular attack or anomaly. For example, you may notice target hosts for domains you do not own, which happens when the requester uses a modified hosts file or forged host header to make it appear as though the target is a foreign host when it has actually been configured to point to one of your IP addresses directly.
NOTE
You may need additional context to fully investigate an attack or anomaly. To do this, we recommend using a header link to add a link to your internal systems on the request details page via a linking identifier (e.g., an X-Request-Id response header).
download full details for the first 1,000 requests by clicking the Download as menu and selecting JSON or CSV. To download additional requests, click Next to navigate to a subsequent results page and click Download as again.
