After purchasing a cloud firewall, to enable the alarm center to display a traffic trend graph, you typically need to perform the following steps:
Configure Traffic Monitoring: Ensure the firewall is set up to collect and log traffic data. This usually involves enabling flow logging or traffic statistics features in the firewall's settings.
Integrate with the Alarm Center: Connect the firewall's monitoring data to the alarm center. This may require setting up data forwarding rules or using APIs to send traffic logs to the alarm center's platform.
Set Up Visualization Rules: Configure the alarm center to interpret the traffic data and generate trend graphs. This could involve defining time intervals (e.g., hourly, daily) and selecting metrics like bandwidth usage, connection counts, or threat detection rates.
Test and Validate: Verify that the traffic data is being correctly received and displayed in the alarm center. Check for any gaps or errors in the trend graph.
Example:
If you use a cloud firewall to protect a web application, you can enable flow logging to track incoming and outgoing traffic. Then, configure the alarm center to pull these logs and display a graph showing daily bandwidth usage. This helps identify traffic spikes or potential DDoS attacks.
