Barracuda Web Filter Release 3.3
46 Chapter 3: Configuring, Monitoring, and Managing the Barracuda Web Filter
Automating the delivery of system alerts and notifications
Use the BASIC > Administration page to configure the Barracuda Web Filter to automatically email
system alerts to the email addresses you specify.
System alerts notify you when:
• Your Energize Update subscription is about to expire
• New virus definitions are available
• New firmware updates are available
• Your system is low on disk space
Generating system reports
Use the BASIC > Reports page to choose from over 30 types of system reports that can help you keep
track of spyware-blocking and Web-filtering activity performed by the Barracuda Web Filter. You
can either generate a system report on demand, or configure the Barracuda Web Filter to
automatically generate the system reports on a daily basis and email the reports to specific email
addresses.
Reports are available for the following activity categories:
• Bandwidth use
• Web sites requested or visited
• Web-filtering actions (blocked, warned, or monitored requests)
• Spyware activity
• Actions by hour or by time of day
• User activity
• Spyware and virus downloads
These same reports provide information about the following user-specific or Web-specific categories:
• User activity by time
• User-specific activity
• Domain-specific activity
• Category-specific activity
• Web site-specific activity
For detailed descriptions of the system reports, see the online help for the
Reports page.
Viewing a list of infected clients
Use the BASIC > Infection Activity page to view a list of clients that are infected with a virus or
spyware.
You can use this list to determine if any of your clients have been prompted to use the Barracuda
Spyware Removal Tool. By default, this tool is disabled but you can enable the tool on the
BLOCK/ACCEPT > Block Messages page.
Viewing system tasks
The ADVANCED > Task Manager page provides a list of tasks that are in the process of being
performed and also displays any errors encountered when performing these tasks.
