Quick Actions

The Quick Actions card gives you access to common security controls.

Under Attack Mode

Use Under Attack Mode when your website is experiencing a high-volume attack that makes it slow or unavailable.

Top Threats by Rule

The Threats by Rule ID chart shows how detected requests are distributed across rule outcomes or categories for the selected period.

Use this section to understand which types of security rules are involved in recent activity.

Threats by Rule

The Threats by Rule table shows which firewall rules matched incoming requests during the selected period.

Use this table to identify the types of suspicious or unwanted traffic reaching your website and see how the firewall handled each match.

For each rule, the table shows:

  • Rule – the firewall rule or protection category that matched the request
  • Action – the action applied to matching requests
  • Requests – the number of requests that matched the rule

Actions may include:

  • LOG – the request was recorded for visibility but was not blocked by this rule
  • BLOCK – the request was blocked
  • — – no action value is displayed for the rule

Use the Date Range selector to change the reporting period.

Use the Action filter to narrow the table by the action applied:

  • All – shows every rule
  • Log – shows rules that record matching requests without blocking them
  • Block – shows rules that block matching requests

Click Export to download the table data as a CSV file.

Threats by IP

The Threats by IP table shows which source IP addresses generated requests that matched firewall rules during the selected period.

Use this table to identify high-volume sources, investigate repeated suspicious activity, and see how the firewall handled requests from each IP address.

For each entry, the table shows:

  • IP – the source IP address associated with the requests
  • Action – the action applied to matching requests
  • Requests – the number of matching requests associated with the IP address

Actions may include:

  • LOG – matching requests were recorded but not blocked by the related rule
  • BLOCK – matching requests were blocked
  • — – no action value is displayed for the IP address

Use the Action filter to narrow the table by the action applied:

  • All – shows every listed IP address
  • Log – shows IP addresses associated with logged requests
  • Block – shows IP addresses associated with blocked requests

Click Export to download the table data as a CSV file.

Request by Bots

The Request by Bots table shows the user agents associated with automated requests during the selected period.

Use this table to identify crawlers, monitoring services, SEO tools, WordPress services, and other automated clients generating requests to your website.

For each entry, the table shows:

  • User Agent – the identifier sent by the requesting browser, crawler, bot, or service
  • Requests – the number of requests associated with that user agent

Common entries may include:

  • Search-engine crawlers
  • Uptime and monitoring services
  • WordPress.com and Jetpack services
  • SEO and site-audit tools
  • Browser-like or custom automated clients
