Viewing SSL connection reports
Reports for secure connections are under Optimization > SSL: <entity> Details. TLS profiling must be enabled under the main settings.
Host, server, and client reports are available. All reports list connections between the local appliance and the listed entity, amount of traffic, acceleration benefit, errors, and status. Host and server reports also include connection timeout information.
Host and server reports are very similar. Server reports list entities by IP address. Host reports list entities by hostname and are useful when there isn’t a direct mapping to an IP address. For example, “outlook.com” is listed as a single host entity even though connections are spread across multiple IP addresses in Microsoft’s range of addresses. These reports display:
• IP address and port number, or hostname.
• number of completed connections.
• total LAN traffic in kilobytes. Includes accelerated, passed-through, and bypassed traffic.
• optimized LAN and WAN traffic in kilobytes.
• total number of connection errors.
• connection status. Active indicates traffic on the connection is accelerated. Bypass indicates traffic is not accelerated due to a connection error. Filtered indicates an adaptive, temporary bypass, where traffic is not accelerated and the appliance will attempt to accelerate the traffic again at the next evaluation interval.
• time of the adaptive bypass evaluation. Blank for active connections and connections bypassed due to a blocked host.
Client reports list entities by IP address and display information similar to host and server reports.
When an appliance encounters a connection failure, it passes through the traffic without accelerating it. It continues to pass through the connection for up to five minutes.
For MAPI, SMB-signed, and Citrix failed connections traffic, is passed through without acceleration if Failback to No Encryption is disabled.
