Viewing DNS Filtering Reports

You can view DNS Filtering data through generated reports.

To view a DNS Filtering report

1. Navigate to POLICY | DNS Security > Reports.

2. Click the Domain tab.

   On this screen, you can see a list of domains processed by DNS Filtering, how many times they were visited and its percentage of the total number of domains, and the category associated with the domain.
