Main Dashboard View

The Pyxsoft WAF Dashboard provides a clear, real-time view of your server’s security and traffic.
This visibility is unprecedented in cPanel/WHM environments, allowing administrators and hosting companies to monitor attacks, blocked requests, and performance trends with ease.

WAF Dashboard

Below we explain each key element of the dashboard and how to use it effectively.

Requests in the Last 180 Minutes​

This chart shows all incoming web requests in real time during the last 180 minutes.

  • For the first time in cPanel servers, administrators can see a live visualization of traffic volume.
  • Hosting companies can detect when a server is approaching its resource limits (CPU, memory, bandwidth) by correlating traffic spikes with server load.
  • It also helps identify unusual traffic patterns that may indicate attacks or abusive crawlers.
Why It Matters

This level of visibility has never been available in cPanel environments before. It empowers hosting providers to make data-driven decisions about scaling, performance, and security.

Daily Blocks in the Last 30 Days​

This chart tracks the total number of attacks blocked per day over the past month.

  • Provides a historical perspective of the threat landscape.
  • Allows administrators to measure whether security incidents are increasing or decreasing.
  • Useful for reporting to clients or internal teams.

Last 10 Attacks Blocked​

This widget displays the ten most recent attacks blocked by pxShield.

  • Each entry shows details such as timestamp, source IP, and type of attack.
  • Clicking “More Info” opens a dialog with full request details.
  • Administrators can also request an AI-generated explanation of the attack, making it easier to understand even for non-technical staff.
AI Explanations

By leveraging AI, Pyxsoft WAF can provide plain-language descriptions of complex attacks, helping both technical and non-technical users understand the nature of the threat.

Top Blocked Attacks by IP​

This chart ranks the IP addresses responsible for the highest number of blocked requests.

  • Helps identify persistent attackers.
  • Administrators can use this data to apply IP blocking or geographical restrictions for additional protection.

Top Targeted Domains​

This chart shows the domains on your server that receive the most attacks.

  • Hosting companies can quickly identify which customers are under the highest pressure.
  • Useful for proactive communication: inform clients when their domains are frequently targeted.
  • Helps in planning for additional protective measures.

Top Attacks Blocked by Type​

This section categorizes the most common types of attacks detected and blocked by pxShield. Examples include:

  • SQL Injection
  • Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)
  • Command Injection
  • Directory Traversal

By understanding the attack types most commonly seen, administrators can better prepare their infrastructure and educate customers about specific risks.

Summary​

The Pyxsoft WAF main dashboard provides:

  • Real-time traffic insights (180-minute request graph).
  • Historical visibility (30-day blocks).
  • Detailed attack analysis (last 10 blocked attacks, with AI explanations).
  • Threat intelligence (top attacking IPs, top targeted domains, top attack types).

This combination of real-time and historical data makes the Pyxsoft WAF Dashboard an essential tool for monitoring, decision-making, and communication in hosting environments.
