Message "Have Detected Accesses To Address ip.address" is showing various values for amount of times the access has happened.
The network monitoring alerts from the Smoothwall Filter and Firewall on the dashboard page show many messages about accesses to or from specific IP addresses that the firewall has blocked.
The monitoring engine can generate alerts when the firewall is blocking access to or from a specific IP address. Set the threshold on the Alert settings page.
When the threshold value is reached within a time span of five minutes, an alert is generated. There are two options for thresholds. One generates a caution message, the other a warning message.
The alert is meant to help identify excessive traffic from or to specific systems which might cause problems on the network. The alert values should be modified to suit the traffic amounts usually seen, which vary from location to location. In case the alerts are not needed or wanted, you can turn them off on the Alerts page.
