Web Application Controller Administration

Configuration of the Barracuda Web Application Controller is accomplished through a secure Web-based interface, featuring a comprehensive online help system.

Initial application definition is made simple through comprehensive default security policies that also allow the administrator to specify more fine-grain rules. Features such as dynamic profiling and automatic rule creation from log entries enable administrators to easily maintain security policies even as applications change.

Delegation of Administration Functions

The Barracuda Web Application Controller allows the definition of administrative roles. These roles allow administrators to delegate management activities to other administrators for specific applications, or to assign read-only access to the configurations, for example. A separate administrative role exists for management of PKI certificates and private keys for use in specific Web applications.

Reporting

The Barracuda Web Application Controller's administrative tools feature state-of-the-art, statistical reporting that allow you to visualize both overall Web traffic levels as well as the levels of traffic filtered for either policy or security reasons.

The Barracuda Web Application Controller dashboard provides real-time and historic application health data including: transaction rates, throughput rates, back end server health, application response health and full details on any attacks being levied against each application. The dashboard also rolls up all application statistics to a master log.

The Barracuda Web Application Controller can be easily integrated with data center logging, SNMP and alarm systems.
