Web Reporting Enhancements?
Are there any plans to improve the reporting results of the web traffic for a device? I'm referring to the "History" tab under the Network Flows area. The problem is that every single connection shows up when a user goes to a website. For example, a person goes to www.google.com and 500 related URLs show up (CDNs, Redirects, backlinks, Adds, etc...). It would be nice to have a simplified version of the web reporting that shoes mainly just the root site that was accessed and not all the other refer links.
This would be very helpful for parents or anyone trying to better monitor the traffic going in/out of their network.
Are there any plans to offer this in the future?

Yes, we are constantly refining the history part.
What you are saying can be done, but not that easy. (or accurately) The reason is, many of the sessions are encrypted unless we create an https decryption mechanism, the network cannot see past the https header. Filtering out noise is possible, but ... it may also filter out things that may be of interest from a security perspective.

Hello All - could you create a report that shows utilization by category? I'd love to see how much time the kids are spending on games and such. Along those lines, could you add in the ability to add sites to categories from the traffic view? I know I can go into a category and add a site, and I can block a site from the traffic view, but it would be nice to take an unknown site and add it to a category from within the traffic view.
Cheers,
Cole.
