All web browsing activity is stored in an SQL database, that can be either viewed on screen or exported for further external analysis. An extensive range of detailed reports can be generated to show anything from 'most visited domains' and 'top blocked categories' to time spent browsing and bandwidth utilisation. Where authentication is enabled, which is now typical in almost all schools, reports can also be generated by user or group, so that the worst offending users (in terms of requesting pages that were blocked by the school's content filter system) can be quickly identified.
Reports can also be easily customised, with a drill-down facility that allows the data to be explored to a much greater depth. For example, from a list of blocked sites that students have attempted to access, it is possible to drill-down to find out exactly which individuals have been trying to access any particular site. Reports can also be produced in a graphical format appropriate to the report contents such as pie charts and bar graphs, saved in familiar file formats such as PDF and Excel, or emailed to a distribution list. User Agent Reporting can be used to identify non-standard browsers or other software using the web (such as spyware) and real-time logs and traffic graphs show instantaneous web activity.
Automatic data aggregation from multiple remote systems such as Equiinet's CachePilot present in over 12,000 UK schools, provides comprehensive Local Authority network-wide reporting. The built-in report template facility allows administrators to create, store and schedule their own reports.
