Truncate URLs for Reports

mike_cc — Wed, 14 Jan 2015 16:02:17 GMT

Is it possible to truncate URLs for reports? Long URLs create reports that are impossible to read. I would like an option for truncated URLs for reports - maybe 100 characters. Right now 1 really long URL makes the entire report almost worthless because it's impossible to read.

There is no settings available to truncate URLs for reports.

The dataplane can handle hostnames up to 62 characters for BrightCloud and up to 255 characters for PAN-DB. If you are using PAN-DB, then you will see string upto 255 characters long.

Helpful discussion and document

There are not too many customization options for the reporting. This is something I have requested from our reps.
