Hi @CHOE-KyungJun ,

It looks like the command you entered provides details of the URL-Filtering DB statistics. The output shows the number of URLs processed by the PAN-DB URL database & the Cloud DB that I assume are sources like Unit 42, WildFire, passive DNS, Palo Alto Networks telemetry data, and data from the Cyber Threat Alliance.

The aynchronous URL requests are requests that are processed in the DB while the users are still able to access the site unless a denied category is discovered. After that, it looks like there are details on the URL database sharding. Showing the number of URLs in each shard that is distributed to the DB for processing. 

Hope this helps.
