DDoS Attack Logs and History Viewing Complete Guide

Introduction

REXE Technology provides comprehensive attack logs through the Path Panel. You can view, filter, and analyze all DDoS attacks targeting your server in detail.

Attack History Page

All detected DDoS attacks are listed in a table:

Filtering Options

Two filtering options are available to narrow down attack history:

Date Range Filter

Select start and end dates to view attacks within a specific period:

Start: 2024-01-01
End: 2024-01-31
→ All attacks in January 2024 are listed

IP Filter

Select or enter an IP address to filter attacks targeting a specific IP.

Attack Details

Peak BPS (Bits Per Second)

The highest bandwidth value of the attack. This value shows the volumetric scale:

Peak PPS (Packets Per Second)

The highest packet rate of the attack. High PPS values indicate attacks targeting server CPU.

Attack Duration

The difference between start and end times shows the total attack duration.

Automatic Updates

Attack data is automatically updated every 5 minutes. Refresh the page during an active attack to see current data.

Attack Notifications

Attack history is monitored from the REXE panel. There is no external webhook notification.

To follow an ongoing attack, use the Attack History page in the panel; the data refreshes every 5 minutes. Attack reports, filter and rule management are handled through REXE's own panel; customers do not connect to the Path.net panel directly.

Dashboard Statistics

The Dashboard displays summary statistics of attack logs:

• Attacks in Last 15 Days: Total number of detected attacks
• Highest BPS: Largest recorded bandwidth attack
• Highest PPS: Highest recorded packet rate
• Top 10 Attacked IPs: Most frequently targeted IP addresses

Analyzing Attack Logs

Attack logs help you understand attack patterns targeting your server:

Repeated Attacks

If you see frequent attacks on the same IP, it indicates that IP is specifically targeted. In this case:

1. Review the attack type (Reason column)
2. Analyze the attack vector (Detail column)
3. Ensure your filter rules are optimized for this attack type
4. Contact our support team if needed

Attack Size Assessment

Evaluate Peak BPS and Peak PPS values together:

• High BPS + Low PPS: Volumetric attack (UDP flood, amplification)
• Low BPS + High PPS: CPU-targeted attack (SYN flood, small packet flood)
• High BPS + High PPS: Mixed attack

Learning from Attack Logs

Attack logs don't just show historical data — they help you prepare for future attacks:

Attack Timing Analysis

Analyze which hours attacks are most concentrated:

• Midnight attacks: Automated botnet attacks
• Business hour attacks: May be competitor-sourced
• Weekend attacks: Common for game servers

Attack Vector Tracking

Track the attack vector information in the Detail column:

Attack Size Trend

Monitor changes in attack size over time. Increasing attack sizes may indicate your server is being targeted more frequently.

Conclusion

REXE Path Panel's attack log system provides complete visibility into DDoS attacks targeting your server. By regularly reviewing attack history, filtering by date and IP, and analyzing Peak BPS/PPS values, you can understand attack patterns and optimize your protection strategy.

For real-time attack monitoring, use the Dashboard's hourly timeline. For detailed analysis, use the Attack History page with date range and IP filters. If you have API access, you can build custom monitoring and alerting systems using the attack history endpoint.
