 * Hi there,
 * Your admin dashboard reveals security information about our website. Unfortunately,
   we cannot find the details for the following dashboard parameters:
 * (1) “Events Tracked”
    (2) “Suspicious Activities” (3) “Activities Blocked” (4)“
   IPs Monitored”
 * Click here for graphical details: [http://prntscr.com/pmolth](http://prntscr.com/pmolth)
 * Where can we find the details for above parameters?
    Please make above parameters“
   clickable” for a quick find and display of details.
 * Above considered important and, quite honestly, urgent. Would be awesome if you
   can solve the above at your earliest opportunity.
 * Thank you!

 * Information like that is usually available in the screen/page contextual Help…
   
   However the info is not available under the **Dashboard** main menu option.
 * But is it available under the **Security Dashboard** sub menu option.
 * To prevent any confusion, I’m not iThemes.

 * Thank you for chiming in.
 * Can you share a screenshot showing the location of these files?
 * What are you calling “contextual help?” (back clicking each parameter title reveals
   nothing)
 * Could not find these files under the Security Dashboard. Screenshot above happens
   to be the Security Dashboard.
 * Again, thank you.

 * The WordPress Dashboard contextual help can be accessed by clicking on the **
   Help** button in the right upper corner (next to the **Screen Options** button)
   of any page/screen.

 * Looks like above-requested info is not available at all. If you know where to
   find the details (i.e., IPs associated with “IPs Monitored”), please let me know.
   Screen shots would be helpful.
 * iThemes should update their plugin to help us find above info (as suggested).
 * Thank you!

 * Ah, right. Looks like I misunderstood your request.
 * Anyway I’ll just copy/paste what I found in the WordPress Dashboard contextual
   help:
 * > The bar at the top of the screen is a summary of the number of Security related
   > events that occurred on your website in the last 30 days.
    - **Events Tracked:** Total logged events across all of iThemes Security.
    - **Suspicious Activities:** Total activity that iThemes Security deems suspicious
      such as 404s, invalid login attempts, missing reCAPTCHA, or unrecognized Trusted
      Devices.
    - **Activities Blocked:** The number of times iThemes Security takes action 
      to block a suspicious user. Includes lockouts, banned IPs and protected hijacked
      sessions.
    - **IPs Monitored:** Total number of IPs being tracked by iThemes Security.
 * It clarifies to some extend what the stats are about.
 * To understand exactly how these 4 numbers are calculated you’ll need to look 
   at the SQL query used for each. Below per stat an overview of the table the SQL
   statement is run upon and between brackets the class method (args incl) which
   contains the SQL query used. The class methods can be found in the file:
 * ithemes-security-pro/pro/dashboard/class-itsec-dashboard-util.php
 * **Events Tracked** – wp_itsec_dashboard_events (total_events( $period = false))
   **
   Suspicious Activities** – wp_itsec_dashboard_events (count_events( $slug_or_slugs,
   $period = false )) **Activities Blocked** – wp_itsec_dashboard_events (count_events(
   $slug_or_slugs, $period = false )) **IPs Monitored** – wp_itsec_logs (total_ips(
   $period = false ))
 * To understand the difference between **Suspicious Activities** and **Activities
   Blocked** have a look at the get_item() class method in the file:
 * ithemes-security-pro/pro/dashboard/rest/class-itsec-rest-dashboard-static-controller.
   php
 * Hope this helps to better understand what these 4 stats are based upon.

 * [@nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/),
 * Thanks again for your help. Let’s hope iThemes will update their dashboard to
   make the above items “clickable” so we can see the actual list of the events,
   activities, and IPs that are being tracked, blocked, and monitored.
 * As it stands now, the dashboard does not help much.
 * Cheers!
