Reading the Dashboard

These are the monitoring views. Each one answers a different question about the mail being sent under your domains. They are read-only: the data comes from the DMARC aggregate reports the dashboard ingests, filtered by the domain and date range you pick at the top of each page.

Overview

The starting point. A row of headline numbers (total messages, DMARC / SPF / DKIM pass rates, quarantined, rejected, and how many distinct sources are sending) over a volume-by-day chart of passing versus failing mail.

Use it for a quick health check: is the bulk of your mail authenticating, and is the volume what you expect? A sudden drop in pass rate, or a spike from new sources, is your cue to dig into the other views.

Authentication

How your mail aligned for SPF and DKIM across the selected range. DMARC passes when a message aligns on SPF or DKIM, so this view shows where that alignment is coming from and where it is missing.

Use it to find legitimate senders that are not set up correctly yet, for example a service sending on your behalf that fails DKIM, so you can fix their configuration before you tighten your policy.

Policy

The disposition breakdown: what receiving servers actually did with your mail (delivered, quarantined, or rejected) under your published DMARC policy.

Use it to judge the impact of your policy. At p=none everything is delivered and this reports what would happen; as you move to quarantine or reject, it shows how much mail is being acted on, so you can tighten up without blocking real senders.

Reports

The raw material: every DMARC aggregate report ingested, one row per report, searchable and sortable by reporter, domain, date range, and message count. Open a report to see its per-source detail, the sending IPs, their volumes, and their SPF / DKIM / DMARC results.

Use it when you need to trace a specific result back to its source: which reporter sent it, which IP was responsible, and exactly how it authenticated.
