Data Panels Overview

Data panels present domain intelligence in focused, specialized containers. Each panel provides a different perspective on domain data, from DNS resolutions to SSL certificates to historical WHOIS records.

What are data panels?

Data panels are modular interface components that display specific types of domain information. They work together to provide a comprehensive view of domain intelligence while allowing you to focus on the aspects most relevant to your investigation.

Available data panels

Domain-focused panels

Domain Profile : Snapshot of all domain-related data in one panel. Provides quick overview of key attributes including risk score, DNS, WHOIS, and web content.

Domain History : Timeline showing how a domain has evolved over time. Tracks changes to WHOIS data, DNS records, web content, screenshots, and SSL certificates.

WHOIS History : Historical WHOIS records showing registration changes over time. Compare records side-by-side or view inline differences.

Screenshot History : Archived website screenshots showing visual changes over time. Browse through historical captures of the domain's website.

DNS and network panels

Passive DNS (pDNS) : Current and historical DNS resolutions. Shows domain-to-IP mappings, name servers, mail servers, and other DNS records with timestamps.

IP Profile and IP Tools : IP address information including WHOIS data, geolocation, and network tools (ping, traceroute, PTR lookup).

Security panels

SSL Profile : SSL/TLS certificate details including validity dates, issuer, subject, and alternative names. Provides pivots on certificate attributes.

Analysis panels

Stats : Statistical analysis of result sets. Shows distribution of values across fields with charts and tables.

Visualization : Graph-based view of domain connections. Visualizes relationships between domains and their attributes.

Panel tabs

Data panels appear as tabs across the top of the interface. Select a tab to view that panel's content.

Panel selector

Use the hamburger menu on the far right of the tab ribbon to:

  • Show or hide specific panels
  • Reorder panel tabs
  • Reset to default layout

Resize panels

Adjust panel width using the resize icon on the far right of each panel's title bar.

Panel settings

Most panels include a settings icon (gear icon) in the title bar. Settings options vary by panel but commonly include:

  • Display preferences
  • Column selection
  • Filter options
  • Sort order

Panel interactions

Context-aware loading

Panels automatically populate with data for the selected domain in the Pivot Engine. When you:

  • Select a different domain in the Pivot Engine
  • Pivot to a new search
  • Navigate to a previous search node

The panels update to show information for the current domain.

Cross-panel navigation

Many panels provide links to other panels:

  • Operations Menu: Right-click values to open related panels
  • Panel links: Direct links to relevant panels (for example, "View in pDNS")
  • Pivot actions: Create searches that populate other panels

Persistent display

Data panels remain populated with the selected domain's information even when:

  • Creating new branches
  • Performing searches with no results
  • Navigating through search history

This allows you to reference domain information while exploring related domains.

Common panel features

Update content button

Several panels include an Update Content button to manually trigger data collection:

  • Domain Profile
  • Screenshot History
  • SSL Profile

Use this to refresh web-related data outside of automatic collection schedules.

Export options

Many panels support data export:

  • Pivot Engine: CSV, STIX 1.2, STIX 2.0
  • pDNS: CSV, JSON
  • Stats: Included in investigation reports

Operations menu integration

Most panels integrate with the Operations Menu:

  • Right-click values to pivot
  • Access related panels
  • View additional context

Panel workflow

A typical investigation workflow uses panels in sequence:

  1. Pivot Engine: Review search results, select a domain.
  2. Domain Profile: Get quick overview of the domain.
  3. pDNS: Examine DNS history and current resolutions.
  4. WHOIS History: Review registration changes.
  5. SSL Profile: Analyze certificate details.
  6. Stats/Visualization: Identify patterns across results.

Best practices

Panel selection

  • Keep relevant panels visible: Hide panels you're not using to reduce clutter
  • Reorder for workflow: Place frequently-used panels first
  • Use keyboard shortcuts: Learn shortcuts for faster navigation

Data refresh

  • Update web content: Manually refresh for high-priority domains
  • Check timestamps: Note when data was last collected
  • Understand collection schedules: Know when automatic updates occur

Analysis approach

  • Start broad: Use Domain Profile for overview
  • Drill down: Move to specialized panels for details
  • Cross-reference: Compare data across multiple panels
  • Document findings: Use search notes to capture insights
