NSX-T URL analysis allows you to get insight into what websites are accessed within the organization. These websites are scored so you can review and understand the reputation and risk of the accessed websites. This article will explain to you how to configure URL Analysis.
Deployment Steps

When I click on "apply" a "1" appears in the profiles column:
STEP 03» Create a Tier–1 Gateway Firewall Rule
NSX-T Manager: Security >> Gateway Firewall >> All shared Rules
Create a (shared) Gateway firewall rule and apply it to the Tier-1 Gateway where the Segments/Virtual Machines are attached to that we want to analyze the URLs from.
NSX-T Manager: Security >> Gateway Firewall >> Gateway SPecific Rules
We can also review the specific Tier-1 Gateway firewall rules for that specific Gateway.
NSX-T Manager: Security >> URL Analysis >> URLs
When we look at the URLs Analyzed section this is still empty:
STEP 04» Generate web traffic
I have created a "dummy" Virtual Machines with Ubuntu and opened a few websites, and hit a few times on refresh:
