Usage reports - Current usage or daily usage

LHerzog

Hi, I'd lke to know how to get some sight into current activity on the firewall.

There is such a nice but useless graph on the dashboard and in this case I'd like to know what caused the recent peak. Also I have no clue what 3,817.99M means here. Hits? Bytes? Packets?

How can I view live bandwidth usage for IP or user?

And as we always have issues with MS Windows Update clients downloading massively from Microsoft servers, I identified some IP in the webfilter logs and thought, well lets see how much stuff they downloaded there today. I failed the task - the report shows nothing. also for the past days - nothing. How can that be?

Nothing reported:

    Hi,

    please try the connections tab and also create free account on the cm, that will store 7 days of history and provide better bandwidth reports than the XG.

    How do you get users to resolve. Do I need to enter all users?  from the pic no user details.  Thanks!

    Hi,

    you need to click on the '+' symbol and that will show you which users are connected through that address and the amount of data they have downloaded. The process is quite time consuming  if you have many users and applications running.

    I will investigate other reports and let you know what I find.

    Hi Ian,

    NA shows up in the User field when I expand.  When I select Live connection for Username I only get what I manually entered. Plus a big pool of NA.  Thanks for the quick response.

    Hi Dave,

    I  reviewed my XG which uses cientless to identify devices on the networks. I found a number of my devices were showg NA in that report. Further investigation showed

    1/. I had not created a clienteles userid for the device

    2/. one device I have not corrected its DHCP settings.

    3/. 0.0.0.0 and the external interface address also showed as 'NA'

    In summary 'NA' means that the device has not ben identifies to your XG.

    Regards

    I guess my issue is I can do a simple scan and get information back on the devices connecting to my network.  I should not have to input all my devices at a minimal I should be able to get the host name.  Can't image this on an enterprise level to not have any details.

    Thanks for taking a look!

    Username in XG reporting means the IP addresses, which XG can reference to a actual user. A user can be defined by the Clientless user (Map between IP and a username), AD Authentication (STAS, NTLM, Kerberos etc.) User ID (Endpoint with Heartbeat), WPA2 Enterprise and other methods. 

    If this is not possible, the IP will be shown as "NA".
