Preferences
Under certain circumstances (too many connected users, great volume of transmitted data, low capacity of the WinRoute host, etc.), viewing of statistics may slow WinRoute and data transmission (Internet connection) down. Be aware of this fact while opening the statistics. Statistics can also be focused only on certain destination hosts if necessary.
Statistics and their parameters can be set in the Quota / Statistics tab under Configuration / Advanced Options.
Enable per user statistics
Use this option to enable/disable statistics for each local user (information provided in the Top 20 users and the User statistics tabs, see chapters Top 20 users and User statistics).
A group of IP addresses can be excluded by using the Exclude IP addresses (e.g. servers, testing subnet, etc.). Connections to these IP addresses will not be included in the statistics.
Note: If a user connects to the firewall both from monitored and excluded hosts, the statistics will display only information about the user's activity at hosts which are not excluded.
Enable per interface statistics
This option enables/disables statistics for individual network interfaces of the WinRoute host, i.e. information provided in the Interface statistics tab (see chapter Interface statistics).
Quota for volume of transmitted data
Volume of data transmitted by individual users can also be specified in the Quota / Statistics tab.
Quota monitoring (i.e. taking actions when the quota is exceeded) can be undesirable if the user is authenticated at the firewall. This would block all firewall traffic as well as all local users.
The Exclude firewall for quota actions is available for such cases. If this option is enabled, no action will be taken if the quota is exceeded by a user which is authenticated at the firewall.
Note: For detailed information on user quotas, refer to chapter User Accounts.
