Protocol Usage Reports - Firewall Reports

    The Protocol Usage Reports section includes reports that show bandwidth usage based on all the protocol groups generating traffic through the device.

    Tip: Separate reports are available for Web, Mail, FTP, and Telnet protocol groups. Click on the respective reports to view bandwidth usage details.

    How to export report in PDF, CSV, XLS formats, on demand?

    Tip: Click on the Protocol Groups link under the Settings > Firewall > System tab to see what protocols fall under each protocol group, and how to edit them.

    The Top Protocol Groups - Sent and Top Protocol Groups - Received graphs show the top protocol groups sending and receiving data across the device respectively. The Top Protocol Groups - Sent + Received graph shows the top protocol groups grouped by summing the number of bytes sent and received by each protocol group. The table below each graph shows the protocol group name, number of hits, and the number of bytes sent or received as applicable.

    Drill down from each of the above graphs to see the following graphs:

    Graph Description
    Top Protocols The top protocols in this protocol group
    Top Hosts The top hosts generating traffic using protocols in this protocol group
    Top Users The top users generating traffic using protocols in this protocol group
    Top Destinations The top destinations accessed by protocols in this protocol group
    Top Conversations The top conversations using protocols in this protocol group
    Traffic Distribution - Working Hours The amount of traffic that was generated by each protocol group during working hours, which is the daily average value since the time the server was started.
    Traffic Distribution - Non-working Hours The amount of traffic that was generated by each protocol group during non-working hours, which is the daily average value since the time the server was started.

    The Top Hosts - Sent and Top Hosts - Received graphs show the top hosts sending and receiving data across the device respectively. The Top Hosts - Sent + Received graph shows the top hosts grouped by summing the number of bytes sent and received by each host. The table below each graph shows the host name or IP address, the protocol used, number of hits, and the number of bytes sent or received as applicable.

    Drill down from each of the above graphs to see the following graphs:

    Graph Description
    Top Destinations The top destination hosts or IP addresses accessed by these hosts
    Top Users The top users using this host in generating traffic

    The Top Users - Sent and Top Users - Received graphs show the top users sending and receiving data across the device respectively. The Top Users - Sent + Received graph shows the top users grouped by summing the number of bytes sent and received by each protocol group. The table below each graph shows the user name, the protocol used, number of hits, and the number of bytes sent or received as applicable.

    Drill down from each of the above graphs to see the following graphs:

    Graph Description
    Top Destinations The top destinations accessed by the user
    Top Hosts The top hosts used by user in generating traffic

    The Top Rules table shows the top protocol groups triggering firewall rules, the (Rule Number IDs) rules that were triggered, the destination and the number of hits.
