Traffic Reports
The Traffic Reports section includes reports that show
bandwidth usage based on the amount of traffic sent and received through
the device.
On the top right side of the Report screen, there will be three combo boxes. They are:
- Top 5
- Filter by
- Export as
Top 5
The Top 5 combo box lets you choose the level of detail in the reports. By default, the top five values are shown. To show more than 15 values, the
report uses only tables. There is an option to display the Graph only.
- Top 5 (graph & table)
- Top 10 (graph & table)
- Top 15 (table only)
- Top 20 (table only)
- Top 25 (table only)
- Graph only
Below each graph click the Hide Table link to hide the
table. Click the Show Table link to see the table again.
Filter by
The Filter by combo box lets you choose the field of filter in the reports. There will be three field values for filtering. They are:
- Source
- Destination

The Export as combo box lets you choose the format of the reports for export. There will be two formats for exporting. They are:
Click on the PDF to export this report to PDF. Click on the CSV to export this report to CSV format (comma separated values).
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, 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 Protocol Groups |
The top protocol groups used by these hosts |
| Top Destinations |
The top destination hosts or IP addresses accessed by these hosts |
| Rules Triggered |
Firewall rules that were triggered by these hosts |
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 overall top conversations through this protocol group |
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. The table below each graph shows the user name, number of hits,
and the number of bytes sent or received or both as applicable.
Drill down from each of the above graphs to see the following graphs:
| Graph |
Description |
| Top Protocol Groups |
The top Protocol Groups through which higher volume of data transferred. |
| Top Destinations |
The top destinations accessed by user to transfer data |
| Top Hosts |
The top hosts used by user, that transferred higher volume of data. |
| Rules Triggered |
The Rules (policy violation, etc ) that were triggered by the user
whle transferring data.. |
The Events Generated pie-chart shows the number of
events generated, grouped by event severity. The table below the graph
shows the event severity, number of events generated with that event severity,
and the number of bytes of traffic generated.
Drill down from the pie-chart to see the following details:
| Graph |
Description |
| Top Hosts |
The top hosts that generated events of this severity |
