Traffic Trend Reports
The Traffic Trend Reports section includes reports that show
trends in the amount of traffic generated across the firewall. Traffic trends
help in understanding peak usage times, enforcing better security policies,
and planning for effective bandwidth upgrades. In a large enterprise with several
firewalls, traffic trends can also help the network administrator to distribute
the traffic load between firewalls to reduce response times and thereby enable
better quality of service.
On the top right side of the Report screen, there will be a drop down menu.

The Hourly Trend Comparison report compares the amount of
traffic generated across this firewall over the past day, with the amount of
traffic generated across this firewall since the time the server was started.
The Weekly Trend Comparison report compares the amount of
traffic generated across this firewall over the past week, with the amount of
traffic generated across this firewall since the time the server was started.
The Working Hour and Non-working Hour Traffic Trend
reports show the amount of IN and OUT traffic generated across this firewall
during working and non-working hours respectively, since the time the server
was started.
