32User Manual v16.2.1 ─ 01
Users
The "Users" reports contain information relating to end-user hosts either by IP address
or by name (depending on the integration of gateprotect Firewall into your environ-
ment). The administrator can use these reports to discover heavy users of the network
to determine whether this behavior is expected or represents a threat to the business.
Protocols
The "Protocols" reports contain information about the protocols and applications on the
network and passing through gateprotect Firewall. A security or network administrator
can use these reports to determine whether bandwidth utilization on the network
reflects the goals of the business.
These reports show the aggregated data volume statistics for the complete link, distin-
guished by inbound and outbound traffic and both combined.
Zones
The "Zones" reports show traffic volume for each configured zone. The administrator
can use these reports to monitor traffic usage between WAN-side and LAN-side con-
nections and determine whether a policy rule needs to be created to change the com-
position or volume of traffic between the displayed points.
The reports provided here aggregate data for the zones that are configured via the
"LAN" and "WAN" menus.
Domains
The "Domains" reports display the Internet sites that were most frequently visited by
users on the local network. These reports are used to determine whether web-brows-
ing habits match the company policy and the goals of the business.
Traffic per Rule
The "Traffic per rule" reports contain information about the traffic volume for each con-
figured firewall rule. An administrator can use these reports to monitor the impact of a
firewall rule on the network traffic and to refine the current rule set if necessary.
Hits per Rule
The "Hits per rule" reports show statistics on the firewall rules that matched recent traf-
fic. This information can be used in combination with the other reports to refine the cur-
rent rule set and ensure that gateprotect Firewall is properly configured to permit the
network traffic that is required for business while blocking any undesired or malicious
activity.
Network Interfaces
The "Network Interfaces" reports show the traffic volume for each physical network
interface. This information can help the network administrator to determine whether a
link is saturated and to reconsider the cabling decisions if necessary.
