Network Statistics

Reports > Network Statistics

  • Similar information is provided using System > Statistics.

The Network Statistics page generates a report displaying the top consumers of TCP/IP-protocol-based network bandwidth on selected machines. Typically this report refers to bandwidth consumption caused by accessing both internal and external internet sites, but can include internal LAN traffic that also uses the TCP/IP protocol. There are two types of reports:

  • Applications - Displays a graph outlining each application and corresponding network bandwidth consumption over the time period entered in the Display <N> Days of Network Statistics setting. The number of applications displayed can set to a maximum of 20.
  • Machines - Displays a graph outlining the machines selected in the machine ID / group ID filter and corresponding network bandwidth consumption over the time period entered in the Display <N> Days of Network Statistics setting. The number of machines displayed can set to a maximum of 20.

Note: This report requires the Network Access driver be enabled. This driver inserts itself into the TCP/IP stack to measure TCP/IP-protocol-based network traffic by application. The driver is disabled by default.

Share Report / Private Report

By default, Private access is selected. Private reports can only be viewed and run by the administrator that created the report. Shared reports can be viewed and run by all administrators. Saved reports are identified as either private or shared in the left-hand navigation pane.
