WinRoute activities can be well monitored by the administrator (or by other users with appropriate rights). There are three types of information — status monitoring, records (logs) and charts.
Communication of each computer, users connected or all connections using WinRoute can be monitored.
Note: Only traffic allowed by traffic rules (see chapter Chapter 5) can be viewed. If a traffic attempt which intended to be denied is detected, the rules are not well defined.
Logs are files where information about certain activity is reported (e.g. error or warning reports, debug information etc.). Each item has one line and is marked with time specification (date and time when the action was taken). In all language versions of WinRoute, reports recorded are available in English only and they are generated by the WinRoute Firewall Engine.
In charts, traffic within each interface in a time range is displayed.
To learn what types of information and the methods for monitoring, refer to the following chapters.
In Status / Charts, the traffic at network interfaces during a time interval (traffic speed in bytes per second, B/s) can be monitored.
The following chart parameters can be defined:
- Interface
In this field select an interface that will be monitored. All active interfaces can be found in the options (e.g. active network adapters and dialed lines).
- Time range
In the right field, an interval for active monitoring can be selected (from 2 hours up to 30 days). The end of the interval is identical to the current time and the recent past interval is displayed (“recent 2 hours”, “recent 30 days”, etc.).
The interval for chart refreshing can be found in the comment below the chart.
Example: If the 2 hours time range is selected, there is a refresh interval of 20 seconds. This means that information in the chart is refreshed and updated every 20 seconds.
The Settings button opens a dialog for setting the chart parameters.
- The Y Axis
Minimal and maximum Y axis values can be set in this dialog. Bytes are used to specify the value (e.g. 100 KB will be inserted as 102400 — 100*1024).
Note: The X value is set up automatically according to the chosen time interval.
- Time
This option determines whether the server time or the local time of the Kerio Administration Console host will be displayed in the chart. The following rules are followed:
If the Kerio Administration Console is running on the host where WinRoute is installed, the time values are equal.
The time values are also equal if times are synchronized (it can be done for example with NTP protocol or in Windows NT domain).
If the time values are not synchronized and both hosts are in the same time zone, it is highly recommended to use the server
If the hosts are not in the same time zone, you can choose either the server time or the administration console time according to your need.
- Number and Colors of Lines in the Chart
In this section, number and colors of traces for the chart can be selected.
Note: Only lines generated by selected functions will be displayed in the chart. There are only two lines used to trace the interface traffic in WinRoute — the #1 line traces the traffic of incoming and the #2 curve of outgoing data.
