Status Information
WinRoute activities can be well monitored by the administrator (or by other users with appropriate rights). There are three types of information — status monitoring, statistics and logs.
•Communication of each computer, users connected or all connections using WinRoute can be monitored.
Notes:
1.WinRoute monitors only traffic between the local network and the Internet. The traffic within the local network is not monitored.
2.Only traffic allowed by traffic rules (see chapter 6) can be viewed. If a traffic attempt which should have been denied is detected, the rules are not well defined.
•Statistics provide information on users and network traffic for a certain time period. Statistics are viewed in the form of charts and tables. For details see chapter 18.
•Logs are files where information about certain activity is reported (e.g. error or warn- ing reports, debug information etc.). Each item is represented by one row starting with a timestamp (date and time of the event). In all language versions of WinRoute, reports recorded are available in English only and they are generated by the WinRoute Firewall Engine. For details, refer to chapter 20.
The following chapters describe what information can be viewed and how its viewing can be changed to accommodate the user’s needs.
17.1 Active hosts and connected users
In Status → Active Hosts, the hosts within the local network or active users using WinRoute for communication with the Internet will be displayed.
Note: For more details about the firewall user’s logon see chapter 8.1.
Look at the upper window to view information on individual hosts, connected users, data size/speed, etc.
