Log Reports - Dell SonicWALL GX250 Manual

Log Reports

The SonicWALL is able to perform a rolling analysis of the event log to show the top
25 most frequently accessed Web sites, the top 25 users of bandwidth by IP address,
and the top 25 services consuming the most bandwidth.
Click Log on the left side of the browser window, and then click the Reports tab at
the top of the window.
The Reports window includes the following functions and commands:
• Start Data Collection
Click Start Data Collection to begin log analysis. When log analysis is enabled,
the button label changes to Stop Data Collection.
• Reset Data
Click Reset to clear the report statistics and begin a new sample period. The
sample period is also reset when data collection is stopped or started, and when
the SonicWALL is restarted.
• View Data
Select the desired report from the Report to view menu. The options are Web
Site Hits, Bandwidth Usage by IP Address, and Bandwidth Usage by
Service. These reports are explained below. Click Refresh Data to update the
report. The length of time analyzed by the report is displayed in the Current
Sample Period.
