ViewPoint Report Layout
Most ViewPoint reports include a chart and a table. The
chart displays information such as the amount of bandwidth
through the SonicWALL over time. The table provides a
summary of the data displayed in the chart. Several reports
deviate from this layout: the General Status report pre-
sents state information retrieved directly from the
SonicWALL, the Bandwidth Monitor and Service Moni-
tor display dynamic, real-time graphs of network activity
through the SonicWALL, and the Admin Login, User Login,
Failed Login, VPN Events, and System Events reports dis-
play a list of all pertinent events sorted by time.
Next/Previous
Some reports may contain thousands of records, more data
than can be displayed in a single table. These reports will
include Next and Previous links at the top of the table
which allow you to view the subsequent or preceding re-
port data.
Source
The Source is the domain or host name or the IP address of
the device that initiated an event.
Destination
The Destination is the domain or host name or the IP ad-
dress that the event was directed towards.
Event/Hit
There are two primary methods to measure network activ-
ity through the SonicWALL, the amount of data transferred
in bytes or the number of individual events. Depending
upon the report type, events may be called "hits", "events",
or "connections". All of these terms describe a single IP
connection from one location to another location through
the SonicWALL.
KBytes/MBytes
Most ViewPoint reports display data in terms of KBytes or
MBytes. KBytes, an abbreviation for kilobytes, and MBytes,
an abbreviation for megabytes, describe the amount of data
that was transferred through the SonicWALL.
