Remote access Kerio Network Monitor has separated monitoring service (Daemon) and
the user interface. These two components communicate together via the TCP/IP pro-
tocol. It results in the possibility of watching and configuration not only locally but
also remotely from any other computer.
WWW access Kerio Network Monitor contains embedded WWW server, which enables
viewing and evaluation of the data using a standard WWW browser. It offers major
part of the functions, which are included in the user interface (with exception of the
program configuration).
User accounts When connecting to the service, user name and password are required.
Therefore more users can be connected simultaneously to Kerio Network Monitor
with different levels of the access rights (viewing, configuration, administration of
the user accounts, ...).
Export of data The data created by Kerio Network Monitor is possible to be further
processed: the chart can be stored as an image, the statistics for particular time
frame can be stored into the CSV format (can be processed by e.g. Microsoft Excel),
the logs can be processed by an external analyzer (e.g. Kerio Log Analyzer).
