Basic statistics

Reset interface statistics

This option resets statistics of the selected interface. It is available only if the mouse

pointer is hovering an interface at the moment when the context menu is opened.

Refresh

This option will refresh the information on the Interface Statistics tab immediately. This

function is equal to the function of the Refresh button at the bottom of the window.

Auto refresh

Settings for automatic refreshing of the information on the Interface Statistics tab. Infor-

mation can be refreshed in the interval from 5 seconds up to 1 minute or the auto refresh

function can be switched off (No refresh).

Manage Columns

Use this option to select and unselect items (columns) which will (not) be displayed in the

table (see chapter

3.2

).

Remove interface statistics

This option removes the selected interface from the statistics. Only inactive interfaces

(i.e. disconnected network adapters, hung-up dial-ups, disconnected VPN tunnels or VPN

servers which no client is currently connected to) can be removed. Whenever a removed

interface is activated again (upon connection of the VPN tunnel, etc.), it is added to the

statistics automatically.

Graphical view of interface load

The traffic processes for a selected interface (transfer speed in B/s) and a specific time period

can be viewed in the chart provided in the bottom window of the Interface statistics tab. Use

the Show details / Hide details button to show or hide this chart (the show mode is set by

default).

The period (2 hours or 1 day) can be selected in the Time interval box. The selected time range

is always understood as the time until now (“last 2 hours” or “last 24 hours”).

The x axis of the chart represents time and the y axis represents traffic speed. The x axis is

measured accordingly to a selected time period, while measurement of the y axis depends on

the maximal value of the time interval and is set automatically (bytes per second is the basic

measure unit — B/s).

Select an option for Picture size to set a fixed format of the chart or to make it fit to the

Administration Console screen.

The legend above the graph shows the sampling interval (i.e. the time for which a sum of

connections or messages is counted and is displayed in the graph).
