Enable/disable gathering of statistic data
The Gather Internet Usage statistics option enables/disables all statistics (i.e. stops gath-
ering of data for statistics).
The Gather Users’ Activity records option enables gathering of detailed information about
activity of individual users (visited web sites, transferred files, etc. — see chapter
). If
is not necessary to gather these statistics, it is recommended to disable this option (this
reduces demands to the firewall and avoids creating of needless files on the disk).
You can use the Keep at most... parameter to specify a time period for which the data will
be kept (i.e. the age of the oldest data that will be available). This option affects disk space
needed for the statistics remarkably. To save disk space, it is therefore recommended to
keep the statistics only for a necessary period.
Advanced settings for statistics
The Advanced button opens a dialog where parameters can be set for viewing of statistics
in the Kerio StaR interface (see chapter
).

The Show user names in statistics by... option enables select a mode of how users and
their names will be displayed in individual user statistics. Full names can be displayed as
first name second name or second name, first name. Optionally, it is also possible to view
full names followed by username without or with domain (if Active Directory mapping is
used).
Statistics and quota accounting periods
Accounting period is a time period within which information of transferred data volume
and other information is gathered. Statistics enable generating of weekly and monthly
overviews. In Accounting Periods, it is possible to define starting days for weekly and
monthly periods (for example, in statistics, a month can start on day 15 of the civil
month and end on day 14 of the following civil month). For details, see chapter
.
The parameter of first day of monthly period also sets when the monthly transferred data
counter of individual users will be set to zero (for monthly quota details, see chapter
and
).
Note: Setting of accounting period does not affect log rotation — rotation is bound to
weeks or months (for details, see chapter
).
