Kerio StaR — statistics and reporting

268

Note: Within local systems, secured traffic would be useless and the browser would bother

user with needless alerts.

Remote access to the statistics

It is also possible to access the statistics remotely, i.e. from any host which is allowed to

connect to the WinRoute host and the web interface’s ports, by using the following methods:

If the host is connected to WinRoute by the Administration Console, the Internet Usage

Statistics link available under Status Statistics can be used. This link opens the
secured StaR interface for statistics in the default web browser.

Note: URL for this link consists of the name of the server and of the port of the

secured Web interface defined in the configuration (see chapter

11.1

). This guarantees

function of the link from the WinRoute host and from the local network. To make

Internet Usage Statistics link work also for remote administration over the Internet,

name of the particular server must be defined in the public DNS (with the IP address

of the particular firewall) and traffic rules must allow access to the port of the secured

Web interface(4081 by default).

Figure 21.4

Link for viewing of the statistics in

the Administration Console (status → Statistics)

At https://server:4081/star or http://server:4080/star This URL works for

the StaR only. If the user has not appropriate rights to view statistics, an error is

reported.

At https://server:4081/ or http://server:4080/. This is the primary URL of the

WinRoute’s web interface. If the user possesses appropriate rights for stats viewing,

the StaR welcome page providing overall statistics (see below) is displayed. Otherwise,

the My Account page is opened (this page is available to any user).
