Kerio StaR — statistics and reporting

278

Updating data in StaR — to WinRoute, gathering and evaluation of information for

StaR means processing of large data volumes. To reduce load on the firewall, data

for StaR is updated approximately once in an hour (see information about the last

data update).

Delay in recording of activities — each activity is recorded 15 minutes after it’s

finished. The reason for this is that similar activities in row are counted as one

record (for better transparency of user’s activity).

2.

User’s activity can be shown for up to 7 days (for better transparency). If a longer period

is selected, shorter periods covering the selected period will be provided.

Activity Categories

Detected activities are sorted in a few categories. Under the title of each category, summary

information (total number of connections, total volume of transferred data, etc.) is provided,

followed by detailed overview of activities. Details can be optionally hidden. If a period longer

than one day is selected, records are divided in sections by days. Daily records can be also

optionally hidden (by clicking on the date header).

Each activity record includes this time information: start time and duration of the activity. If

an activity is marked as unfinished, the particular connection has not been closed yet (it is still

open).

Activity categories are ordered as listed in the following description. If there was no corre-

sponding activity by the user in the selected period, the category will not be shown.

Web Pages

This category addresses one of the top user activities, web browsing.
