Status Information

WinRoute activities can be well monitored by the administrator (or by other users with ap-

propriate rights). There are three types of information — status monitoring, statistics and

logs.

Communication of each computer, users connected or all connections using WinRoute

can be monitored.

Note:

1.

WinRoute monitors only traffic between the local network and the Internet. The

traffic within the local network is not monitored.

2.

Only traffic allowed by traffic rules (see chapter

7

) can be viewed. If a traffic

attempt which should have been denied is detected, the rules are not well defined.

Statistics provide information on users and network traffic for a certain time period.

Statistics are viewed in the form of charts and tables. For details see chapter

20

.

Logs are files where information about certain activity is reported (e.g. error or warn-

ing reports, debug information etc.). Each item is represented by one row starting with

a timestamp (date and time of the event). In all language versions of WinRoute, reports

recorded are available in English only and they are generated by the WinRoute Firewall

Engine. For details, refer to chapter

22

.

The following chapters describe what information can be viewed and how its viewing can be

changed to accommodate the user’s needs.

19.1 Active hosts and connected users

In Status Active Hosts, the hosts within the local network or active users using WinRoute for
communication with the Internet will be displayed.

Note: For more details about the firewall user’s logon see chapter

10.1

.

Look at the upper window to view information on individual hosts, connected users, data

size/speed, etc.

The following information can be found in the Active Hosts window:

Hostname

DNS name of a host. In case that no corresponding DNS record is found, IP address is

displayed instead.
