The length of time analyzed by the report is displayed in the Current Sample Period.

Web Site Hits

Selecting Web Site Hits from the drop-down displays a table showing the URLs for the 25 most frequently accessed Web sites and the number of hits to a site during the current sample period.

The Web Site Hits report ensures that the majority of Web access is to appropriate Web sites. If leisure, sports, or other inappropriate sites appear in the Web Site Hits Report, you can choose to block the sites. For information on blocking inappropriate Web sites refer to the Objects > Profile Objects > Content Filter command in SonicOS 7.1 Objects Guide.

Bandwidth Usage by IP Address

Selecting Bandwidth Usage by IP Address from the drop-down displays a table showing the IP address of the 25 top users of Internet bandwidth and the number of megabytes transmitted during the current sample period.

Bandwidth Usage by Service

Selecting Bandwidth Usage by Service from the drop-down displays a table showing the name of the 25 top Internet services, such as HTTP, FTP, RealAudio, and so on, and the number of megabytes received from the service during the current sample period.

The Bandwidth Usage by Service report shows whether the services being used are appropriate for your organization. If services such as video or push broadcasts are consuming a large portion of the available bandwidth, you can choose to block these services.
