Status Information
Kerio Control activities can be well monitored by the administrator (or by other users with
appropriate rights). There are three types of information — status monitoring, statistics and
logs.
• Communication of each computer, users connected or all connections using Kerio
Control can be monitored.
Note:
1. Kerio Control 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
warning reports, debug information etc.). Each item is represented by one row starting
with a timestamp (date and time of the event). Events reported are in English only (they
are generated by the Kerio Control 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 Kerio Control
for communication with the Internet will be displayed.
Note: For more details about the firewall user’s logon, see chapter 11.1.
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.
