Kerio StaR - statistics and reporting
connects from the Internet to the remote desktop on the workstation, this connection (and
data transferred within the connection) will be correctly included in the user’s statistics and
quota.
The following example addresses case of a mapped web server accessible from the Internet.
Any (anonymous) user in the Internet can connect to the server. However, web servers are
usually located on a special machine which is not used by any user. Therefore, all traffic of
this server will be accounted for users who are “not logged in”.
However, if any user is connected to the firewall from the server, any traffic between clients
in the Internet and the web server is accounted as an activity of this user. If this user also
reaches their data volume quota, corresponding restrictions will be applied to this web server
( see chapters 16.2 and 10.2).
21.2 Settings for statistics and quota
Under certain circumstances (too many connected users, great volume of transmitted data, low
capacity of the Kerio Control host, etc.), viewing of statistics may slow the firewall and data
transmission (Internet connection) down. Be aware of this fact while opening the statistics.
Therefore, Kerio Control allows such configuration of statistics that is customized so that only
useful data is gathered and useful statistics created. It is also possible to disable creation of
statistics if desirable. This would save operation space of Kerio Control as well as the disk
space of its host.
Statistics settings also affect monitoring of volume of transferred data against user quota
(refer to chapters 16.1 and 20).
Use the Statistics / Quota tab in Configuration → Accounting to set gathering of statistical data
and accounting periods for quota and statistics.
