Monitoring hosts and users in real time
The Hosts/Users widgets in the Realtime Monitor shows the top internal hosts by bandwidth consumption observed during the last 10 seconds. The data displayed answers questions such as:
- My link is congested. Which hosts are on my network right now?
The Realtime Monitor separates inbound and outbound host/user traffic. The traffic is sorted by transfer rate. The packet rate and a number of flows in the preceding 10 second period are shown. The user name of the internal hosts will also be displayed if configured.
The Distribution percentage shows the proportion of bandwidth consumption of each host relative to all hosts for the period. You can set the chart to refresh frequently or infrequently or not at all. Each refresh shows 10 seconds of data.
