Viewing activity reports in Kerio Control Statistics

Kerio Control Statistics is a web interface where you can view your own browsing statistics.

The statistics show traffic between the local network and the Internet. They do not include volumes of data transferred between local hosts and web pages on local servers.

Statistics are primarily used to create reports for a specified period. Gathering and evaluating statistics requires processing large volumes of data. To reduce the load on the firewall, the data is updated hourly, so, you cannot use Kerio Control Statistics for real-time monitoring of user activity.
