Statistics & Logs > Accounting
This report gives the details of the amount of data transferred in bytes through the system on every interface
(LAN, WAN, DMZ). The Accounting function records all the IP packets on the external network cards and sums
up their sizes. Each day’s total is calculated once a day. Additionally, the number of bytes of data is calculated
for each month.
The displayed traffic will match what your ISP charges if your service is volume-based.
Important:
You define which interfaces and networks are included on this screen in the
Tracking >
Accounting
menu.
Interface Based Accounting
Display accounting information for all the interfaces. Interfaces must be added on the
Tracking >
Accounting
screen.
IP Based Accounting
Displays a graph of traffic from/to the selected IP address.
Note:
If there are no entries in the drop down list box, you can add them on the
Tracking > Accounting
screen in the IP-Based Accounting section.
VPN Based Accounting
Displays the accounting information for all the IPSec tunnels that are currently enabled.
Statistics & Logs > Self Monitor
The Self Monitoring
function ensures the integrity of the RouteFinder system and informs the administrator of
important events by email. Self Monitoring controls the function, performance, and security of the system
parameters and takes regulating measures when it detects divergences that go beyond a certain tolerance. The
system administrator then receives a report via email.
Self Monitoring
considerably reduces maintenance, as manual intervention becomes almost obsolete, resulting
in less work for the administrator.
The RouteFinder’s Self Monitoring
function ensures that the central services (e.g., the RouteFinder MiddleWare
daemon, the Syslog daemon, the HTTP proxy, or the network accounting daemon) function smoothly. The
access rights to files are controlled, as is the individual process’ share of consumption of the system resources.
This prevents any possible RouteFinder overload. The administrator is also notified of any possible future
resource shortage, such as a hard disk running low on space.
If no entries are displayed your RouteFinder is stable.
Click the
Self Monitor Live Log
button to open the report, which provides a record of the processes that have
been restarted due to possible abnormal termination.
