11. Monitor System Access and
Performance
This chapter describes the system-monitoring features of the UTM. You can be alerted to
important events such as a WAN port rollover, WAN traffic limits reached, login failures, and
attacks. You can also view status information about the firewall, WAN ports, LAN ports, active
VPN users and tunnels, and more. In addition, the diagnostics utilities are described. This
chapter contains the following sections:
• Enable the WAN Traffic Meter
• Configure Logging, Alerts, and Event Notifications
• Monitor Real-Time Traffic, Security, and Statistics
• Monitor Application Use in Real Time
• View Status Screens
• Query and Manage the Logs
• Query and Manage the Quarantine Logs
• View, Schedule, and Generate Reports
• Use Diagnostics Utilities
Note: All log and report functions that are part of the Logs & Reports
screen and some of the functions that are part of the Diagnostics
screen require that you configure the email notification server—see
Configure the Email Notification Server on page 466.
Enable the WAN Traffic Meter
If your ISP charges by traffic volume over a given period, or if you want to study traffic types
over a period, you can activate the traffic meter for one or more WAN ports, and for the
UTM9S and UTM25S, also for the xDSL (SLOT-1 or SLOT-2) and USB ports.
