Network Visualiser

The Network Traffic tool is used to view network utilization on your ClearOS system. This can be useful for:

  • Locating virus infected desktops sending out spam, viruses, etc
  • Pinpointing individuals abusing the network, e.g. downloading movies
  • Checking for unusual network activity

Installation

If your system does not have this app available, you can install it via the Marketplace.

You can find this feature in the menu system at the following location:

<navigation>Network|Bandwidth and QoS|Network Visualiser</navigation>

Configuration

Update Interval

Use the update interval to change the frequency for collecting network data.

Interface

Select the network interface to monitor.

Display

You can view either the total bandwidth over the time interval, or the total network transfer.

Report Format

Three report types are available

  • Tabular
  • Tabular (detailed)
  • Graphical

The tabular formats are useful for determining specific clients and the applications that may be consuming a lot of bandwidth on your network. The graphical report summarizes data coming and going from specific devices on your network. The resulting list is sorted by top bandwidth usage and the top 10 highest consumers of bandwidth are displayed.
