12. Sample Report:View Client Total Traffic • View a month, day by day (only the first 14 days have data) • The selected Clients are color coded • Here you can see that, on the selected dates, one client (x.x.x.3) is much more active than the other (x.x.x.202) • Total traffic readings are available

13. Sample Advanced Report:Servers on Policies (VC’s or Pipes) • View a day, hour by hour • The selected servers on specific VC’s or Pipes are color coded • Here you can see that the total traffic, on a selected date, per server (for example, x.x.x.27 is the most active between 11am and 1pm)
