Monitoring Traffic : About Viewing Statistics

About Viewing Statistics
This section discusses methods for viewing additional details about report charts and graphs. It includes:
Understanding Traffic Direction
In Appliance Manager, statistics and reports either reference the direction of the flow or the point(s) where the data is collected:
n
LAN-to-WAN refers to traffic exiting the LAN, destined for the WAN.
This flow is also referred to as outbound traffic.
n
WAN-to-LAN refers to traffic coming from the WAN, destined for the LAN.
This flow is also referred to as inbound traffic.
Tip Here’s a helpful mnemonic for remembering the difference:

- Rx is “Receive fRom”, so LAN Rx is “receive from LAN”
- Tx is “Transmit To”, so LAN Tx is “transmit to LAN”
Viewing Counters Since Last Reboot
By default, the statistics that display in the following reports have accumulated since the last reboot: Applications, Tunnel QoS, Tunnels, Flow Redirection, NetFlow, and Interfaces.
To verify this, note that Actual Stats button is selected.
Clearing Counters Non-Destructively
To non-destructively set the counters to zero, click Delta Stats. To update the statistics, you can manually refresh the page whenever you want. Or, you can select from one of intervals in the same menu.
To restore the values since the last reboot, click Actual Stats.
Exporting Statistical Data
For some statistics, Appliance Manager provides Download Data or Export button for downloading the data as a .csv (comma-separated values) file. In summary:
