Find a device that consumes bandwidth in Firebox WebUI

Hi all,

Under DASHBOARD - Interfaces - Bandwidth I see this.

As far as I understand it is a continuous bandwidth utilization.
How do I find a device that utilizes bandwidth in WebUI?

    Firewatch, the bigger the square, the more bandwidth it's using.
    The front panel dashboard may also provide clues based on the top client log item.

  • Thanks guys.
    Another question I have, under DASHBOARD - Interfaces the chart shows bandwidth utilization but doesn't show timing.

    Is it configurable?
    If not what can I use instead to see time scale.

  • Top right of that page - is the graph interval of data being displayed - from 20 mins, to 7 days - 6 options in total

    Yeah I know I can select graph interval.
    However, I need to see time interval on the graph itself.
    Say, I select 7 days.
    However, on the chart I don't see MON, TUE, WED, THU and etc.
    Same for daily, I don't see 09.00, 10.00, 11.00 and etc.
    Can I see that with built-in tools or should install or use some add-ons?

    There is no option to see the days or hours on that graph.

    Other options:
    1) log to Dimension - Top Clients list. Appropriate logging is needed to get accurate results
    Dimension is free, but it runs in a VM, and requires an active support license on your firewall for reporting to work.
    2) if you have managed switches, use SMPT tools to graph switch & firewall port bandwidth usage. PRTG & MRTG are some examples. MRTG is free. PRTG has a free version which monitors up to 100 measuring points.
    3) WSM Firebox System Manager - HostWatch shows real time usage of existing sessions.
