Traffic Charts
In the Status Traffic Charts section you can view (in graphical format) the number of connections to individual services of Kerio MailServer and the number of processed messages (both incoming and outgoing) for a given period.
Figure 5. Traffic Charts
The graph allows the following parameter settings:
- Monitored parameter
- Use the first field to choose the monitored parameter: Connections/IMAP the number of connections to the IMAP service Connections/POP3 the number of connections to the POP3 service Connections/SMTP the number of connections to the SMTP service Messages/Received the number of messages processed by the MailServer (the total of outgoing and incoming SMTP messages and messages downloaded from remote POP3 mailboxes)
- Time range
- In the second field you can choose the time range you wish to monitor (the range can be from 2 hours to 30 days). The selected time range is always understood as the time until now (last 2 hours, last 30 days, etc.)
The legend below the graph shows the sampling interval (i.e. the time for which a sum of connections or messages is counted and is displayed in the graph).
Example: If 2 hours is selected as the time range the sampling frequency is 20 seconds. This means that a number of connections and/or messages is counted for the last 20 seconds and is written into the graph.
The Settings button opens the dialog where the detailed settings of a chart can be defined.
Figure 6. Chart Settings
- Y Axis
- Definition of the minimum and maximum values for the y axis. Note:The scale of the x axis is determined by the time range that has been selected.
- Time
- This option defines which time type will be displayed in the chart (either the server time or the local time of the host the Kerio Administration Console is running on. The following rules are applied: If Kerio Administration Console is run on the same host where Kerio MailServer is installed, both time types are equal. The same rule is applied if the times on both hosts are synchronized (e.g. by the NTP protocol or in Windows NT domain). If the times are not synchronized and both hosts are in the same time zone, we recommend to use the server time. If the hosts are in different time zones, any of the two time types can be selected according to your needs.
- Lines in Chart
- Selection of lines and their colors that will be displayed in the chart. Note:Only lines generated by the selected function are displayed in the chart. Only the line #1 is used in charts in Kerio MailServer.
