Top Talkers


 

The Top Talkers section includes reports that show the top hosts and protocols generating traffic through the squid proxy server.

 

The Show bar lets you choose the level of detail in the reports. By default, the top five values are shown. To show more than ten values, the report uses only tables. Click on the pdf export icon to export this report to PDF. Click on the csv export icon to export this report to CSV format (comma separated values).

 

Below each graph click the Hide Details link to hide the table. Click the Show Details link to see the table again.

 

The Top LAN Hosts and the Top LAN Users graphs show the respective top hosts and top users whose requests have been processed by the squid proxy cache itself. The table below the graph shows the host name, IP address, or user name of the source, along with the protocol used, the number of hits, and the total traffic in bytes.

 

The Top WAN Hosts and the Top WAN Users graphs show the respective top hosts and top users whose requests could not be processed by the squid proxy cache. The table below the graph shows the host name, IP address, or user name of the source, along with the protocol used, the number of hits, and the total traffic in bytes.

 

The Top Users (LAN + WAN) shows the top values when the Top LAN Users and Top WAN Users records are combined. The table shows the User, the host name or IP address of the source from which he is conducting the conversation, the type of user (LAN or WAN) , the number of hits and bandwidth usage.
