## 20.1 Volume of transferred data and quota usage

The User Statistics of the Status → Statistics section provides detailed statistics on volume of data transmitted by individual users during various time periods (today, this week, this month and total).

The Quota column provides usage of transfer quota by a particular user in percents (see chapter 15.1 Viewing and definitions of user accounts). Colors are used for better reference:

- green — `0%-74%` of the quota is used

- yellow — `75%-99%` of the quota is used

- red — `100%` (limit reached)

Note:

1. User quota consists of three limits: daily, weekly and monthly. The Quota column provides the highest value of the three percentual values (if the daily usage is `50%` of the daily quota, the weekly usage is `90%` and the monthly usage is `70%`, yellowed 90% value is displayed in the Quota column).

2. Monthly quota is reset automatically at the beginning of an accounting period. This period may differ from a civil month (see chapter 21.2 Settings for statistics and quota).

The all users line provides total volume of data transmitted by all users in the table (even of the unrecognized ones). The unrecognized users item includes all users who are currently not authenticated at the firewall. These lines do not include quota usage information.

Note:

1. Optionally, other columns providing information on volume of data transmitted in individual time periods in both directions can be displayed. Direction of data transmission is related to the user (the IN direction stands for data received by the user, while OUT represents data sent by the user). Hiding/showing of columns is addressed in chapter 3.2 Administration Console - view preferences.

2. Information of volume of data transferred by individual users is saved in the `stats.cfg` file in the WinRoute directory. This implies that this data will be saved the next time the WinRoute Firewall Engine will be started.

### User Quota dialog options

Right-click on the table (or on an item of a selected user) to open the context menu with the following options:

Figure 20.2. User Quota context menu

Delete User Traffic Counters

  Removal of the selected line with data referring to a particular user. This option is helpful for reference purposes only (e.g. to exclude blocked user accounts from the list, etc.). Removed accounts will be added to the overview automatically when data in the particular account is changed (e.g. when we unblocked an account and its user connects and starts to communicate again).

  ### Warning

  Be aware that using this option for the all users item resets counters of all users, including unrecognized ones!

  Note: Values of volumes of transferred data are also used to check user traffic quota (see chapter 15.1 Viewing and definitions of user accounts). Reset of user statistics also unblocks traffic of the particular user in case that the traffic has been blocked for quota reasons.

View host...

  This option is not available unless the selected user is connected to the firewall. The View host option switches to the Status → Active Hosts section of the host the particular user is connected from.

  If the user is connected from multiple hosts, the View host option opens a submenu with a list of all hosts which the particular user is connected from.

Refresh

  This option will refresh the information on the User Statistics tab immediately. This function is equal to the function of the Refresh button at the bottom of the window.

Auto refresh

  Settings for automatic refreshing of the information on the User Statistics tab. Information can be refreshed in the interval from 5 seconds up to 1 minute or the auto refresh function can be switched off (No refresh).

Manage Columns

  Use this option to select and unselect items (columns) which will (not) be displayed in the table (see chapter 3.2 Administration Console - view preferences).
