21.2 Settings for statistics and quota

257

Enable/disable gathering of statistic data

The Gather Internet Usage statistics option enables/disables all statistics (i.e. stops gath-

ering of data for statistics).

The Monitor user browsing behavior option enables monitoring and logging of browsing

activity of individual users. If is not necessary to gather these statistics, it is recom-

mended to disable this option (this reduces demands to the firewall and saves the server’s

disk space).

You can use the Keep at most... parameter to specify a time period for which the data will

be kept (i.e. the age of the oldest data that will be available). This option affects disk space

needed for the statistics remarkably. To save disk space, it is therefore recommended to

keep the statistics only for a necessary period.

Advanced settings for statistics

The Advanced button opens a dialog where parameters can be set for viewing of statistics

in the Kerio StaR interface (see chapter

20

).

Kerio StaR advanced options

The Show user names in statistics by... option enables select a mode of how users and

their names will be displayed in individual user statistics. Full names can be displayed as

first name second name or second name, first name. Optionally, it is also possible to view

full names followed by username without or with domain (if Active Directory mapping is

used).

Statistics and quota accounting periods

Accounting period is a time period within which information of transferred data volume

and other information is gathered. Statistics enable generating of weekly and monthly

overviews. In Accounting Periods, it is possible to define starting days for weekly and

monthly periods (for example, in statistics, a month can start on day 15 of the civil

month and end on day 14 of the following civil month).

The parameter of first day of monthly period also sets when the monthly transferred

data counter of individual users will be set to zero (for monthly quota details, see chap-

ter

15.2

).

Note: Setting of accounting period does not affect log rotation (see chapter

22.1

).
