Smartview Monitor graph

[zn-me]

Hi All,

I m using Smartview Monitor. I ran a report for Inbound traffic on Checkpoint External interface (WAN).

I notice high HTTP traffic but what does "All Traffic" (represent as grey line in graph) means?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Just what it says, all the traffic going through the firewall/interface

Hi chillyjim,

Goodness.. you replied to both of my threads today... thanks.

Back to my question, that is what I suspect aslo.. but I could not explain why there was a network spike for all traffic between Jan 06 and 07 but http traffic is not consistent with it.

What do you think?

Try running the monitor filtering for just that day (I think you can do this, but you might need reporter, I don't have a client handy to check). The traffic is being generated by a protocol you don't normally see on your network is all I can tell.

If that's an Internet-facing system, then most likely cause is that it was just random Internet-noise - e.g. worm-affected system, or perhaps Windows messenger spam.

Look in your logs.
