Check which IP address (or User, AD Group) is utilizing more bandwidth

Hi Bro,

 

Is there a way to get a report on traffic usage via email with a list of top users and their usage?

I'm stuck on this problem. Hope someone can share with me.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Regards.

David

Hi @URONMAPU ,

 

You can schedule a report for email delivery.

https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/11-1/pan-os-admin/monitoring/view-and-manage-reports/sched...

 

I believe the information found in the traffic report > sources is giving you the information you are looking for (source IP, username, bytes, sessions, etc,...)

Hi Kim @kiwi 

 

This is a way to schedule reports for daily delivery or delivered weekly on a specified day.
Our bandwidth is maxing out (for example 100MB) and I want to see who is using the most at that time.
I'm looking for a way to see a list of top usernames or IPs and their usage in this case.

Hi @URONMAPU ,

 

You can check the daily reports as shown in the screenshot under Monitor > Reports > Traffic Reports to see the high bandwith users for the past days.

 

Alternatively you can check the ACC tab > Network Activity > User Activity.  Don't forget to select the desired timeframe or create a custom timeframe:

https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-web-interface-help/acc

 

Another way is to go to the Networks tab > QoS and click on the 'Statistics' link on your QoS profile (if you have one):

https://docs.paloaltonetworks.com/pan-os/10-2/pan-os-web-interface-help/network/network-qos/qos-inte...

 

Kind regards,

Hi @kiwi 

 

Is there a quick way to get a report on traffic usage via email?
When our bandwidth is maxing out (or 95%), I will receive an email notification from the system including a list of IPs (or top users) and their usage. No need to access to web interface and do a manually check.
