Investigate Bandwidth utilization on Palo Alto Firewall

[majidsolehri]

In Palo Alto, we are facing an issue where when our office is open, our bandwidth graph reaches its maximum, and when the office is closed, the bandwidth graph is down. We need to verify which IP address on the LAN network is creating this cause. LAN network connected to Palo Alto firewall, and DHCP is configured

Hi @majidsolehri ,

You can use the Palo Alto Networks firewall's built-in monitoring and logging features. You can easily identify the exact IP addresses and applications consuming the most bandwidth.

The ACC provides a quick, visual overview of your network traffic.

• Navigate to ACC in your firewall's web interface.

• Look for the Network Activity tab.

• Find the Applications Usage widget. This shows which applications are using the most bandwidth.

• Find the User Activity or Source IP Activity widget to see which machines are the top bandwidth consumers.

Hope this helps,

-Kim.
