Thanks Raido, but the 15 minute intervals is too broad to see what sort of peaks may have occurred in that time. If I had 1GB of data in 15 minute period was that 1MB/sec fairly constantly or was that peaks of 50MB/sec for only 20 seconds or so, very different as to what type of connection I will require.  Several broadband providers asked for our bandwidth peaks in per second intervals to size the pipe properly. We don't have external monitoring nor do we use of SNMP so can't do that. Going on previous experience with watchguard and microtik devices I thought this sort of statistic would have come as part of the device, especially as it can already show realtime statistic. Maybe there is a feature enhancement list somewhere this could be added to?  (but that won't help my situation today). Cheers, Bryce. ... View more

Thanks for links. I have been searching community also.  Nothing seems to make it easy, the most promising was the achrome addon but comments say it doesn't work with PA versions 9 or 10. The cacti solution seems too much overhead and setup for wanting such a simple statistic/graph output. Other solutions all seem to give averages, I need to know my peaks to size the pipe appropriately. I would have expected the firewall to be able to give this info, especially since it already knows this data in real time and can display that, so very disappointed 😞 ... View more
