Host Connections

The connection reports show actual connections to hosts. The reports for host connections by attribute, by specific user or machine, and connections to a specific host show only sessions that have been opened and closed.

Note

To generate data for the Host Connections report, the Record client host connections setting must be checked in Configure Metering - Server Settings > Metered client.

The All host connection activity report shows all opened connections whether they have been closed or not.

  • Host connection by attribute

    Select an attribute to show the users or machines that completed connections to any host.

    Data can be shown by Username, or by the machine attribute — IP address, Machine name, MAC address, or NetBIOS name. (The MAC address and NetBios name are available only for Windows-based sessions.)

  • Host connections by specific user or machine

    Specify a user or machine to limit the data in the previous report.

    You can use the * symbol as a wild card in IP addresses to limit results to a particular subnet. See the example in Usage by User or Machine.

    Connection Details (date and time) are available for this report by checking Include details on where metered products are used.

  • Host connections to specific host

    Specify a host, and select the type of connections you want to view — by Username or machine attribute.

    Connection Details (date and time) are available for this report by checking Include details on where metered products are used.

  • All host connection activity

    This report shows all of the host connections that were opened during the report period.
