Monitor Users

You are here: Monitor > Maps and Charts > Users.

Use this page to view information about top users accessing high bandwidth-consuming applications and establishing higher number of sessions on your network. Based on this information, network administrators can control the user by rate-limit a device that is accessing applications which consume large bandwidth or create maximum traffic.

Note:

Users page is available on all the SRX Series Firewalls except the SRX5000 line of devices.

You can select either the Grid View tab or the Chart View tab to view your data:

Grid View—View the comprehensive details of users in a tabular format that includes sortable columns. You can group the users using Top users by volume, Top apps by volume, timespan, username etc. The table includes information such as the username, volume, top users by volume and so on. Table 1 describes the fields on the Grid View page.
Chart View—View a brief summary of all the users. It shows the top 50 users consuming maximum bandwidth in your network. The data is presented graphically as a bubble graph, heat map, or zoomable bubble graph. Table 2 describes the widgets on the Chart View page.
