How to get bandwidth usage logs

Milos

I am redirecting authorized, blocked and warning logs to a GrayLog server and there doing some log analyses.

This works well as now I'm able to monitor accessed websites etc.

To move forward, I would need to have an idea of the bandwidth used per IP / website. Which log should be enabled for this.

For example, my final goal is to monitor how many MBs / GBs an user was exchanging (upload / download) with Facebook for example. Or, how much content someone downloaded from Torrent, etc.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi @Milos
Currently device not support sending traffic log including Username/Network bandwidth/ Destination Web Site/ Timestamp.

Hi @Milos  

Current USG is able list how many times that user accessing to WebSite.

But your requirement needs analyzed by additional server. You may consider SecuReporter.

It can list all of users accessing history and timestamp to the website.

And it is able list how many bandwidth is used.

Thanks! If I understand correctly, secu reporter is not yet live, only available to a limited group of testers in beta. On our end, we're building our own secu reporter if I may say so, and need to know what logs is ZyXEL USG able to send. We are interested in bandwidth usage logs per IP and traffic type.

Any news on this?

Thanks to ZyXEL that they started do carry about their custommers needs. I have checked the SecuReporter but I miss one elementary report - overall bandwidth usage (current and historical per WAN/LAN port in KB/s or Kb/s or Mb/s..whatever but not only a pps like now, THANKS!

@IntL_Daniel, how did you started using the SecuManager?

Hi @Milos,

 

To use SecuReporter, you need to upgrade the device to firmware 4.32.  

Go to myZyxel.com to activate the SecuReporter trial service.

 

On ZyWALL, go to CONFIGURATION > Cloud CNM > SecuReporter.

Enable “Enable SecuReporter” and “Include Traffic Log”.

Go to MONITOR > UTM Statistics. Make sure “Collect Statistics” of each UTM service is enabled.

On SecuRepoter, go to Settings > Add Organization and add ZyWALL to the organization.

Login to SecuReporter with your myZyxel.com account.

Hi @sk8erbender,

For USG310, SecuReporter will be available on the device ZLD 4.33 firmware in January of 2019.

We use PRTG Network monitor with our Zyxel Routers.  https://www.paessler.com/bandwidth_monitoring  The Free version will allow you to see bandwidth usage.  It's all done via SNMP.

I wish Zyxel SecurReporter would have similar functionality, but it doesn't.  

Here's an example.  Inbound and outbound traffic are shown as above and below the centerline.
