Products

• Cloud Secure Web Gateway - Cloud SWG

Issue/Introduction

As an administrator,  I would like to be able to identify identify which client IP/user/application is consuming more bandwidth.

Environment

Web Security Service

Resolution

In order to see bandwidth consumption, you can generate the bandwidth usage report using the WSS portal (https://portal.threatpulse.com/) by following below steps:

1. Navigate to WSS portal > Reports tab.

2. Under Bandwidth Usage label, click on Bandwidth Cost per User and Site and it will show you the bandwidth usage per user and site.

Bandwidth Used per Month is another report you can run and drill down to specific month to show which users/client ip/web applications etc. are generating most traffic.

The bandwidth is calculated for a complete web request between client to webserver.
