Viewing Connections Monitor

The Connections Monitor displays real-time, configurable views of all connections to and through a SonicWALL security appliance.

To view connections monitor data, complete the following steps:

1	In the left pane, select the global icon, a group, or a SonicWALL appliance.

2	Click the Policies tab. In the center pane, navigate to Diagnostics > Connections Monitor.

 

3	Select the filters values to sort by.

You can filter the results to display only connections matching certain criteria. You can filter by Source IP, Destination IP, Destination Port, Protocol, Source Interface, and Destination Interface. Enter your filter criteria in the Active Connections Monitor Settings table.

The fields you enter values into are combined into a search string with a logical AND. For example, if you enter values for Source IP and Destination IP, the search string looks for connections matching:

Source IP AND Destination IP

Check the Group Filters box next to any two or more criteria to combine them with a logical OR. For example, if you enter values for Source IP, Destination IP, and Protocol, and check Group Filter next to Source IP and Destination IP, the search string looks for connections matching:

(Source IP OR Destination IP) AND Protocol

4	Click Fetch Active Connections Monitor to apply the filter immediately to the Active Connections Monitor table. The scheduler displays.

5	Expand Schedule by clicking the plus icon.

6	Select Immediate or specify a future date and time.

7	Click Accept. The updated Connections Monitor page displays.
