Overview

Kerio Control Statistics is a web interface where you can view your own browsing statistics. Statistics are primarily used to create reports for a specified period. Gathering and evaluating statistics requires processing large volumes of data. To reduce the load on the firewall, the data is updated hourly, so, you cannot use Kerio Control Statistics for real-time monitoring of user activity.

Note: If you have sufficient access rights, you can also see other users' statistics. The statistics show traffic between the local network and the Internet. They do not include volumes of data transferred between local hosts and web pages on local servers.

Step By Step Guide

Accessing the Web Interface

To open Kerio Control Statistics:

1. Launch your web browser and type your Kerio Control address. The address has this pattern: https://<server>:4081/ where "server" refers to the name or IP address of Kerio Control and 4081 represents a web interface port.
   Note: If your browser displays a warning about certificate invalidity, ignore it and continue.
2. On the Kerio Control Statistics login page, type your Kerio Control username and password. If you do not know your credentials, contact your administrator.
3. Click Login.
   
   

   

Switching between Kerio Control Statistics and account settings

Kerio Control Statistics has two parts:

• Statistics displays statistics and your Internet activities.
• My Account lets you change your password, set 2-step verification, and check your browsing quota.

Use the option in the upper right corner to switch to the other part of the interface.
