Kerio StaR - statistics and reporting
Note: Within local systems, secured traffic would be useless and the browser would bother
user with needless alerts.
Remote access to the statistics
It is also possible to access the statistics remotely, i.e. from any host which is allowed
to connect to the Kerio Control host and the web interface’s ports, by using the following
methods:
• If the host is connected to Kerio Control by the Administration Console, the Internet
Usage Statistics link available under Status → Statistics can be used. This link opens
the secured StaR interface for statistics in the default web browser.
Note: URL for this link consists of the name of the server and of the port of the secured
web interface see chapter 12.1). This guarantees function of the link from the Kerio
Control host and from the local network. To make Internet Usage Statistics link work
also for remote administration over the Internet, name of the particular server must
be defined in the public DNS (with the IP address of the particular firewall) and traffic
rules must allow access to the port of the secured Web interface(4081 by default).
Figure 21.4 Link for viewing of the statistics in
the Administration Console (status → Statistics)
• At https://server:4081/star or http://server:4080/star This URL works for
the StaR only. If the user has not appropriate rights to view statistics, an error is
reported.
• At https://server:4081/ or http://server:4080/. This is the primary URL of
the Kerio Control’s web interface. If the user possesses appropriate rights for stats
viewing, the StaR welcome page providing overall statistics (see below) is displayed.
Otherwise, the My Account page is opened (this page is available to any user).
Warning:
In case of access via the Internet (i.e. from a remote host) it is recommended to use only the
secured version of the web interface. The other option would be too risky.
