Hi Shamal,

Thanks for your KB thread,

1. While monitoring a device with traffic sensor, from the graph you will be able to monitor the utilization.

2. I am afraid there is no easy answer for this. What you can do is to deploy packet sniffer or Netflow sensor to have an overview of the bandwidth usage. Please check this KB thread for more information. https://kb.paessler.com/en/topic/2923

3 - "Traffic In" shows the amount of incoming traffic through the network interface, so for the device it means means download and "Traffic Out" shows the amount of outgoing traffic through the network interface, which means upload.

4 - Total traffic is the addition of Traffic In and Traffic Out.

Thanks.
