Settingthe additional options for appearance and behavior of Kerio Network Monitor can be done on the Others tab.
- Do NOT save mail message body
Kerio Network Monitor will not store the contents of captured E-mail messages (only the sender and the recipient address are stored).
Note: Monitored and stored can be only messages, which are not transferred using encrypted protocols (in the other case only amount of transferred data can be measured).
Warning: Keep in mind that monitoring the contents of E-mail violates user privacy! If this option is not enabled, all the users should be informed that theirs mail is monitored!
- ICQ privacy
Use this option to define how communication through ICQ and ICQ2Go protocols will be monitored:
No privacy — all transferred data will be monitored (ICQ numbers, nicknames, message bodies)
Do not save text of messages — Kerio Network Monitor will not store content of individual messages (only ICQ numbers and nicknames will be monitored)
Disable ICQ analysator — data transferred through ICQ and ICQ2Go will not be analysed.
Note: This can be also done by disabling detailed protocol analysis in ICQ definition (see chapter 6.2). This implies that monitoring is enabled only if either the No privacy or the Do not save text of messages is used and if detailed protocol analysis is not enabled in ICQ configuration.
- Do NOT save tapped HTTP data
Kerio Network Monitor will not store the content of the captured WWW pages. Enabling this option can radically save disk space of the computer. The option HTTP will not be available in the Tapped data window(it will not be possible to view pages visited by individual users).
Note: Monitored and stored can be only pages, which are not transferred using encrypted protocol HTTPS (in the other case it is possible only to measure the volume of the transferred data).
- Do NOT log HTTP requests for images...
When opening the WWW pages in the browser, an HTTP request must be send for each object contained in the page (picture, script, etc.). In the HTTP Log are by default logged all the HTTP requests. Enabling this option makes only the pages themselves to be logged — HTTP Log will be much shorter and easier to read. Such HTTP log is sufficient enough in the majority of cases.
Note: The log of requests to window / file HTTP Log can be done only if the communication is via the HTTP protocol. In case of the encrypted HTTPS protocol only the volume of transferred data is logged.
- Include IP packet headers...
Enabling this option causes the total size of transferred data to be counted from whole IP packets including the headers. Its use depends on the data you want to get.
Note: If you want to compare data acquired by Kerio Network Monitor with data from other programs or with the data from the Internet provider, it is necessary to find out, which methods are used for getting them and set the option Include IP packet headers of Kerio Network Monitor in accordance.
- Daemon process priority class
Kerio Network Monitor priority definition. The high priority is set by the default. We recommend you to change this status under the following conditions only:
the service overloads the system — set lower process priority
Note: This solution is temporary only — we recommend you to use more powerful hardware.
packet loss is often reported in the Error Log for lack of system capacity (refer to chapter 7.7) — set higher process priority
- Show NetMon in
This option defines how should the Kerio Network Monitor be represented: Taskbar only , System tray only or Both taskbar and system tray (both places).
