HI fooc, 
 IF you want to check if your traffic is Bandwidth shaped. Then you may check via Packet Capture in Diagnostics . Please refer the snaps provided.

Hi, 
 Third option, I introduce you to the Shell command :) 
 Take SSH to XG and go to option 4: device console and execute: 
 system diagnostics utilities bandwidth-monitor 
 Thanks

Fooc, 
 you can apply a QoS to a Policy Rule (for example FTP traffic only) and download packages from an ftp website and verify if the QoS is applied seeing how much bandwidth you use. 
 This is a rudimental method but it works. I am not sure if a log exists inside the logs (from the GUI). 
 Thanks
