Bandwidth Graph data hard to read.

Hi,

On 3.208,
the Network Graphs, some of the text is orange on gray... this is a little hard to read.

If you click on one of the graphs, to get more detail for that device, e.g. "web - Internal network traffic - Complete overview", it is now YELLOW on gray... practically invisible.

Also it would be nice if the numbers below were in KBytes or KBits instead of bytes.

Thanks,
Barry

I have to agree with you here.

Esp. on the Kbit/Kbyte since its not really interesting to know of i use 37Kbit or XXXXX whatever bits.

Should be bits tho since the graphs show in bits and not bytes

Hi,
you are absolutely right on that. :-)
Since that error is just of a cosmetical nature, it has a relatively low priority (yes, there's still enough work to do for every one of us *g*).

I added this point to the bug list so it doesn't get lost. Next time someone works on that piece of code it will get cleaned up. Thanks for your feedback!

Greets,
andreas

Well, I am living in London (komme aber aus Wilhelmshaven) and to qoute Otto Walkes correctly: "Weisser Adler auf weissen Grund" !!

BTW: And please change the Speedgraph to Byte per seconds instead of Bits.. I am always wondering why DSL is doing 256Kbyte....

Another problem with the charts is that if the firewall computer is shutdown the graphs seem to hold at the last recorded value. This makes them impossible to read and practically useless for bandwidth monitoring in situations where the firewall doesn't run 24/7.

As for bits vs Bytes; bits is far more appropriate and accepted for interface metrics.

In 3.214, the "network traffic - Complete overview" graphs are still hard to read (Peach on gray).

e.g.
https://firewall_url/?SID=1667945938491&id=0037&DEV_DETAIL=eth1

This STILL hasn't been fixed as of 3.215.

The "network traffic - Complete overview" graphs are still hard to read (Peach on gray).
