Bandwidth Usage

rsenio

I'm super confused about an issue I'm having. The last few weeks I've had a PC on my network at the top of the list in terms of bandwidth usage. Heads and tails above the rest.

 

For example, today...only an hour and a half into the work day they're at 14.8 GB when I view the Network Usage - Bandwidth Usage report.

 

Viewing the details of this PC shows

13.2 GB

1.5 GB

Yet when I look at the web report Top user by Traffic for today I'm only seeing this user at 144MB.

So how can I tell what is happening on this PC, for http-alt 8080? Something causing a large amount of traffic to the UTM on port 8080 from this PC? 

I'm confused

    Does the web browser in that PC have the UTM defined as an explicit Proxy?  Is the Web Filtering log full of rejections of surf attempts by that PC?

    Yep, this is controlled by group policy. And the web filtering log isn't abnormal compared to other PC's on the network. The odd block from visiting a site that has content from Facebook etc. Funny thing is that the PC was at the top of the usage list, higher than the actual WAN IP...which is normally at the top.

    It's probably time to put a packet capture on that traffic from the UTM to the PC.  It almost seems like there's something that the UTM keeps trying to send something to the PC, but something at the PC isn't accepting it fast enough.  What happens if you do a proxy restart?

    /var/mdw/scripts/httpproxy restart
