Overview

GajShield's browsing reports give you visibility into web activity at the level of individual users. Rather than showing only aggregate traffic, the reports let you identify which users account for the most downloads, who generates the most URL hits, and which content categories are most visited across the organization. This is useful for spotting bandwidth-heavy users, understanding where work time is being spent online, and supporting acceptable-use or capacity-planning decisions.

What the report shows

The Top Reports view ranks activity in several ways. You can see top users by download volume, which highlights who is consuming the most bandwidth through downloads; top users by URL hits, which shows the most active browsers by request count; and the categories visited across the organization, which reveals the kinds of sites traffic is going to. Together these give you both a per-user breakdown and an organization-wide view of how the internet connection is being used.

How to view the report

Navigate to Reports > Browsing > Top Reports > View Report > Browsing Report in the GajOS web interface.

By default the report shows data for the current day. To look at a different period, select the date and time range you want before generating the report. This lets you review a specific day, compare activity over time, or investigate a particular window when usage was unusually high.

Tips for getting the most from the report

For ongoing monitoring, run the report over a consistent period — such as the same day each week — so the figures are comparable. When investigating a bandwidth spike, narrow the date and time range to the window in question to isolate the users responsible. Reviewing top categories alongside top users helps distinguish heavy but legitimate business use from activity that may need a policy review.
