Host Summary

To display the Host Summary for a specified period of time, highlight Host Summary in the first list box, select the desired time period in the second list box and click on the Enter button.

The Host Summary presents the Host, the Last Session, the number of Downloads and Sessions (with the percentage of total Downloads and Sessions) for the top ten hosts (ranked by sessions) accessing the FTP server for the selected time period. To rank the hosts by the number of downloads, click on the Rank by Downloads button.

To view the next ten hosts, click on the highlighted "Next 10" located at the end of the summary. To view the last ten hosts, click on the highlighted "Last 10" located at the end of the summary. To view the previous ten hosts, click on the highlighted "Previous 10" located at the end of the summary. To view the first ten hosts, click on the highlighted "First 10" located at the end of the summary. To view all of the hosts, click on the highlighted number of total hosts ("Hosts represented: 10 out of xxx", where xxx = Total Hosts).

To generate a summary of all the sessions from a specific domain, enter the domain name into the text box in the filter tool at the bottom of the summary, select from the list boxes to create the request: "Show all hosts [that] [end with] [domain name]" and click on the Enter button. To generate a summary that excludes sessions from a specific domain, enter the domain name into the text box in the filter tool at the bottom of the summary, select from the list boxes to create the request: "Show all hosts [that do not] [end with] [domain name]" and click on the Enter button. Note that in the above examples users can also use the filter tool to include or exclude hosts that either [match], [start with] or [contain] the specified text entered in the text box.

If you have already used the filter tool to apply a filter, you can use the filter tool again to add additional filters to the previous filter. For example, you could use the filter tool to display all hosts that contain alpha.com and then use the filter tool again to display all hosts that contain beta.com. A combined report would then be displayed that includes all hosts that contain alpha.com and all hosts that contain beta.com. To start over, simply go back to the original Host Summary without any filters applied. You can do this by selecting the Host Summary and time period in the top frame and clicking the Enter button or by clicking the Back button in your browser.

To get more information about each specific host, click on the highlighted host. NetTracker will then look up domain name information through the appropriate domain registration database.

This Download Breakdown contains information about the Date and time of the view, the File, and the User for the specified host. To get detailed information about each session from a specific host, click on the corresponding highlighted number of sessions. This Session Breakdown contains information about when the Session Began, the Length of Session, the User, and the number of Downloads for each session by the specified host.
