Tracking who is using live data

Tracking who is using live data

CIUMon has two options for tracking usage. Communication statistics and usage statistics track slightly different information. They each provide a summary report and a detailed report, which display different information. These reports can be accessed through the Options menu. Statistics from both types of usage tracking can be saved to a file.

  • Usage statistics will tell you who is using live data, and for how long.
  • Communication statistics will tell you how much data each person is asking for.

The features of the different tracking options and reports are summarized in the following table.
