Zeroing counters

There are three ways to zero the counters in TrafMeter: manual, automatic and using the utility TrafReset.

Manual zeroing counters

This can be done at any time when the Administrative Console is connected to the TrafMeter Service. Just select the menu item "Reset counters" or click on the corresponding button on the toolbar. You will see a dialog box to select filters for zeroing counters.

Automatic zeroing counters

Automatic zeroing can be set for each filter on a daily or monthly basis. This type of zeroing is always performed at midnight. To setup automatic zeroing, open the "Misc" tab in the Filter Editor:

Zeroing counters using the utility TrafReset

The TrafMeter installation package contains the utility TrafReset that allows the resetting of counters to zero, using a special communication protocol with the TrafMeter Service. The main advantage of using TrafReset - you can schedule it to run at any time (and with any periodicity) using the "native" Task Scheduler of Microsoft Windows. See details about using TrafReset...

 Note

• "Zeroing counters" means resetting to zero only the current values of traffic counters, which you can see in the TrafMeter Administrative Console. This doesn't change any other traffic reports in XML files or in any database.
