How to Turn Monitoring on/off on Firewalla

2. Resolution

Firewalla Monitoring capability can be turned on/off on all devices, individual devices, or network segments (LAN/VLANs) (Firewalla Gold/Purple only).

Turn on/off monitoring on all devices:

1. Tap on the Monitoring tile.

2. Tap on the Monitoring slider.

Turn on/off on individual device:

There may be times that you don't want Firewalla to monitor certain devices.  For example:

1. The Device may have problems when being monitored.
2. The Device may be too sensitive to be monitored.
3. You don't that "special activity" reported
4. In simple mode: when running p2p software
5. The device bandwidth usage is greater than what Firewalla can handle. 

When monitoring is disabled in Simple mode, firewalla will not 'see' any traffic from the disabled device.   And in DHCP mode, the device will get an IP range from your primary network, which means Firewalla won't see the traffic either.

Follow the steps below:

1. Open device list
2. Tap on the one that you want to turn on/off monitoring
3. Scroll down to the bottom of the screen and tap on the monitoring button

 .    

Turn on/off on Network  Segments:

1. Go to Devices. 
2. Select a LAN or VLAN
