-:The graph column shows the history graph of the traffic for each IP address. It shows the timestamp on the x-axis and the bytes on the y-axis. The resolution can be changed by using the control buttons on the top of the web page. The graph icon allows for selecting different graph types such as load (bps or packets/s), TCP statistics or connections.

+:See [[Common table columns#PCAP|Common table columns - PCAP]]
-:To stop capture, click on the same button again (which turned to a STOP symbol), or go to the capture traffic page in the generic section and stop the corresponding download.
