This tab shows statistics about the number of connections analyzed by the system.

The '''New connections''' counter shows the total number of new connections or the number of new connections during a selected time interval. The graph next to it shows the history of the number of new connections per second.
The '''New connections''' counter shows the total number of new connections or the number of new connections during a selected time interval. The graph next to it shows the history of the number of new connections per second. Connections excluded due to a filter are not considered here.  


The '''Active connections''' counter shows the current number of active connections analyzed by the system. It changes to '''Active connections average''' if a time interval is selected and then shows the average number of connections that were active during that interval. The graph next to it shows the history of how many connections were active at a certain point in time.

The '''Filtered Connections''' counter shows the total number of connections excluded due to ta filter during a selected time interval. The graph next to it shows the filtered connections per second. These counters are only shown once a filter has been configured.
== Filter Configuration ==
This tab contains the settings for a connection filter. You can configure a list of IP addresses and subnets as either a deny list or an allow list to limit the number of connections analyzed and stored by the Multimeter. This helps save memory, which can increase the maximum time that other statistics remain accessible.
When using a deny list, no connections that include at least one of the specified IP addresses or subnets will be accounted for. Conversely, when using an allow list, only connections that include at least one of the specified IP addresses or subnets will be counted.
