Application reporting in the portable version

Application reporting in the portable version   01 August 2015, 23:43

Hi Andrew,

I can see the Application tab in the Installed instance but not in the Portable, you probably answered this before but I checked Help and found nothing. Would I have to use the portable to Monitor my router and change the Installed to Monitor 'All connections'?

I wanted to ask before I invest all the work of switching databases and still not being able to get what I want.

Thanks,
J

The Applications tab along with the Ignore LAN traffic option is not available in the portable version because it requires a driver to be installed. As any portable software shouldn't and often can't install drivers, so I am afraid there's no way to have it in the portable version.

OK, thanks Andrew,

I set up a Portable to monitor my router and then set up the Installed to monitor All connections, Ignoring LAN and that works.
I copied the original db from the Installed to the Portable folder and then Cleared the Installed and get the correct totals.

I've actually set up two Portable instances plus the Installed.
Installed 1 monitors All connections ignoring Local, and should be very close to Portable 1 traffic
Portable 1 monitors the router for all external WAN traffic
Portable 2 monitors the D-Link wireless adapter to record Local traffic related to my video security cameras

In order to make it easier to check the Monitored interface for the three windows, I ticked the [ ] box for Display window title bar in all three.
It works for both Portables but not the Installed. ?????
That's still OK since I have the windows side by side and the Monitored interface also shows at the left of the graph in the section to Display usage summary on the graph.

But I then thought that it would be nice to show the Monitored interface at the top of each Tab in Settings because I could have all 3 Settings open at the same time when I'm making sure that I've made appropriate changes for all 3, such as in the spring and fall when I have to modify the Time zone offset (mins) to sync with my ISPs usage of UDT. Not a big deal, but would be a 'nice to have' if you have some spare time laugh.
