The Session Monitor gives a current view of session that exist that are going through the Untangle Server.
Sessions provides a view of the current [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Session_(computer_science)|network sessions] (also known as connections)


Each row shows a session going through Untangle and its current properties.
Each row represents a single a network session/and its properties.


This is useful for debugging information, such as testing that Policy Manager rules are mapping traffic to the correct rack, or testing port forwards or NAT policies.
As Untangle and all the apps learn more about a session, many will "attach" data to the session so it is globally visible and accessible via other apps. The Sessions view provides a view into everything that is known about a session.
 
The Sessions view provides a real-time view into whats going on in the network, and can also provide a great debugging tool to verify that sessions are being processed by the correct policies and handled correctly.
