Traffic, lots of confusion

So I'm invested in Omada heavily, dozens of devices. It delivers quite well for the money. Only thing that frustrates me is traffic counters. I have hardware offload off, DPI on and trying to figure out who exactly uses internet.
When I'm trying to do some investigation I see traffic figures here and there close to clients and devices and can't figure out what timeline it's covers? Somewhere predefined interval? 24 hours? Time from connection established? Can I change that?
than I see ridiculous figures. I have small watering controller that's connected to 2.4 network, 543GB in a few days? That's not possible. 77TB for NAS that barely used? 41GB for Arlo cameras? My connection is Starlink - it's not possible to upload that amount by any means on 20Mbit uplink.
On app analytics I want to click on category and see who was using certain service for the last 24h. On just filter clients who uploaded data to the internet.
Any ideas how can I do those basic things? Maybe analyse external logs somehow?

@Clive_A thanks for the reply. After much time spent on this issue i figured out that software controller can do granular users statistics for data analysis. And I can see the option with open port info close to Logging Traffic selector in DPI settings. Can I use any external data analysis tools that I can use on server for example. Or can I use data analytics in software controller leaving hardware to control network?

Hi @shuravko
Thanks for posting in our business forum.
It counts the traffic regardless of the direction. As long as it generates the traffic for a local connection, the system will record its data and traffic count.

Regarding the other question, I am not sure how feasible it is. Never seen such a case before with external data analysis tools.

@shuravko in the past the traffic counters in Omada have been wildly inaccurate - as you observed. Devices that generate minimal data - if you capture and count it yourself - will display impossibly high traffic in Omada. It used to say thing like a TV uploaded dozens of terrabytes more data than even the ISP counted. However, more recently I have been seeing far more sensible numbers, I think recent firmware might have fixed some of the problems.
Live data analysis is still a challenge, you can't access any realtime counts from Omada, but you can mirror the gateway traffic to another port, then use a PC or other analysis tools can analyze the traffic on that port.

Hi, I also have this problem with ER7212PC, I set portal for users login. Each user i set 5GB. Only few minutes, it's gone. How it possible. I hope they can change it to Internet traffic limit during next release.
