1. Executive SummaryBriefly state the monitoring period and the overall health of the network. Mention any major anomalies or high-bandwidth events detected during this timeframe.

2. Bandwidth & Data Consumption (Usage Tab)Navigate to the Usage Tab in GlassWire to pull specific metrics.

Total Usage: Record the total incoming and outgoing data for the selected period (e.g., Daily, Weekly, or Monthly).

Top Applications: List the top 3–5 apps consuming the most data. For example: "Chrome (4.2 GB), Windows Update (1.1 GB), Slack (500 MB)."

Traffic Types: Note the distribution between different types of traffic (e.g., HTTP, DNS, or HTTPS).

3. Visual Activity Analysis (Graph Tab)Use the Graph Tab to identify spikes and patterns.

Peak Periods: Identify the exact time and date of the highest traffic spikes.

Host Identification: Click on a spike to see which remote hosts (IP addresses or websites) were being contacted. Include these in your report if they appear suspicious or unexpected.
