# Tracking Network Statistics

Statistics tracking can be enabled for *Accept, Drop, Reject* and *Translate* rules. This allows viewing the total number of packets/bytes processed by a rule. Currently, statistics cannot be tracked for *Route* rules.

## Enable Statistics Tracking for All Non-routing Rules of a Network

**Requires a restart of the network.**
{% endhint %}

1. From the network dashboard, click **Edit** on the left menu.
2. Check the **Track Statistics For All Rules** checkbox.
3. Click **Submit**.
4. Click **Restart** on the left menu to reset and apply the change. A typical restart will cause a momentary disruption.
