Taking a look at the ASDM (6.4) for my ASA 5520, I get a nice summary of the traffic status, with items like "interface traffic usage", and "connections per second".

This works well, but only shows the data for the last 5-6 minutes or so.

Recently, I've been asked whether it's possible to pull up this same type of traffic data for a particular time in the past. (Such as: Find the traffic usage for a 3 minute period from date xx:xx:xx @ time xx:xx:xx)

I've noticed that my ASA 5520 is logging the warning, errors, etc that it is processing. But traffic data is not logged (yet) according to my search through the ASA.

Is logging the traffic data amounts (as wondered above) actually a possibility? Is there any way to find out the past data for traffic and such values?

Thanks!
