Save History Location: RAM/JFFS2/CIFS 1/CIFS 2/Custom Path - Define where historical data is to be saved. Remember data stored in RAM (default) will not survive a reboot

Save On Shutdown: Forces a cstats file save when shutting does (also reboot applies).

Included IPs: comma separated list, statically define the IPs not in scope for this service.
Enable Auto-Discovery: automatically include new IPs in monitoring as soon as any traffic is detected.

- Prefer to show only hostnames otherwise show IPs: Prefer Hostanmes, if not available show IPs
- Show only IPs: Always show only IPs
