Performance integration with Flow Vision
You can use the performance graphs (historical or real-time) to monitor flows.
For platforms running Fabric OS 7.2 or later, Flow Vision replaces Top Talker and End-to-End
monitoring.
Monitoring flows using a performance graph
1. Select Monitor > Fabric Vision > Flow > Monitor.
The Flow Vision dialog box displays.
2. Select a row in the Flows list.
3. Select Performance Graph > Historical Graph or Real-Time Graph.
You can also access performance graphs directly from the main menu (Monitor > Fabric Vision
> Flow > Historical Graph or Real-Time Graph) or a shortcut menu (right-click a device or port
and select Fabric Vision > Flow > Historical Graph or Real-Time Graph).
If you select Real-Time Graph using a port that does not have any flows, the following message
displays: “There are no active flows with the monitor feature. Do you want to creates a flow for
the selected port?”. Click OK to create a flow for the selected port. For instructions, refer to
“Creating a Flow Monitor flow definition” on page 1140", “Creating a Flow Generator flow
definition” on page 1181", or “Creating a Flow Mirror flow definition” on page 1191".
The Historical or Real Time Graphs/Tables dialog box displays.
