Utilization/Error View
Utilization/Error View is a simple strip chart that plots points for network utilization
over time.
The scale for network utilization changes on-the-fly when a new peak percentage is
reached. The time scale also scales automatically as the resource is monitored over
time. The graph has an optional watermark showing the highest utilization point.
The errors plotted on the graph are the total number of CRC and Alignment errors.
From Summary View, set the view preferences to

strip chart. From Detail View, the
