11 • Monitoring Performance Data
Introduction
The FS6300 NMS monitors performance of your network by collecting data from devices and providing
reports. The performance is measured based on various factors, such as number of bytes of data received/sent
(over a period) by a particular interface of a device, the interface's current bandwidth in bits per second, etc.
After discovery, FS6300 NMS begins to collect data (by default, 5 minutes after a device is discovered) from
each of the devices in the network and adds it to the database. Then, data collection occurs every 600 seconds
(default interval). The data collected from a device in the network is called Performance Data.
This chapter describes how to view current and collected data. The FS6300 NMS collects data from a device
based on statistics that are defined for that device. The FS6300 NMS can generate graphs and reports based on
current performance data or collected (historical) performance data.
Note
For information on how to configure statistics, thresholds, and polling
objects for collected data, see the
