Mining data from your GigaStor
Chapter 7: Mining GigaStor Data 227
Analyzing data by combining GigaStor Control Panel and
Observer filters
Tip! If you chose “Create analysis filter using checked GigaStor entries”
and do not have any data or do not have the data you expected, it may
be because you applied too many filters. Try the “Analyze all traffic in the
analysis interval” option instead.
1. Complete the procedure in Analyzing data with filters from the GigaStor
Control Panel (page 226) .
2. After you have a filtered chart, click the Analyze button. The GigaStor
Analysis Options window opens.
3. Because you are analyzing data with checked GigaStor entries, you have two
choices:
●
Analyze all traffic in the analysis interval—Uses the filtered data as-is and
analyzes it.
●
Create analysis filter using checked GigaStor entries—Creates a second
filter and applies it to the already filtered data.
4. Click OK .
Your filtered data appears in a new “Decode and Analysis” tab.
Analyzing multiple GigaStor probe instances from one
GigaStor Control Panel
Combining the data of multiple GigaStor probe instances into one GigaStor
Control Panel allows for quick and easy isolation of information.
One example where you might use this is if you need to find information but are
unsure which GigaStor probe instance to query. Instead, you can combine the
data of any GigaStor probe instances you have access to and perform just one
query.
Note: The GigaStor Control Panel must be open for every GigaStor probe
instance you want to combine for analysis.
To analyze multiple GigaStor probe instances from one GigaStor Control Panel:
2. Click Tools.
3. Click Select GigaStors for Combined Indexing.
4.
Choose two or more probe instances and click
Apply
.
If a particular GigaStor probe instance is not listed, ensure the GigaStor
Control Panel for that instance is open and try again.
5. Click Update Reports to start combining index data.
6. After the process completes, the currently open GigaStor Control Panel is
showing a real-time aggregate of multiple GigaStor probe instances.
After completing this task:
Simply use the combined GigaStor Control Panel the same way as a non-
combined GigaStor Control Panel. See Using the GigaStor Control Panel (page 187)
for details.
