Monitor Views
This section discusses the different views in Performance Monitor.
Resource Browser
The Resource Browser shows all ports that can be monitored from Performance Monitor. The
Words/Bytes
status LED and the
Frames/Packets
status LED are shown for each port. The
Words/Bytes status LED is on the left and the Frames/Packets status LED is next to the port
name. Select the ports you wish to display in the Performance Monitor views. See Table 9 on
page 187 for a description of the LED colors and their meaning.
When you select a port or a chassis in the Resource Browser, the monitor views will automatically
display monitoring information for the selected ports. For example, in Figure 72 if you select
chassis TW-XGIG3, then all monitor windows will show information for the 4 ports under the
TW-XGIG3 chassis.
Figure 72: Resource Browser Examples
When you choose ports from the
Select Ports to Monitor
dialog box and press
OK
, the Resource
Browser lists the chassis and ports you have selected and Performance Monitor begins the
monitoring process. If you have selected more than 32 ports, Performance Monitor begins
monitoring only the first 32 ports; however, all selected ports will display in the Resource
Browser.
When launching Performance Monitor from the TraceControl application, the Resource Browser
lists the chassis and ports in the current domain. If there are more than 32 ports, Performance
Monitor begins monitoring only the first 32 ports; however, all ports in the domain will display in
the Resource Browser.
From the Resource Browser you can select a subset of ports to monitor. Use the Shift and Ctrl keys
to select a group of ports, or select ports individually by clicking on the port. You can select ports
from multiple chassis and all selected ports will be displayed in the Resource Browser.
You can also select all ports for a chassis by clicking on the chassis name. You can only select one
chassis at a time, and cannot use either the
Shift or Ctrl key to add ports or chassis to your
selection.
