•
Change the scale to Packets/Sec, Mbits/Sec or
Kbits/sec.
•
Further breakout data by Incoming/Outgoing data, per
adapter, or by protocol.
•
Select between Bar Graph or Line Graph.
•
Select the device to graph data for.
Scale
To change the scale of any chart or graph, simply selected the appropriate option
under Scale on the Graph Settings Tab. You can switch the scale from Packets per
second, Megabits per second or Kbits per second.
Graph Detail
Graph Detail allows you to select how throughput totals are broken out for the
currently selected device. You can choose to display breakout detail in three ways:
•
By Device
Allows you to view throughput from all of the sub-components that
make up a device. For instance if the currently selected device is a
Group (Array), then breakout totals will be displayed for each
adapter that makes up that group.
•
By Protocol
This option allows you to view totals for each protocol running on
the currently selected device in addition to the total throughput of
the device.
•
By Incoming/Outgoing
This option allows you to view total incoming traffic to the device
selected, total outgoing traffic in addition to the device’s total overall
throughput.
NOTE:
This option is grayed out for Bar Chart type graphs since both Incoming and
outgoing traffic detail is provided in the other two options for Bar graphs.
You can further customize the graph by selecting or unselecting each breakout
component on the legend below the graph.
Graph Type
There are two ways to view throughput data in real time – Line Graphs or Bar
Charts.
Line Graph
The line graph is similar to Performance Monitor in Windows NT. It gives you the
ability to view data over time for total server throughput, by group, or adapter. Line
graphs not only allow you to see total throughput for each device, but you can also
view a variety of detailed statistics for each device including:
