Using the Monitor and Configure tabs
Traffic Manager has two tabs:
•
The Monitor tab lets you view Traffic Server performance and network traffic statistics. For more
information, refer to
Viewing statistics from Traffic Manager‚ on page 63
.
•
The Configure tab lets you view and modify Traffic Server’s configuration options. For more information,

By default, Traffic Manager starts by displaying the Monitor tab. To display the Configure tab, click the
Configure tab to the right of the Monitor tab.

Both the Monitor and Configure tabs provide a Help button. When you click the Help button, the Traffic
