Chapter 2 Setting Up The NAM Traffic Analyzer

Monitoring

The aggregation intervals determine how much data can be stored in the NAM database. See Table 2-35, Data Retention for information about data retention.

Response Time

To configure the timing parameters (or buckets) for response time data collections:

Step 1 Choose Setup > Monitoring > Response Time.

The Response Time Configuration page displays. The settings you make on this window comprise the time distribution in milliseconds for the detailed Server Application Response Time data collection.

Step 2 Check the “Enable Response Time Monitor” check box.

Step 3 After “Monitored Server Filter”, you will see “Disabled” or “Enabled.” If a WAAS server has been configured under Setup > Monitoring > WAAS Servers, you will see “Enabled.” Click the Configure Filter button to configure a filter.

Step 4 Enter the Response Time settings as described in Table 2-36, Response Time Configuration Window.
