Chapter 1 Overview

Navigating the User Interface

Mouse-Over for Details

When in Chart view, you can mouseover the chart to get more detailed information about what occurred at a specific time.

Many of the line charts in NAM are “dual-axis,” meaning there is one metric shown on the left axis of the chart and another metric shown on the right axis of the chart.

For example, in the figure above, Total Bytes per second is shown on the left axis, and Total Packets per second is shown on the right axis.

Zoom/Pan Charts

For many charts, you can drag the beginning or end to change the time interval, as shown below.

The time interval change on the zoom/pan chart will affect the data presented in the charts in the bottom of the window. The zoom/pan time interval also affects the drill-down navigations; if the zoom/pan interval is modified, the context menu drill-downs from that dashboard will use the zoom/pan time interval.

Note In a bar chart which you can zoom/pan, each block represents data collected during the previous interval (the time stamp displayed at the bottom of each block is the end of the time range). Therefore, you may have to drag the zoom/pan one block further than expected to get the desired data to populate in the charts in the bottom of the window.
