or

as a function of time, including data for up to 16 links.

Bytes Received Chart

To see the exact time and data coordinates for a data point, left-click the data

 

 

 

point. The coordinates are displayed in the format (hh:mm:ss, dd.dd), where:

 

 

 

hh:mm:ss is the time for that data point in hours, minutes, and seconds.

 

 

 

dd.dd is the number of bits or bytes (as set in the Preferences window)

 

 

 

received per second for that data point.

 

 

 

To remove the data for a link from the chart, click the icon in the SLC field.

 

 

 

To return the data to the chart, click the icon again.

 

 

 

The total time displayed in the chart is specified in the Time Window (mins)

 

 

 

field.

 

 

 

New data points are added to the right side of the chart. When the chart

 

 

 

reaches the end of the time window (for example, after 5 minutes, if the Time

 

 

 

Window (mins) field is set to 5), new data points continue to be added to the

 

 

 

right side of the chart, while old data points “drop off” the left side of the

 

 

 

chart.

 

 

 

If a poll is missed (for example, as a result of an SNMP timeout), SGM

 

 

 

ignores the missing data point, stops drawing the line, and waits for the next

 

 

 

valid data point to begin drawing the line again.

 

 

 

To scroll left, right, up, or down in the chart, drag the cursor while holding

 

 

 

down Ctrl and the left mouse button.

 

 

 

To zoom in on a section of the chart, drag the cursor while holding down Shift

 

 

 

and the left mouse button.

 

 

 

To reset the chart to the default view and scaling, click Reset.

 

 

SLC

Displays up to 16 color-coded icons, one for each link (SLC) in the Bits

 

 

 

Received Chart or Bytes Received Chart.

 

 

 

To remove the data for a link from the chart, click the icon in this field. To

 

 

 

return the data to the chart, click the icon again.

 

 

 

SGM enables you to customize the symbols, line styles, and colors assigned

 

 

 

to data points in real-time data charts. For more information, see the Charts

 

 

 

Settings, page 23-13.

 

 

Reset

If you scrolled or zoomed the chart, resets the chart to the default view and

 

 

 

scaling.
