Statistics
Accessing the Statistics, Timer Statistics, Summary Statistics, and Performance Graph windows; statistics defined; using the Total and Delta radio buttons; setting the Timer Statistics time interval; configuring the performance graphs
The statistical information collected and stored by your IRM2 provides you with detailed information about how much traffic your network (or a segment thereof) is experiencing, including the sizes and types of packets that make up that traffic, and how much of that traffic comprises packets which have been badly formed or somehow mangled in transmission. These statistics can give you a good overall sense of the usage your network, or network segment, is experiencing.
To help you better understand and track the traffic your network is handling, NetSight Element Manager’s main provides you with a variety of statistical information presented in four different formats: Statistics, Timer Statistics, Summary Statistics, and Performance Graphs.
