About Report Data

The Network - Link State report answers the following question:

‹What percentage of packets did not reach the peer HP EFS WAN Accelerator?

In bar-graph and line-graph reports, the x-axis (or tick mark) plots time, according to the interval you select. The y-axis plots the metric of interest, such as gigabytes (GB) of bandwidth, percent (%) of data reduction, connection counts, and the like.

A diamond icon above the top margin of the graph points to the value on the x-axis (the time) at which the peak occurred.

A diamond icon outside the right margin of the graph points to the value on the y-axis (for example, the percent) that is the average value for the time period selected.

Pie chart graphs do not indicate peaks or averages. Pie chart graphs represent the aggregate for the time period selected.

The HP EFS WAN Accelerator system polls bandwidth and connection metrics every second and can report on performance for periods as long as one year. However, due to performance and disk space considerations, data representation in reports for periods longer than the Last 5 Minutes are interpolated from aggregate data points.
