Choose Daily at specified times or By day-of-week at specified times to automatically schedule packet captures during the specified time intervals (which you can add by clicking the Add button at the bottom of the dialog; see below).

Adding, Modifying, and Deleting Time Intervals

To add or modify a time interval to a schedule option, choose that option (in other words, Daily or the day-of-week for which you want to schedule a capture) and click the appropriate button. A time interval specification dialog is displayed that allows you to set the time period for the capture to be performed. To delete a time interval from a schedule option, simply highlight the interval you wish to delete and click the Delete button.

Time intervals include the last minute of the interval. All time periods are specified in 24-hour (also known as military) time.

Statistics Lists tab

Observer tracks and makes many statistics available to you. You can control how those statistics are displayed for your GigaStor. This tab lets you customize how MAC address, IP address, IP Pair, and port information are displayed in the various constraint tab statistical listings. Follow the instructions in “Configuring the GigaStor through the Control Panel” on page 63 to open the Statistics Lists tab (Figure 44).

This feature aids network managers in assessing key performance indicators (KPIs) and helps ensure that service level agreements (SLAs) are met.

The device is equipped with extensive reporting capabilities, allowing users to generate historical reports for analysis and compliance purposes. This function is essential for businesses that must comply with regulatory standards, as it enables them to maintain records of network performance and security incidents.

Furthermore, Network Instruments 114ff supports a variety of network protocols, ensuring compatibility with existing infrastructure. Its scalable architecture means organizations can adapt the device to cater to growing network demands without the need for significant overhauls. The integration capability with other Network Monitoring Systems (NMS) positions it as a flexible solution suited for diverse environments.

In summary, Network Instruments 114ff stands out as an essential tool for IT professionals looking to optimize network performance. With features such as real-time monitoring, deep packet inspection, customizable dashboards, and robust reporting capabilities, it delivers a comprehensive solution to manage and enhance network infrastructures effectively.
