Setting Up NetScout Manager Plus for FrameSaver Devices

Monitoring the Agent Using NetScout Manager Plus

Once the FrameSaver FLEX agent has been added to NetScout Manager Plus, select either the Traffic or Protocol radio button to monitor the newly added agent, or one of its DLCIs.

NOTE:

Only the Traffic and Protocol radio buttons on the application selection bar are supported for FrameSaver FLEX agents.

The procedure that follows describes how to monitor an agent's traffic. The procedure is the same for protocol monitoring, but you may be prompted to select a Domain Group as well as an agent or DLCI.
