Flow: Incoming Interface Utilization
This dashboard report displays a graph of the selected interface's incoming traffic as a
percentage of available bandwidth for the chosen time period.
Tip: If you experience an unusually low interface utilization, this could be because you have
Flow Monitor collecting on a router which is not the network bottleneck. Changing the
interface speed on the Flow Sources dialog will give a more accurate reading of its utilization.
Flow: Interface Traffic
This dashboard report shows the incoming and outgoing traffic transmitted over the selected
interface for the chosen time period.
Interface traffic is graphed in bytes over time. The 95th percentile for both inbound and
outbound interface traffic is graphed for the chosen time period.
You can easily lower the time graph scale on the configuration dialog to see the lower level
traffic that is more difficult to see at the default scale setting.
You can choose to display and sort sender traffic by bytes, packets, or flows using the Display
and sort by option on the report configuration dialog. Providing alternate sorting methods
allows you to monitor and identify hosts that are the largest consumers of interface resources
other than bandwidth.
Tip: You can hover over information in the Bytes column to display popup information with
average data speed as a percentage of the total interface capacity.
