Generating a real-time performance graph

You can monitor a device’s performance through a performance graph that displays transmit and

receive data. The graphs can be sorted by the column headers. You can create multiple real-time

performance graph instances.

NOTE

To make sure that statistic collection for a switch does not fail, you must configure SNMP credentials

for the switch. For step-by-step instructions, refer to “Configuring SNMP credentials” on page 42.

To generate a real-time performance graph for a device, complete the following steps.

1. Select the fabric, device, or port for which you want to generate a performance graph.

2. Choose one of the following options:

• Select Monitor > Performance > Real-Time Graph.

• Right-click the device or fabric and select Performance > Real-Time Graph.

If you selected a port, the Real Time Performance Graphs dialog box for the selected port

displays. To filter real-time performance data from the Real Time Performance Graphs dialog

box, refer to “Filtering real-time performance data” on page 217.

If you selected a fabric or device, the Realtime Port Selector dialog box displays. Continue with

step 3.
