• “Top N” Conversations by Generating (Tx) traffic over time T
• “Top N” Conversations by Receiving (Rx) traffic over time T
• “Top N” Conversations by Aggregate (Tx/Rx) traffic over time T
For port statistics reports:
• “Top N” of ports Generating (Tx) traffic over time T
• “Top N” of ports Receiving (Rx) traffic over time T
• “Top N” of ports Aggregate (Tx/Rx) traffic over time T
• Customized report
5. Type the number of results you want for the report in the Top N field.
For reports, the range is 1 through 100. The range for graphs is 1 through 20.
6. For custom reports (ports monitoring), select the criteria for identifying the Top N ports from
the counter options list. This option is not available for End-to-End Monitoring.
7. For custom reports (ports monitoring), define the threshold values to use, either the capacity
threshold or the error threshold.
The option available depends on the Top N criteria selected. This option is not available for
End-to-End Monitoring. The report will be generated based on selecting one counter, but you
can select additional counters for display. A maximum of two capacity and five errors can be
counted.
8. Select the granularity (the time interval between samples) from the Granularity list.
The available options are 5 minutes, 30 minutes, 2 hours, and 1 day. See “Granularity” on
page 111 for information on how granularity is calculated.
9. Click Last, type a number, and then select the time increment (Minutes, Hours, or Days).
10. For Port Statistics reports only (skip to step 12 for End-to-End monitoring reports). Select the
ports for which you want to generate the report:
• Click All.
Includes all ports in the database with the specified granularity and time range.
• Click Device Ports Only.
Incudes only device ports (F_Ports and L_Ports) in the database with the specified
granularity and time range.
• Click ISL Ports Only.
Includes only ISL ports (EX_Ports and E_Ports) in the database with the specified
granularity and time range.
NOTE
If the port type of a switch in a fabric changes, and Performance Monitor is enabled, multiple
port WWNs with different port types are displayed in the Performance Monitor table and graph
reports.
11. For custom reports, check all of the available counters that you want included in the report. If a
counter is selected, a check mark appears to the left of the counter name.
12. Click Create Report Template or Create Graphical Template.
The Save Template dialog box appears (see Figure 84).
