Using CyberMONITORCyberMONITOR User’s Guide3-11AutosizingThe statistical data chart uses “autosizing”. If a sudden peak exceeds the current scale, the chartwill adjust the scale factor to include the peak. All events are always visible on this chart - nothingwill ever be off-scale.The scale at the left of the chart reflects the units of measurement (Kilobitsper second, in this case). The scale at the bottom of the chart reflects the Start and Stop times of themonitoring session, in convenient increments.If a monitoring session has not been completed (hasn’t reached Stop Time), the trace shown on thechart will be incomplete. The right end of the trace will reflect the current time, and will becontinuously changing. If the monitoring session is set up for continuous monitoring (no StopTime specified), the left end of the chart will reflect the Start Time of the monitoring session, andthe right end of the chart will reflect the elapsing time for as long as the window is open.Note: Charting for a number of days will accumulate an amount of data that may causeperformance degradation on some platforms with less memory, and slower processingpower.Movable CursorThe red vertical line shown on the chart is a movable cursor, controlled by your computer’s mouse.As you move the mouse pointer into the chart window, your mouse will be able to control thecursor movement. The number shown directly below the date and system time is the peak value ofthe trace at the point where the cursor intersects the trace. As you move the cursor across the chart,this value will change, i.e., will display the value of the data under the cursor.ZoomingIf you place the cursor in front of an area of interest on the chart, depress the left mouse button andhold it while you move the cursor, you will highlight an area that can be “zoomed”. When yourelease the mouse button, you will zoom the area that was highlighted. The scale of the resultantzoomed area will be changed so that the entire chart represents the zoomed portion of the data. It ispossible to successively zoom portions of the data by repeating the mouse procedure in the“zoomed” window. Another zoomed window will appear for each zoom procedure, with acorrespondingly smaller time scale. The minimum amount of zoomed time that can be representedis one second. You can return to the unzoomed chart by clicking the Reset Zoom button.Data StatisticsYou can chart various statistical data by using the Charts menu item on a statistical data table. Thepossible options (depending upon the network interface being monitored) are; Chart-by-Bandwidth, Chart-by-Protocols (IP and IPX), Chart-by-Interface Number, and Chart-by-Module.
