Configuring Monitoring Parameters
Step one of the basic NAM configuration simply passes data to the NAM. Now you must tell the NAM which
statistics to collect on the traffic. The configuration of various monitoring functions for individual data sources is
done from the dialogs found under the Setup > Monitor menu. To enable data collection and view results
under the Monitor tab, you must do the following:
• Choose Core Monitoring from the menu on the left corner of the screen.
• Choose your data source from the pull-down list at the top of the Monitoring Functions box. The next few
pages cover the available data source options and how to make effective use of them
• Choose the types of statistics that you wish to collect on the data source and set the configuration
options found in the menu on the right side.
By executing each of these steps, you will configure the NAM to collect and analyze data from your data
sources and report the statistics in the tables, graphs, and charts found under the Monitor tab.
Note(s):
• On the NAM-1/2, when changing spanned data sources, the statistics enabled are not cleared.
Therefore, remember to clear out data collection configurations when changing spanning; otherwise, it
will still be selectable as a data source for the various reports, but no data will exist.
