Monitor Report Layout (Continued)
The bottom portion of many monitor reports provides additional display controls and options. Since screen
space is limited, the user can control how many rows of data are displayed at once, and can easily jump to
other pages.
As far as the display options, many will be discussed further later in the chapter but they are introduced here.
To use any of these options, first select the desired row from the table displayed by clicking the radio button
to the entries left. The additional display options are:
Details: Provides more information about the selected entry. This is a drill-down option and is the
same as clicking the main object in the table entry (i.e. host from the hosts monitor report). The
statistics displayed depend on the type of monitor report (i.e. details of host shows all applications and
conversations by application for selected host).
Capture: Launches a data capture based on the selected table entry. (i.e. if a host is selected from the
table with VLAN 100 selected, then a data capture is configured and started to look at the VLAN 100
data source and capture all packets to or from the selected host.)
Real-Time: Launches a graph that allows you to track the selected entry over time. (i.e. if a host is
selected from the table, a graph will periodically update showing the current value of a host statistic
selected by the user.)
Reports: Creates a historical report for the selected table entry and starts logging data about that
selection to a database. The user can at a later time use the Reports tab to view activity for the
selected item for up to 100 days from when the report was created. (Note: report will only have data as
long as the selected item remains part of a configured data source.)
Next let’s look at how to run monitor reports. Due to the large number of reports, not all reports will be
discussed. Remember, many reports were already discussed in conjunction with the enabling of monitoring
on the various data sources.
