Status Monitoring and Statistics
This chapter describes how to view the current operating status of the BlackDiamond,
how to display information in the log, and how to take advantage of available Remote
Monitoring (RMON) capabilities.
Viewing statistics on a regular basis allows you to see how well your network is
performing. If you keep simple daily records, you will see trends emerging and notice
problems arising before they cause major network faults. This way, statistics can help
you get the best out of your network.
