Interfaces History Workspace
The Interfaces History workspace provides historical information about
a selected TCP/IP interface. This workspace displays the most recent 24 hours
of historical data by default. This workspace can be displayed by right-clicking
on the Interfaces Navigator item or by clicking on a the Link icon in a row of the Interfaces Summary Table.
Short Term History support is an optional feature that must be enabled
for this workspace to display attribute and metric values. If this workspace
does not contain data, you will see message KFWITM220E Request failed
during execution. displayed in the Tivoli Enterprise Portal message
area. Contact your system administrator to request that historical collection
be started for this attribute group.
This workspace can be displayed clicking on the Link icon
for a specific interface in the Interfaces Summary Table
The following views provide information in this workspace:
- Packets Discarded. This time line chart shows a
historical view of the number of packets discarded per minute sent by this
interface for the specified time period, where:
- Yellow represents the inbound packet discard rate
- Blue represents the outbound packet discard rate
- Packet Errors. This time line chart shows the number
of inbound and outbound packets with errors by this interface for the specified
time period, where:
- Blue represents the percentage of outbound packets in error
- Yellow represents the percentage of inbound packets in error
- Bandwidth Utilization. This bar chart shows a historical
view of both the percentage bandwidth utilization for transmit and receive
operations compared to total bandwidth utilization for this interface per
minute during the specified time period, where:
- Pink represents the transmit bandwidth utilization
- Blue represents the receive bandwidth utilization
- Yellow represents total bandwidth utilization
- Packet Rate. This time line chart shows the number
of inbound and outbound packets in transit for this interface for the specified
time period, where:
- Blue represents the transmit packet rate
- Yellow represents the receive packet rate
- Interfaces Summary History Table. This summary table
contains one row for each time period for the selected TCP/IP interface. The
Interface attributes can display performance and identifying information for
a specific interface.
Interfaces Summary History Table
The Interfaces Summary History table contains one row for each TCP/IP interface
and provides a summary of detailed information for each. The Interface attributes
can display performance and identifying information for a specific interface.
The data in this table is retrieved using SNMP.
The attributes displayed in the history workspaces represent a subset of
the attributes supported by the Interfaces workspace (for enhanced performance).
For a complete list of the attributes available in the Interfaces Summary
Table, and a brief description of each, see the Interfaces Attributes help panel. Because this is a history panel, a unique
attribute is listed in addition to the Interfaces attributes:
- Recording Time
- The time and date of the data sampling. Recording time displays the
exact collection interval boundary (such as every 00:15:00 minutes). This
value is displayed in the following format:
mm/dd/yy hh:mm:ss
Where:
- mm = Month
- dd = Day of the month
- yy = Year
- hh = Hour
- mm = Minute
- ss = seconds
