Network Traffic List Widget

The Network Traffic List Widget presents the collected network metrics in a list. This widget provides you an overview of servers that a selected computer has communicated with. The widget thus tells you about traffic that was initiated by the selected computer.

Traffic monitoring and analysis is essential in order to more effectively troubleshoot and resolve issues when they occur. The widget allows administrators to manage network performance, find and solve network problems, and plan for network growth by viewing and analyzing the displayed traffic statistics.

You can export the list to Excel with the Export to Excel button in the widget. To share the whole dashboard, or save it as a PDF, use the menu button in the dashboard toolbar .

Set Up the Widget

Note

To set up a widget, you must be able to edit the dashboard. You can edit the dashboards that you created, and PerformanceGuard administrators can edit all dashboards except built-in ones. The widget catalog only shows the widgets that your user role gives you access to.

When you’re ready to add the widget to a dashboard, you simply select the required information in the widget setup menus.

• In Select what you want to be listed on the overview tab, select the columns that you want the widget to show, for example Hostname, IP Address, Port and Protocol.

Important

**Example:**Click thumbnail to view image in full size. Based on your parameter’s selection, the widget displays only them. So you can choose yourself which columns you want to be appeared in the Widget.

• In Order by, select the column that the list is sorted by.
• Select Show row number to show row numbers in the widget.
• Click Save dashboard.

Select what You Want to View

Your PerformanceGuard administrator has typically set up the widget to display the parameters.

When that’s the case, you can simply use the Computer menu in the top part of the dashboard to view the information for selected Time Period.

Tip

You can filter your results by selecting the desired processes using the Process Names menu. This will eliminate the entries that don’t match the criteria.

You can sort the list ascending or descending by clicking a column heading.

Caution

Note that the amount of processes you see in the list may change based on your interval selection (because more processes may have been active during the last 30 days than during the last 30 minutes).
