Load Overview

The Load Overview chart (ANALYZE > Overview > IP Traffic > Load Overview) presents an overview of communication to servers, ports and applications as well as from subnets and Citrix servers. It also lets you quickly identify the most used processes.

Load Overview pie chart that shows the processes with the most IP traffic, such as iexplore.exe and Skype.exe, and a slice named The Rest.

Type: Determines the type of information shown on the pie chart:
- Servers: Lists servers accessed by computers.
- Processes: Lists processes used by computers. IP data process information is not collected on computers that run Windows XP.
- Ports: Lists ports accessed by computers.
- Services: Lists server:port combinations accessed by computers.
- Subnets (outgoing traffic): List client subnets that have accessed servers.
- Citrix Servers (outgoing traffic): List Citrix servers that have accessed servers.
Show top # only: By default only the top 20 entities are shown, but you can change this if required. Note that the last 5 % is always grouped together as a single pie slice named The Rest.
Agents: Filter on computers. Select a specific group of computers or All agents.
Servers: Filter on servers. Select All Servers, All Monitored Servers or a specific server or server group.
Data type: Determines the type of data by which the pie chart is ordered: Load (Sent+Received bytes), Total response time, Number of requests, Unavailability, Load (Sent bytes) or Load (Received bytes). The option Unavailability means the number of requests that didn’t receive a response.
Interval: Select which time interval the pie chart should be based on. If the predefined intervals don’t suit you, select Custom to Custom Time Periods on Graphs.

Advanced mode: Select this check box to show the Exclude top field.
