Generating a real-time performance graph

You can monitor the device performance through a performance graph that displays transmit and
receive data. The graphs can be sorted by the column headers. You can create multiple real-time
performance graph instances.

NOTE

To make sure that statistics for a switch do not fail, you must configure SNMP credentials for the
switch. For step-by-step instructions, refer to

“Discovery”

on page 37.

1. Select the fabric, device, or port for which you want to generate a performance graph.

Right-click and select Performance > Real-Time Graph/Table or select Monitor > Performance
> Real-Time Graph. The Real Time Graphs/Tables dialog box displays.

If you selected a port, the Real Time Performance Graphs dialog box for the selected port
displays. To filter real-time performance data from the Real Time Performance Graphs dialog
box, refer to

“Filtering real-time performance data”

on page 1610.

If you selected a fabric or a device, the Realtime Port Selector dialog box displays, as shown in
