About Reusing Network Objects
228 Sniffer Adaptive Application Analyzer
When Expert reuses the memory associated with less interesting
network objects, it does so using a smart algorithm that, in effect, allows
it to forget outdated network information. The list below summarizes the
types of network objects the Expert does and does not reuse.
Expert does not reuse:
Network objects that have symptoms or diagnoses associated with
them.
A network object currently highlighted in the Expert window.
Expert does reuse:
Network objects with ten or fewer associated frames and no
associated errors.
Alarm Maximum
When the maximum number of alarms are reached in the Expert
database, Expert will either recycle the oldest and lowest priority alarms
(if the Recycle Alarms option is selected) or stop creating new alarms.
The default is 1000. The range is 0 to 99999.
Data Update Rate
Specify how often the Expert Displays are updated with new data, as
well as the delay between resorting the Expert’s database of objects and
refreshing the Expert’s summary display.
To configure the Expert Objects tab:
1 Double click the Analyze column to activate the cell’s drop down
menu. Select Yes to activate the layer or No to exclude the layer
from Expert processing.
2 Double click the Max Objects column to specify the maximum
number of objects that can be created in the Expert database for
each activated layer.
3 In the Est. Memory field, enter the estimated amount of memory
needed for the number of objects specified for each layer shown.
4 For the Recycle Expert Objects option:
Check this option if you want Expert to create new objects by
overwriting older objects when Expert runs out of memory.
