EARLY FIELD TRIAL Chapter 3 Availability Meter 56 Sniffer Adaptive Application Analyzer The Availability Meter (a) is a colored line that runs parallel along the bottom of the Graph panel. It indicates the type of data that is available in the stream at each point in time. This line appears green, red, or yellow at any given second within a stream. a Figure 3-7. Availability Meter Green = Capture Enabled, Packets/Adaptive Data Available. A green meter indicates the stream was actively capturing traffic with both traffic statistics and packet data available. You can view statistics in the Statistics panel, as well as mine this portion of the stream. NOTE: The type of packet data available for mining depends on the capture mode. In Adaptive mode, Adaptive Session Packets and Session Records are available for mining. In Raw mode, actual packet data is available. Yellow = Statistics Only. A yellow meter indicates capture was not started. The statistics from the yellow period are available in the Statistics panel but no packet data is available for mining. Red = No Data or Statistics. A red meter indicates that no statistics or packets are available. This happens when a stream was not opened for statistical monitoring or capture. NOTE: You can use the Stream Visibility options in the Quick Select > Options > General tab to specify whether streams with both Green and Yellow coded portions should open with the stream start time set to the Yellow (Statistics only) or Green (Earliest packet data) portion. See Setting General Tab Options on page 243 for details.

Green = Capture Enabled, Packets/<strong>Adaptive</strong> Data Available.<br />

A green meter indicates the stream was actively capturing traffic<br />

with both traffic statistics and packet data available. You can view<br />

statistics in the Statistics panel, as well as mine this portion of the<br />

stream.<br />

NOTE: The type of packet data available for mining depends<br />

on the capture mode. In <strong>Adaptive</strong> mode, <strong>Adaptive</strong> Session<br />

Packets and Session Records are available for mining. In Raw<br />

mode, actual packet data is available.<br />

Yellow = Statistics Only. A yellow meter indicates capture was<br />

not started. The statistics from the yellow period are available in<br />

the Statistics panel but no packet data is available for mining.<br />

Red = No Data or Statistics. A red meter indicates that no<br />

statistics or packets are available. This happens when a stream was<br />

not opened for statistical monitoring or capture.<br />

NOTE: You can use the Stream Visibility options in the Quick<br />

Select > Options > General tab to specify whether streams with<br />

both Green and Yellow coded portions should open with the stream<br />

start time set to the Yellow (Statistics only) or Green (Earliest<br />
