Sniffer Adaptive Application Analyzer: Adaptive Mode ... - NetScout

EARLY FIELD TRIAL
Working with the Quick Select Window
Capture Statistics (b) illustrate the memory savings achieved by
capturing in Adaptive mode. The graph compares the overall length
of captured packets as seen on the wire versus their stored length
as Adaptive Session Packets. The Compression value restates the
statistics as a percentage, showing you by what percentage the
wire length was reduced during adaptive packet generation.
Buffer Status (c) shows the percentage of capture buffer space
currently in use.
Viewing Reports on the Spreadsheet Tab
The Pie Chart and Column Chart tabs display reports based on the data
shown in the Statistics panel’s Spreadsheet tab. When viewing Pie
Chart and Column Chart reports in the Statistics panel, sort a column in
the Statistics tab and the report will update accordingly.
NOTE: By default, all reports initially display data by total Bytes.
Sorting the Statistics panel tabs by different columns causes the Pie
Chart and Column Chart reports to update dynamically. You can sort by
both index and statistics columns and the reports will still update
accordingly. For example, you can sort the VLAN tab by VLAN ID to see
the highest or lowest VLAN IDs. Then, you can sort the same tab again
by Bytes to see the VLAN IDs with the most bytes.
See Running Reports on page 261 for details on viewing and printing
reports appearing on the Reports tab. Be sure to use the Print Report
button to print reports. The File > Print menu option is not supported
in the Quick Select window.
Using Custom Colors in the Quick Select
Window
The Quick Select window uses a set of 15 colors in the Graph and
Statistics panels to identify different entities:
Graph panel tabs all use color to identify different entities. For
example, the Pie Chart tab assigns different colors to each slice of
its pie. Similarly, the Column Chart tab assigns different colors to
each bar in its chart.
