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

EARLY FIELD TRIAL
Using the Statistics Panel
2 Click the Statistics Filter dropdown to list the filters available for
application as Statistics Filters.
3 Select the Statistics Filter to apply from the list.
The data in the Statistics panel tabs for the current Graph panel
selection is filtered according to the selected filter.
To remove a Statistics Filter, click the Statistics Filter dropdown
again and set it to [None]. All data statistics in the Graph panel
selection will be displayed.
Working with the Top N Feature
The Top N feature provides a way to optimize Console performance by
limiting the number of records displayed in the Statistics panel. Instead
of downloading all data for the period selected in the Graph panel, you
can set a Top N value to limit the number of unique conversation
records transferred to the Top N.
IMPORTANT: The Top N conversation records are sorted by bytes.
The lower you set this option, the more responsive the Console will be
when viewing statistics from a very busy network. However, this
responsiveness comes at the expense of data accuracy and
completeness. Conversely, you can disable the Top N feature entirely
by setting it to All. In this case, all conversation records will be
displayed, but at the expense of Console performance.
IMPORTANT: The value you specify for N will almost always NOT be the
exact number of conversation records returned. See Top N – The Details on
page 96 for the details on how this works.
Setting the Top N Value
Set a default value for the Top N feature in the Quick Select > Options
> General tab. This value will be in force for all streams by default.
However, while connected to a stream, you can always change the
current setting temporarily by clicking the Change button next to the
Top N entry below the Statistics panel and entering a new value (Figure
4-18 on page 93).
