Monitor Locations view

The Monitor Locations view lists the hosts that are running instances of the Net Monitor Agent, and shows their states.

Selecting All Monitor Locations shows a list of all host names in the Summary - All Monitor Locations view on the right. Similarly, selecting a location in the list shows location-specific metrics in the Single Location Summary view view on the right.

The Monitor Locations view appears in the Quick View on the left.
Alarm severity. The state of the most recent alarm raised against the associated location: Warning , Critical , or Fatal .
All Monitor Locations. A parent node for the location object instances that appear in this view.
Location. The name of the host on which the Net Monitor Agent is running.

Quick View

The Quick View is a container view. It contains a combination of location or transaction views, depending on your selection in the Net Monitor Environment view and the panel on the left. Use it to understand the performance of the monitored network devices, and to investigate any issues that they may be experiencing.

This view appears in the Performance Browser, just below the Net Monitor Environment view.

This view contains a combination of some of the following views, depending on your previous selections:

Single Location Summary view

The Single Location Summary view displays overall response and availability information for the network devices monitored from the selected location. It identifies the network devices with the lowest availability, highest response time, and highest data packet loss, showing the top five transactions in each of these categories. Use this view to identify the network devices with performance disruptions, and to investigate them further.

In the Quick View, in the Monitor Locations view, select a monitoring location.
The Single Location Summary view appears on the right.

This view is made up of the following embedded views:

For more information, see Alarms view.

Identifies the top five network devices that are monitored from the selected location and have the highest data packet loss.

Average Packet Loss. The average percentage of time that the data packets sent to the monitored device from the selected location are not echoed back. By default, the monitoring agent sends five data packets to the monitored network device. The number of data packets the Net Monitor Agent sends to monitored devices is specified in the Net Monitor Agent properties.
Network Device. The IP address of the monitored network device.

Identifies the top five network devices with the highest response time that are monitored from the selected location.

Avg Response Time. The average round-trip response time between the selected monitoring location and the network device.
Network Device. The IP address of the monitored network device.

Identifies the top five network devices that are monitored from the selected location and have the lowest availability.

Availability. A sparkline and a color-coded bar, indicating the levels of availability of the network device over the selected time range.
Network Device. The IP address of the monitored network device, followed by the percentage of its average availability.

Summary - All Devices view

The Summary - All Devices view displays overall response and availability information for all monitored network devices. It identifies the network devices with the lowest availability, highest response time, and highest data packet loss, showing the top five network devices in each of these categories. Use this view to identify the devices with performance degradation, and to investigate them further.
