Pie Chart

The Pie chart format represents the top ten entries for a selected metric as pieces of a pie. Each piece is a percentage of a whole. All pieces add up to 100 percent of the selected metric total for the top 10 table entries. Each pie piece represents a row in the data table.

Note: Certain metrics, such as TCP Byte Loss Percentage, are inappropriate for display in the Pie chart format.

The top 10 entries do not always account for 100 percent of all activity observed during the selected time period. You can enable an eleventh pie piece to represent an aggregate of the rest of all the table rows (Other). Flyover text for each pie piece identifies the hosts. Click a pie piece to highlight the associated hosts in the data table. You can then filter by that data. Drill-in to the “Other” piece is not supported.

This type of chart format is most useful for comparing the relative contributions of hosts to a selected metric. For example, filter on a particular server and select the Server/Client Pair view. Then select the TCP Bytes metric and see which clients contribute most to the data volume of a server.
