Host Summary Views

The Host Summary views can help determine which hosts have the highest traffic volume over the interface during a time period. Access to detailed host information helps pinpoint traffic sources and quickly determine whether traffic is normal. You may be able to resolve a problem quickly because you know which hosts are responsible.

Click the name of a host in a view to display the Hosts report with interface data that is specific to the host.

Host Summary views are included on Interface pages for specific interfaces when the selected report type is Overview or Hosts, the host range is Top N Hosts, and the Presentation mode is Pie Chart or Mixed Chart.

You also can include Host Summary views in Custom Reports.

You can display Top N Hosts information on Interfaces pages in the following presentation modes:

• Pie charts of host summary data on Overview reports (traffic from the host and to the host) and Hosts report pages (traffic from the host, traffic to the host, and all traffic).
• Trend charts of rate, volume, or utilization host data on Overview or Hosts reports.
• Summary tables of rate, volume, or utilization host data on Hosts reports. The data in a summary table provides additional data for the hosts, including Maximum To/From and Average To/From values.
