Configure the Display of Interface Utilization Data

If your CA Network Flow Analysis user account has the Administrator or Power User role, you can change the configuration of the data displayed in the Interface Utilization view of the Enterprise Overview.

For example, you could display the orange status indicator next to interfaces that utilize 65 -74.9 percent of their bandwidth (instead of 50-74.9 percent) for at least 25 percent of the reporting period.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the blue menu arrow on the left side of the Interface Utilization label, then select Configure.

    The legend at the bottom of the Interface Utilization view changes to include editable fields.

  2. Enter utilization threshold values for the following settings:
    Red Utilization %

    Set the minimum threshold for assigning a critical status to interfaces. Interfaces are flagged at the critical level when their utilization percentage approaches or exceeds this value.

    Orange Utilization %

    Set the minimum threshold for assigning a warning status to interfaces. Interfaces are flagged at the warning level if their utilization percentage is at or above this value, but is below the minimum threshold for critical status.

    For ... % of reporting period

    Set the reporting period percentage to use for calculating the thresholds.

    For example, if the value is 25, the report includes only the interfaces that have a utilization level above the threshold for 25 percent of the reporting period. For the default reporting period of 24 hours, this list includes interfaces at or above the threshold value for six hours or more during that period.

    (Optional) Change the number of interfaces that are displayed on each list page.

  3. Click Submit Changes when the configuration changes are complete.

    The Interface Utilization table and legend are updated to reflect your modified threshold settings.
