Reporting › Interface Context Views › Top Hosts - Pie

Top Hosts - Pie

The Top Hosts (Pie) views include pie charts that show the Top IP hosts that account for the highest volumes of IP traffic on the selected interface.

The view includes a pie chart and table of information about the high-volume hosts on the selected interface. A text string near the top of the view identifies the interface whose data is displayed. The table includes the following information by default:

Host Name

Identifies the host server by its name or IP address. If an administrator defined an alias for the device item, the alias is displayed. Otherwise, the discovered device name is displayed.

Total

Records the total amount of data that was exchanged between the host and the interface (for example, in number of megabytes).

Percent

Records the percentage of the total network traffic for the displayed hosts that is associated with the particular host.

By default, views and reports show the most recent 24 hours of data.
