Multitrend View of Top Interface Discards

Multitrend views are customizable views that let you combine trend data from multiple interfaces in a single line trend chart. You can compare the data from up to 12 interfaces in a single multitrend view.

Use multitrend views to understand performance metric trends within a device or group of managed items. For example, you can compare the utilization trends for ten interfaces on a card by adding their trend metrics to a single view. A different-colored line in the line trend chart represents each interface.

Note: Each time 12 interfaces are included in a trend chart, a new chart is created on a separate multitrend view "page". A limit of ten pages is enforced.

Each reported discard is a packet that the reporting interface threw out. The sending host must retransmit such packets if a reliable protocol such as TCP is used to send the data end-to-end. Interface discards are typically the result of congested queues serving the interface.
