Configuring the Traffic Page
You can configure several elements of the Monitor Traffic page:
• Whether to display the host and user names for session clients.
• How to sort session clients and data sources.
• Whether to display the TDV Server ID and port number for the TDV Server.
• Whether to display the names of data sources.
• How to filter session clients: by host, user name, client name, or domain name. You can just list which clients to include.
• How to filter data sources: by name or by path. You can just list the data sources to include.
To configure the Traffic page
1. Run Monitor.
2. Click Traffic to display the Traffic page.
3. Click the Configuration button in the upper right corner of the page.
Monitor displays the Traffic View Configuration dialog.
4. In the Traffic View Configuration dialog, select the display and sorting options as follows.
Option | Category | Description |
Labels | Session Clients | • Show Host Name—Displays the host name when checked. • Show User Name—Displays the user name when checked. |
Sort | Session Clients | You can sort in ascending or descending order. Choose one of these options: • Do not sort • Host Name • User Name • Client Type • Domain Name |
Data Sources | • Data Source Name—Sorts the data sources in alphabetical order from left to right. • Data Source Path—Sorts the data sources according to the path. |
Filter | Session Clients Data Sources | To use this option, enter a comma-separated list of text values to match full or partial host, user, client, or domain names of the session clients to include. For example, you might specify “sys, mon” to display only clients with these strings in their names. |
Labels | TDV Server | • Show Server ID—Displays the host name when checked. • Show Port Number—Displays the port number when checked |
Labels | Data Sources | • Show Data Source Name—Displays the data source name when checked. |
5. Optionally, for the Session Clients Filter, click the Open Inclusion Filter button to specify which session clients you want to display on the Traffic page.
a. Check the boxes for all session clients that you want to include on the Traffic page. Here are some details about how the inclusion filter works:
— Next to Session Clients in the title bar is a number in parentheses. This shows the total number of session clients, whether selected or not.
— To select or clear all session clients for display, click the check box at the top of the column.
— If an entry is selected, it is displayed as long as the client is in the system.
— This is an inclusion filter: if a row is not checked, it does not mean that it is not displayed. It still is displayed if the string match filter in the Traffic View Configuration Filter for session clients includes it.
— Selected entries are displayed in addition to the clients specified in the string match filter in the Traffic View Configuration Filter for session clients.
— If the string match filter in the Traffic View Configuration Filter for session clients is empty, only the selected clients in the Inclusion Filter are displayed. However, if the string match filter is empty and no client is selected in the Inclusion Filter, all clients are displayed.
— Each column can be sorted by clicking on the column header. Multiple column sort is supported by clicking the sort arrow to the right section of the column header.
b. Click Update.
In the Traffic View Configuration dialog, a number in parentheses now appears next to the Open Inclusion Filter button that lets you know the number of session clients to include.
Note: If you click Update and you used the Inclusion Filter, the list of selected session clients in the Inclusion Filter dialog is saved locally and used in the filtering process. This list might become outdated: the number in parentheses next to Session Clients might not match the selected rows in the Inclusion Filter table, because the table shows only items currently available in the system.
6. Optionally, for the Data Sources Filter, click Open Inclusion Filter to specify which data sources you want to display in the Traffic page.
a. Check the boxes for all data sources that you want to include on the Traffic page. To display all data sources, click the check box at the top of the column. Here are some details about how the inclusion filter works:
— Next to Data Sources in the title bar is a number in parentheses showing the total number of data sources, whether selected or not.
— To display all data sources, click the check box at the top of the column.
— If an entry is selected, it is displayed as long as the data source is in the system.
— This is an inclusion filter, so if a row is not checked, it does not mean that it is not displayed. This is because the string match filter in the Traffic View Configuration Filter for data sources might include them.
— The selected entries are displayed in addition to the data sources specified in the string match filter in the Traffic View Configuration Filter for data sources.
— If the string match filter in the Traffic View Configuration Filter for data sources is empty, only the selected data sources in the Inclusion Filter are displayed. However, if the string match filter is empty and no data source is selected in the Inclusion Filter, all data sources are displayed.
— Each column can be sorted by clicking on the column header. Multiple column sort is supported by clicking the sort arrow to the right section of the column header.
b. Click Update.
In the Traffic View Configuration dialog, a number in parentheses now appears next to the Open Inclusion Filter button that lets you know the number of data sources to include.
Note: If you click Update and you used the Inclusion Filter, the list of selected data sources in the Inclusion Filter dialog is saved locally and used in the filtering process. This list might become outdated: the number in parentheses next to Data Sources might not match the selected rows in the Inclusion Filter table, because the table shows only items currently available in the system.
7. Optionally, for Session Clients or Data Sources, check the Show Visible Node Counter check box to show what is currently displayed on the Traffic page in the format Displayed/Filtered (included)/All.
This example shows a total of five client nodes in the system, three of which passed the filter; and 24 data sources, 21 of which passed the filter.
If the screen does not display all nodes, it is not large enough. You can see all of the nodes listed in the Inclusion Filter and make adjustments there to make sure the nodes you are interested in are visible in the Traffic panel.
The color bands relate to the counter values in the following way:
— Turquoise—Number of nodes displayed.
— Orange—Number of nodes included in the filter result but not displayed.
— Beige—Number of nodes not displayed because they were not in the filter result.
8. Click OK to save the new configuration.
