DESCRIPTION
Select Interface Usage in this field.
Select which interface mode you want to monitor. Interface refers
to the connectivity implementation of the device to the network or
other devices.
Choose one of the following.
• Ethernet
• VLAN
• PPP (stands for Point-to-Point Protocol)
• Bridge
• Dial-backup
• 3G (stands for 3rd Generation)
• wireless
Select the specific name for devices that can have multiple
interface profiles.
Select if you want to check outgoing (Tx) or incoming (Rx) traffic.
You can also choose both (Tx+Rx).
Set your filters according to how much system resources are
being consumed by monitored devices. The following parameters
can be used.
• >= - Select this if you want to be alerted when a device uses
resources greater than or equal to the value you set.
• <= - Select this if you want to be alerted when a device uses
resources less than or equal to the value you set.
• < - Select this if you want to be alerted when a device uses
resources greater than the value you set.
• > - Select this if you want to be alerted when a device uses
resources less than the value you set.
For example, choose Ethernet, specifying lan1 interface and Tx
direction, select >= and set the percentage value to 100 KByte/s.
This means Vantage Report sends an alert once a monitored
device uses or exceeds 100 KBytes/s outgoing traffic on lan1 of
the Ethernet interface for a set time (see Period.. minutes field
below).
Set this to the number of minutes the condition persists before
Vantage Report sends out an alert.
Using the previous example, you can set the period to 5 minutes.
This means that if the device reaches or exceeds 100 KByte/s of
interface traffic for 5 minutes, Vantage Report sends out an alert.
