Network Statistics

Cisco WAN Manager collects network statistical data on the operation of the network and stores them
in its database. They are available for display on the Cisco WAN Manager console in either tabular form
or as bar charts. Statistics can be a useful source of information for troubleshooting problems that do
not necessarily cause a major or minor alarm indication or for locating intermittent failures that may
occur at random.
There are four classes of statistics:
•
•
•
•
Table 28-1 Most statistics are collected on-demand and must be enabled by the system operator. The
operator can set the collection interval, the sampling times, and the number of collection buckets to
tailor the statistics for either long-term network performance evaluation or short term for network
troubleshooting.
This table lists the statistics categories and the general nature of the statistics collected in each category.
Note this is not a complete list of statistics but merely indicates some of the various conditions
monitored. Refer to the Cisco WAN Manager Operations document for a complete listing.
