Real-Time Reports

Reports are available in both tabular and graphical format.  The tabular format uses the table report elements that are common in most reporting environments.  It allows for the quick and easy location of critical information.  The graphical format provides the same information in a format suitable for presentations.  The graphical format (charts) provide information on  the following:

·         real-time network response time between enterprise hosts and any
other TCP/IP connection,

·         real-time workload information for the enterprise TCP/IP hosts such
as the number of sessions, total number of bytes transmitted, and average number of bytes transmitted, and

·         workload and network performance trending are provided in real time.  The information can be summarized by time or by host.

On the following pages, both report formats are provided for each reporting function.  Both formats may be printed via the browser functions. 

Note:   For information on report options, please refer to Appendix C: Options Button in this manual.

NPM/IP views the TCP/IP network performance from the enterprise level to the remote user connection. Performance indicators are available for workload, usage, and response time. The Real-Time Reports are available for gathering and monitoring network data in the daily work environment. The Real-Time and History reports are available as soon as the Host Monitor has been active for a period of time. The SessionLog Expert allows viewing of near time or current time sessions, that is, sessions that are either currently live or have recently happened

To view a Real-Time Report, perform the following steps:

1.      From the Real-Time Reports window, click the Workload or Performance Report you wish to view:

3.      The report screen appears. Real-Time Reports provide two categories of reporting:

Workload

Shows the workload by sessions and bytes per application(s) creating the most demand on your system. Available reports are:

-         Connect Expert

-         Details Selected/Port/Address

-         Top Applications Sessions

-         Top Applications Bytes

-         Selected Application Session

-         Selected Application Bytes

-         Client Workload


Performance

Provides information on the average response times for a particular address and the network, as well as providing information in terms of overall network performance.
