Monitor Switches

The Monitor Overview tab is the default display that provides the overall health of the device. The page starts with the topology overview graphic at the top, followed by the device overall health timeline graph. By default, this timeline displays data for the last 24 hours, but you can change the time range by Day, Week, or Month, and for 1, 2, 4, 8, and 24 hour durations. Choose Day from the Time Range drop-down to see the event data in the timeline on an hourly basis. Choose Week or Month to see the data on a daily basis. You can also drag either side of the timeline to change it. Select = at the bottom right of this timeline to print it or to download it in a variety of file formats.

Hover the cursor over the different icons to display CPU Usage, Memory, MAC Table Utilization, Last Seen (uptime), Temperature, Power Supply Status, and Fan Status.

A table of port details follows the port graphic section, followed by the Active Alarms overview graphic.
