Switch System Details – Performance

  • The top section of the Performance tab for Connectrix switches is Object Activity, and it displays the top ports contributing to Utilization, Errors, and Congestion sorted by their 24-hour average. Showing the top objects first allows the user to quickly identify ports using the most resources and experiencing the most errors in the last 24 hours.

    The user can scroll down to see 24-hour charts for the following Connectrix switch performance metrics:

    • Utilization – The percentage of system bandwidth in use. This value represents the percentage of transmit bandwidth being used across all switch interfaces.
    • Congestion – The sum of all “time spent at zero transmit” counters across all switch interfaces.
    • Errors – The sum of all bit error counters across all switch interfaces.
    • Link Resets – The sum of all Link Reset primitives that have been either transmitted or received across all switch interfaces.

    Highlighting an area in any of these performance charts shows the top five port contributors to that performance metric during that time period in the Most Active tab on the left side of the chart. The Best Match tab lists the ports with the most closely matched shape during the selected period. The ports listed in the left side of each chart are hyperlinks that direct the user to port-level performance charts. Performance anomaly detection is supported in each of these performance charts.

    PowerSwitch devices show 24-hour charts and performance anomalies for the following performance metrics:

    • Error – The Bit Error Rate across all switch interfaces.
    • Utilization – The percentage of transmit bandwidth being used across all switch interfaces.
    • CPU Utilization – The percentage of CPU usage over the selected time period.
    • Memory Utilization – The percentage of memory usage used by various processes running on the switch.

    Note: Performance metrics required minimum of OS10 version 10.5.3.2. Memory utilization requires a minimum of OS10 version 10.5.4.
