Port Statistics

This section describes the XenaManager port statistics page. The page displays statistics information for the currently selected port and all streams defined on that port.

The page will only display data for a single port at a time. If you want to monitor statistics data for multiple ports at a time please refer to Stream Configuration Grid.

Port Transmit Statistics

This area contains statistics for all data transmitted by the port.

The area contains a toolbar with the following commands:

Table 48 Commands in TX Toolbar

Command

Explanation

Clear TX Counters

Clear the current TX statistics counters for this port.

(checkbox)

If checked the TX statistics counters for this port will be affected when the Clear Statistics command is executed in the Global Statistics panel.

Mark

Set the font color of the current counter values to gray. Any counter value that changes afterwards will revert to blue. This makes it easy to check if a value changes over time.

Save

Allow you to save the current counters to a CSV text file.

Main Transmit Statistics

Table 49 Main Transmit Statistics

Statistics Type

Explanation

Total Traffic for Port

This row show statistics counters for all traffic transmitted on the port regardless of type. This is the sum of the traffic sent without test payload and the traffic sent for each active stream.

Without Test Payload

This row show statistics counters for the part of the transmitted traffic that is sent without test payload.

Stream Traffic

This branch contains a row for each stream currently active on the port.

Common Column Header Functions

The two statistics tabs also share a common functionality with regard to the grid column headers. You can reorder the columns in the grid by dragging a column header to a new location. The new order will be remembered the next time you start XenaManager. The following options are available when right-clicking on the grid column headers:

Explanation

Hide Column

Hide the selected column from view. This selection will be remembered the next time you start XenaManager.

Reset Column Order

Resets any custom column order you may have configured to the default order.

View All Columns

Show all columns you may have hidden previously.

Error Injection

This section show the number of errors manually injected by the user for each possible error type.

Miscellaneous Control

This section show the number of transmitted ARP/NDP and PING requests and replies, MAC training packets and IGMP Joins.

Port Receive Statistics

This area contains statistics for all data received by the port.

Calibrate Latency

When pressed the current average latency value will be saved as the calibrated latency offset.

Poll Always

Normally a port is only polled for statistics counters when it is visible in a statistics panel, such as this panel or the Global Statistics panel. But if you want the port to be polled always you can check this box. This function can be useful if you want to monitor the state of the port over a long period of time.
