The Sensor Clusters table displays the following data when there is at least one Sensor Cluster active:

Status

The Packet Sensors table displays the following data when there is at least one Packet Sensor active:

Status

A green check mark indicates that the Packet Sensor is connected to the database. If you see a red “X” instead, make sure that the WANsupervisor service is running and look for errors in the event log (see Configuration » Schedulers » Event Reporting )

Sensor Name

Displays the name of the Packet Sensor and the associated color. Click to open a new tab with specific information. Administrators and operators can right-click to open the Packet Sensor Configuration window

Outbound bits/second throughput after IP / MAC Validation, and the usage percent

Received Pkts/s

Rate of sniffed packets before IP / MAC Validation

Ips (Int / Ext)

IP addresses that sent or received traffic. The Int(ernal)/Ext(ernal) IPs are the IPs from inside/outside the IP Zone. The Stats Engine parameter from the Sensor configuration enables or disables the monitoring of external IPs

Dropped

Packets dropped by the packet capturing engine. A high number usually indicates a sniffing performance problem

CPU%

Percentage of CPUs used by the process

RAM

Amount of memory used by the process

Start Time

Time when the Packet Sensor started

Server

Which server runs the Packet Sensor. Click to open a tab with specific data. Administrators and operators can right-click to open the Server Configuration window

The Flow Sensors table displays the following data when there is at least one Flow Sensor active:

Status

A green check mark indicates that the Flow Sensor is connected to the database. If you see a red “X” instead, make sure that the WANsupervisor service is running and look for errors in the event log (see Configuration » Schedulers » Event Reporting )

Sensor Name

Displays the name of the Flow Sensor. Click to open a new tab with specific data. Administrators and operators can right-click to open the Flow Sensor Configuration window

Interface

Interface name and the associated color. If the interface names are missing for more than 5 minutes after the Flow Sensor has started, check the Flow Sensor Troubleshooting guide

Pkts/s (In / Out)

Inbound Bits/s

Inbound bits/second throughput after IP / AS Validation, and usage percent

Outbound Bits/s

Ips (Int / Ext)

Flows/s

Flows per second received by the Flow Sensor

Flows Delay

Because traffic data must be aggregated, flow devices export flows with a configured delay. Some devices export flows much later than the configured delay and this field contains the maximum flows delay detected by the Flow Sensor. Flow Sensor cannot run with flow delays higher than 5 minutes

Dropped

Unaccounted flows. A high number indicates a performance problem of the Flow Sensor or a network connectivity issue with the flow exporter

CPU%

Percentage of CPU resources used by the Flow Sensor process

RAM

Amount of RAM used by the Flow Sensor process

Start Time

Time when the Flow Sensor started

The SNMP Sensors table displays the following data when there is at least one SNMP Sensor active:

Status

A green check mark indicates that the SNMP Sensor is connected to the database. If you see a red “X” instead, make sure that the WANsupervisor service is running and look for errors in the event log (see Configuration » Schedulers » Event Reporting )

Sensor Name

Displays the name of the SNMP Sensor. Click to open a new tab with specific data. Administrators and operators can right-click to open the SNMP Sensor Configuration window

Interface

Interface name and the associated color

Pkts/s (In / Out)

Inbound and outbound packets/second throughput

Inbound Bits/s

Outbound Bits/s

Outbound bits/second throughput and usage percent

Errors/s (In / Out)

For packet-oriented interfaces, it represents the number of inbound and outbound packets that contained errors, preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. For character-oriented or fixed-length interfaces, it represents the number of inbound transmission units that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol

Discards/s (In / Out)

Discarded inbound and outbound packets even though no errors were detected to prevent them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space

Oper. Status

Current operational state of the interface. The Testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. If Administrative Status is Down then Operational Status should be Down. If Administrative Status is changed to Up then Operational Status should change to Up if the interface is ready to transmit and receive network traffic; it should change to Dormant if the interface is waiting for external actions (such as a serial line waiting for an incoming connection); it should remain in the Down state if and only if there is a fault that prevents it from going to the Up state; it should remain in the NotPresent state if the interface has missing (typically, hardware) components

Admin. Status

Desired state of the interface. The Testing state indicates that no operational packets can be passed. When a managed system initializes, all interfaces start with the Administrative Status in the Down state. As a result of either explicit management action or per configuration information retained by the managed system, the Administrative Status is then changed to either the Up or Testing states (or remains in the Down state)

CPU%

Percentage of CPU resources used by the process

RAM

Amount of RAM used by the process

Start Time

Time when the SNMP Sensor started
