Network Monitoring
The Network Monitoring menu contains submenus that display system-configured dashboards. These dashboards are tailored to provide comprehensive visual representations of network data and performance metrics. Users can access detailed insights into devices configured for distinct time periods, including 15 minutes, 30 minutes,1 hour, 12 hours, 24 hours, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days or 1 year. Users can utilize these submenus to track historical trends, analyze patterns, and assess the performance of network devices across different durations.
This chapter describes the following sections:
