Static scale on WAN-utilization

andersroine

Hi, it would be awesome if it where possible to disable the dynamic range when doing WAN-statistics

So we could have a view with all our wan-links, and at a glance - see that location A is not using much, but location B is peaking. And so..

If this is possible now, please pinch my arm (and give me a hint)...

The problem (I belive) in our scenario - we got 14 secondary schools, with 1 gb WAN access each, and 20 dental-location with 100 mbits. We are monitoring utilization on the wan-interface on each firewall... when trying to make a view like the picture below, "location A" is showing a graph with scales in 0 - 40 mbits, "location B" is showing a graph with scales 0-600 mbits. In a scenario when you got 30 mbits og traffic on "location A" and 250 mbits of traffic on "location B" - it would look like "location A" is heavily loaded, and "location B" is normally loaded. If we could somehow set the scale "FIXED" it would be awesome...  I think we could accomplish the same if we used port-utilization-%, but we would really like mbits.

Perhaps not the best explanation in the world, but hopefully you get my point     //-Anders

Hi,

Do you want to display percent utilization or Bit/s? It is unclear in your screenshot whether you're displaying the one or the other.

Also, if you edit the interface speed for the WAN links in Orion to a custom speed like 100, then the charts will adapt to the 100 mbit instead of 1000 mbit. This results in your bps charts normalizing somewhat in comparison to non-custom interface speed charts. Have you edited the interfaces to reflect their actual bandwidth?
