We have Gigabit ports on all of our switches - except uplinks which are either 10 Gig or 40 Gig.
We have a need to watch all the ports at some of our sites for utilization. I've created a report and told it to sort by utilization percentage (I've tried receive, transmit and combined). The problem is that with a Gigabit interface and typical desktop usage all of the interfaces stay at 0% or very near so a sort doesn't truly sort by utilization. Is there a way to get this to sort by the bytes, rather than percentage?
I went a different approach and got much closer to what I need.
Instead of "Traffic & Percentage Utilization of Each Interface" I chose "Top XX Interfaces by Traffic" On the individual page I then added a filter for IP_Address='xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' and I get the results by the top xx (I chose 10) interfaces on the selected switch. The only problem with this approach is that I would need to create an individual page for each switch. Does anyone know how I could modify the filter to look at which switch the page is referencing and build the list from there. In other words, when I'm looking at switch A it gives me the top 10 interfaces by traffic on switch A, but when I drill down into switch B it then gives me the top 10 interfaces by traffic on switch B.
