Average Bandwidth Utilization monitor graph

This graph shows the average bandwidth utilized by a virtual user or a virtualized location from the maximal available bandwidth allocated for it during the last second, measured in percentages.

Purpose

Helps you evaluate the bandwidth used over your network.
X-axis

Elapsed time since the start of the run.
Y-axis

The percentage of bandwidth utilization.
Note

You cannot change the granularity of the x-axis to a value that is less than the web granularity you defined in the General tab of the Options dialog box.
Tips

For Analysis (not applicable to monitoring graphs):

To view information for a specific location:

  1. Click within the graph.
  2. Select Set Filter/ Sort By from the right-click menu to open the Graph Settings dialog box.
  3. In the Filter condition section, select the Location Name row, and select the relevant location from the drop-down list.

When you enable Network Virtualization for a scenario, you choose the monitoring mode—per group or per load generator. The graph shows the measurements per group or load generator, based on your selection.

If you enabled Network Virtualization per group, check if a certain location reached a peak during the run, compared with other locations whose bandwidth utilization remained constant. This comparison can help you determine which region experienced bandwidth issues.

If you enabled Network Virtualization per load generator, and not per group, the graph shows the measurements per load generator.
