Chapter 40 Creating Traffic Profiles
Viewing Traffic Profiles
You can perform almost all the same actions on traffic profile graphs that you can perform on connection
data graphs. However, because traffic profiles are based on aggregated data (connection summaries), you
cannot examine the individual connection events on which the graphs are based. In other words, you
cannot drill down to a connection data table view from a traffic profile graph. See
data graphs. However, because traffic profiles are based on aggregated data (connection summaries), you

for more information. In addition, traffic profiles appear as
detached graphs. For more information, see
In addition, traffic profile graphs plotted over time show the mean (average) y-axis value as a bold
horizontal line. Graphs over time also plot the values of the first four standard deviations above and
below the mean, assuming that network traffic is distributed normally. By default, these statistics are
calculated over the PTW, but if you alter the time settings for a graph, the Defense Center recalculates
the statistics. Rules written against traffic profile statistics, however, are always evaluated against the
statistics for the PTW.
