12. Monitoring and Statistics
The advanced statistics engine of MicroRed, in combination with the graphing facilities of 
MicroView NMS, lets the administrator delve into the results real-time, identifying high 
bandwidth nodes and possible bottlenecks. 
Some Monitoring and Statistics features are available from the Node Shortcut 
Menu.  
Others are located under the Advanced Configuration of Node, 
Configuration 
tabs. 
See Page 24 for a diagram showing Advanced Configuration tabs and sub-tabs.

Using the Status Info Dialog Box
The Status Info dialog box provides all the information displayed in the bottom 
pane of the Network Topology tab, with the addition of an extra editable field 
which is used to set the Host Name of the node. The displayed information is 
useful in cases where the administration unit is “hidden” behind NAT and 
connectionless communication (such as MicroRed Polling Protocol and SNMP) can 
not be initiated. 
To  view  the  Status  Info  dialog  box,  click  Open Status Window in the Node 
Shortcut Menu.

Using the Current Throughput Graph
The Current Throughput graph provides a real-time graphical display of 
transmits and receives traffic of each network interface. By monitoring 
performance and analyzing performance data, you can begin to see patterns in 
the data that will help you locate bottlenecks. After you have located a 
bottleneck, you can make changes to the component to improve performance. 
Bottlenecks can occur anywhere in your server environment at any time, so it is 
important to capture baseline performance information about your system and 
monitor performance regularly. MicroView NMS provides the option of real time 
traffic monitoring. 
To view the Current Throughput Graph, click Current Throughput in the 
Node Shortcut Menu.
