You can change the look and behavior of the graph using the control panel.

To access the control panel, click Control Panel.

The Control Panel contains the following menus:

Graph Type – A selection of different graph views including: Bar, Area, Plot, Scatter Plot, Stacking Bar, Stacking Area and Pie.
Data Buffer Size – The number of past graph samples stored. The greater the number, the more samples are stored for later review.
Monitor Size – The number of graph samples that are displayed on the screen.
Sample Time – The amount of time between samples, in seconds.
Presentation Units – The average number of events, per number of seconds entered here, based on the the total number of events recorded for the duration of the Sample Time. For example, if the Presentation Units is set as 1, and the Sample Time is set as 5, the graph will display the average number of events per 1 second based on the last 5 seconds of data. Changing the value of the Presentation Units will change the display of all graphs still in the buffer.

To review the last compiled graph:

The following counters can be graphed:

Interface's RIP - response packets discarded – The number of RIP response packets received by the RIP process which were subsequently discarded for any reason (e.g. a version 0 packet, or an unknown command type).
Interface's RIP - routes ignored – The number of routes, in valid RIP packets, which were ignored for any reason (e.g. unknown address family, or invalid metric).
Interface's RIP - updates sent – The number of triggered RIP updates actually sent on this interface. This explicitly does NOT include full updates sent containing new information.
