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 – The graph type menu contains 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.

The following counters can be graphed:

???Total octets received – The total number of octets received on the interface, including framing characters.
subnetwork-unicast packets delivered – The number of subnetwork-unicast packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
Input non-unicast packets – The number of non-unicast (i.e., subnetwork- broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) packets delivered to a higher-layer protocol.
input discarded packets - fine packets – The number of inbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
input packets with errors, not delivered – The number of inbound packets that contained errors preventing them from being deliverable to a higher-layer protocol.
input discarded packets - protol problems – The number of packets received via the interface which were discarded because of an unknown or unsupported protocol.
???Total octets transmitted – The total number of octets transmitted out of the interface, including framing characters.
Output subnetwork-unicast packets – The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a subnetwork-unicast address, including those that were discarded or not sent.
Output non-unicast packets – The total number of packets that higher-level protocols requested be transmitted to a non- unicast (i.e., a subnetwork-broadcast or subnetwork-multicast) address, including those that were discarded or not sent.
Output discarded packets - fine packets – The number of outbound packets which were chosen to be discarded even though no errors had been detected to prevent their being transmitted. One possible reason for discarding such a packet could be to free up buffer space.
packets with errors, not transmitted – The number of outbound packets that could not be transmitted because of errors.
