Configure a Traffic Statistics Widget

A Traffic statistics widget displays a chart showing live and historic performance statistics for individual device objects including the number of requests being received, the loads on each of the load balancers, and peak request times.

To configure a Traffic statistics widget on your dashboard, complete the following steps:

  1. If you are creating a Traffic statistics widget as part of creating a new dashboard, complete the steps in the Create a Dashboard topic above, then jump to Step 5 below. If you are creating a Traffic statistics widget for an existing dashboard, click in the Command bar of the dashboard.
  2. On the Create widget screen that pops up, select Traffic statistics as the widget type.
  3. Enter a name for the widget.
  4. Click Create.
  5. On the Settings screen that appears, enter the time interval in minutes and seconds for collecting statistics from the devices.
  6. In the Live Interval field, set how often you want to collect the live performance statistics of an object.
  7. In the Vendor field, select the vendor whose devices you want to collect statistics for A10, AVI, Citrix, or F5.
  8. In the Device state field, select whether you want to include devices in the widget that have a status of Active, Standby, or All, where "All" means devices with a status of either Active or Standby.
  9. In the Object type field, select the kind of object you are adding.
    The options that appear in this field vary depending on the vendor you selected in Step 6.
  10. In the Object field, select an object you want to gather statistics for.
    The list of objects that appear varies depending on the object type you selected in Step 8.
  11. In the Statistics field, enter the kind of statistics you want to gather.
    The list of statistics varies depending on the object you selected in Step 9 and can include both live and historical data within the same widget.
  12. Click Add to add the object to the widget.
  13. Repeat steps 6-11 for each vendor, device, and object you want to include in the widget.
  14. When you are done adding objects, click Save to create the widget.
    The dashboard screen reappears, displaying the widget (Live performance statistics) you just created.
    • The historic performance statistics will be collected and displayed based on the time interval you configured in the Settings > ADC > Statistics. For detailed information, refer to the Statistics Management section in theADC Settings topic of this guide.
    • Click on Day/Week/Month/Quarter tab within the widget to view the historic performance statistics.
