Graphing SLM Class Conformance Rates

To obtain a graph of data for a specific SLM class, click Activity. Underneath the current activity graph, click Change Data.

The Traffic Manager now displays a tree of different values which can be plotted. Expand the node marked Service Level Monitoring Classes.

You can now select whether to plot data for one particular SLM class, or for all SLM classes. You can also plot values for the measurement data used by the SLM class, for example average response times for the SLM class. A useful graph might include total connections and total non-conforming connections for all SLM classes on the same plot, facilitating a visual comparison of the overall performance of a system.

All of the connection data and response time data can be plotted on a per node basis. This can be used to identify nodes which are under performing. A good graph to achieve this would be to plot the mean response times of each of the nodes used by the SLM class. To select data for a node used by an SLM class, unfold the section with the name of the SLM class and check the nodes you are interested in.
