Overview

The NST Network Interface Bandwidth Monitor is an interactive dynamic SVG/AJAX enabled application integrated into the NST WUI for monitoring Network Bandwidth usage on each configured network interface in pseudo real-time. The image below is an example display of the bandwidth monitoring application for network interface: "eth0". Also shown is the included Ruler Measurement tool overlay to perform time and bandwidth rate analysis.

The following are key features of the NST Network Interface Bandwidth Monitor tool:

  • Graphically monitor Network Bandwidth rates on each configured network interface within the NST WUI.
  • User selectable network interface network interface to monitor.
  • Interactive display using dynamic SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics).
  • User selectable AJAX query updates providing a pseudo real-time Bandwidth Rate presentation.
  • Automatic and manual bandwidth rate scale adjustments.
  • Ajustable graph dimensions for long duration bandwidth monitoring.
  • Graph controls for visual appearance including fill and opacity setting.
  • Zoom controls for graph size enlargement and Full Screen viewing.
  • Crosshairs overlay for exploring time and bandwidth values.
  • A Ruler Measurement tool overlay for time and bandwidth rate analysis.

This example shows the bandwidth monitoring application for selected network interfaces: "em1, em2, em8 and lo" on a NST system configured with eleven (11) network interfaces.
