The intelliFlow(TM) Dashboard, listed as the Dashboard in the local WebUI router management interface, is a graphical display of the Accelerated device's system resources (CPU and RAM usage), and data/port usage of the connected local clients and remote servers.  This data is collected by various inbuilt, dedicated NetFlow collectors.

The key features of the intelliFlow(TM) Dashboard include:

• Line/area charts for System Resources data
• Bar/column/pie charts for data and port usage
• Charts can be exported in the PNG picture format
• Charts can be printed directly from the browser
• Charts allow interactive "drill down" of data/port usage
• Charts support interactive zooming/enlarging
• Adjustments of the history resolution can be made

The remaining of this article describes the features and interactions of each display tab.

The System Resources chart shows two pieces of information, CPU usage and RAM usage in percentage (%) over the past time range.  The available ranges, which are switchable by accessing the three horizontal bars at the top-right of the chart, include:

• Past 1 minute
• Past 1 hour
• Past 1 day
• Past 30 days
• Past 180 days

Average CPU and RAM Usage Chart

The main part of the column chart (which is the default chart type) includes:

• Title and subtitle: Description of the charts and helpful tip about how to interact with the chart
• X-axis: Past number of 'time' since the current epoch at Dashboard page load
• Y-axis: Percentage of usage
• Legend: Indicates the color of each item in the graph and what metric it correlates to

The mouse cursor can be hovered over the line (RAM) or shaded area (CPU) to show more precise usage details.  Specific parts of the chart can be zoomed in by click and dragging onto that part of the chart.

The Top User Data tab includes the Host Summary chart available as a column, a bar, or a pie chart, and a table showing the total data usage of each host, their hostname (IP address if the hostname has not been passed through the NetFlow collector), and the IP address of the host.  A view filter of the top 5, 10, and 20 hosts in terms of data usage is also available.

These options can be accessed from the three-bar button menu at the top-right of the chart.

Host Summary Chart

The main part of the column chart (which is the default chart type) includes:

• Main and subtitle: Description of the charts and helpful tip about how to interact with the chart
• X-axis: The hostnames of the data's hosts
• Y-axis: Data usage (for each host)

The main charting area contains the relevant shaded areas (i.e. bars) to represent each host.  These areas can be hovered over to show general details.  Each bar is clickable.  When clicked, they will drill down into the respective host to reveal greater details about their data usage history in a different chart.

A Back to hosts button is now visible near the top-right of the drilled-down chart, and it is used to navigate back to the main chart.

Host Summary Table

Directly under the Host Summary chart is the Host Summary table.  This table contains three fields:

• Total Data:  The total data usage of a host
• Hostname:  The hostname of the host as passed through NetFlow, or the host's IP address is used if a hostname is not detected
• IP:  The IP address of the host

The Top Servers Accessed tab includes the total traffic sorted by the remote server as a column graph (default).  It can also be viewed as a bar graph or a pie chart.  A view filter of the top 5, 10, and 20 hosts in terms of traffic throughput is also available. Below the chart is the Services Accessed table, which shows the detailed statistics of data usage in relation to the servers and hosts.

These options can be accessed from the three-bar button menu at the top-right of the chart.

The Server Drilldown Information is accessible by clicking on any one of the columns (or bars/pie slices). This reveals all the devices that accessed this server, sorted by the device which had the most traffic to the server to the device which had the least.

To navigate back to the home chart, click on the Back to servers button on the top-right of the tab.

The Data Over Time tab includes the combined total traffic of all the hosts plotted as an area line graph (default). Below the chart is the Data Usage table, which shows the host details and time period filters labelled by the data usage.

The buttons in the table at the bottom of this tab re-frames the display chart to show only the data usage in relation to that specific host within the specific time-frame. The title of the chart indicates the host and past time-frame that the chart is showing.

The Port Usage tab includes the total traffic sorted by the routing port plotted as a pie graph (default).  It can also be viewed as a column and a bar graph.  A view filter of the top 5, 10, and 20 port in terms of traffic throughput is also available. Below the chart is the Service Port Data table, which shows the detailed statistics of the ports and their respective traffic throughput.

These options can be accessed from the three-bar button menu at the top-right of the chart.

The Port Drilldown Information is accessible by clicking on any of the pie slices. This reveals all the devices that had traffic through this port, broken down into in percentage. To navigate to the main chart, click on the Back to ports button at the top of top-right of the Port Usage chart.
