Interface Name – specifies the name of a target network interface to monitor. The name can be set either directly or via the Select Network Interface dialog that opens if the Selelct button is pressed:

Interface Bandwidth, kbit/s – specifies the target network interface bandwidth. A WMI query used to get an Interface Name also returns the nominal interface bandwidth used as the default Interface Bandwidth value. The value can be set manually, and the default value can be changed if the actual network bandwidth is smaller than the nominal interface bandwidth.

Measure traffic – specifies a data set – what traffic to measure: Total (the default), Inbound or Outbound. The data set can be changed via the drop-down menu:

The and show it as parameter shown above specifies units to measure the traffic speed. The units can be set via the drop-down menu. The default is bandwidth percentage. The others are kbit/s and Mbit/s.

Authentication – has the same meaning as the similar WMI Monitor parameter.

Note: Speed Limits can be set on the monitor State conditions tab. A monitor will switch to a problem state (Warning or Down) after the traffic speed exceeds these limits. By default, no limits are set.

The Interface Name parameter has the same meaning as defined for the WMI Traffic Speed Monitor.

Measure – this parameter specifies what traffic to measure: Total (the default), Inbound or Outgoing. This parameter can be changed via the drop-down menu in the same way as described for the WMI Traffic Speed Monitor. A confirmation dialog appears if this parameter is changed, since a change resets the collected traffic volume numbers:

The and show it as parameter specifies units to measure the traffic volume. The units can be set via the drop-down menu. The default unit is kbytes. Thr others are Mbytes and Gbytes.

Show total traffic for the last – this parameter specifies the length of the time window for the monitor, i.e., the length of a period of time, ending at the current moment, for which traffic data are gathered and summed. Time window of 1 day means only the data collected exactly 24 hours ago (related to current moment) and later are summed. The window is set to 1 day by default and can be changed via the drop-down menu:

If this parameter is changed, then the collected Traffic Volume value will change accordingly.

Authentication – has the same meaning as the identical WMI Monitor parameter.

Note: Volume Limits can be set on the monitor State conditions tab. A monitor will switch to a problem state (Warning or Down) after the traffic volume per summation period exceeds these limits. By default, no limits are set.

Interface Name – specifies the name of a target network interface to monitor. The name can be set either directly or via the Select Network Interface dialog (similar to the WMI Traffic Speed Monitor‘s Select Network Interface dialog) that opens if the Select button is pressed:

Interface Bandwidth, kbit/s – specifies the target network interface bandwidth. An SNMP request used to get an Interface Name also returns the interface bandwidth used as the default Interface Bandwidth value. This value can also be set manually.

The Measure traffic and show it as parameters have the same meaning as described for the WMI Traffic Speed Monitor.

Credentials – section has the same meaning as the similar SNMP Custom Monitor section.

Note: Speed Limits can be set on the monitor State conditions tab. A monitor will switch to a problem state (Warning or Down) after the traffic speed exceeds these limits. By default, no limits are set.

The Interface Name parameter is the same as for the SNMP Traffic Speed Monitor.

The Measure traffic, show it as, and Show total traffic for the last parameters are the same as the corresponding WMI Traffic Volume Monitor parameters.

Credentials – section has the same meaning as the similar SNMP Custom Monitor section.

Note: Volume Limits can be set on the monitor State condition tab. A monitor will switch to a problem state (Warning or Down) after the traffic volume per summation period exceeds these limits.
