Monitoring Activity

  1. The Activity Graph tab displays system activity (inbound queues, outbound queues, and manual and automatic order creation).
  2. Select a Graph option to indicate what type of graph you wish to view: Inbound Queue, Outbound Queue, or Orders Created. The system displays the inbound queue graph by default.
  3. For the graph's Time range, enter a date and time in the format MM/DD/YYYY, HH:MM AM/PM in the Start and End fields, or select a date from the calendar view by selecting the calendar icon located next to the fields. The start date defaults to 12:00 AM on the current date, and the end date defaults to 11:59 PM on the current date. Select Now to enter the current date and time. Select Clear to clear the date and time fields.
  4. Enter a number and select a unit of measurement (Minute(s), Hour(s), or Day(s)) to define the Units the system should use for the graph.

  6. Once you have set the graph criteria, select Refresh to update the page with the latest activity information based on your selected graph type, time range, and unit of measurement. If no results match the search criteria, "No hosts have activity for the selected date range" will appear on the page.
  7. As you review the graph, note the following:
    • Each point on the graph represents one unit of time.
    • Each point appears at the beginning of the time range you select. So, if you select a week for the amount of time to view, then the system places the first point at the beginning of the week on the graph.
    • The system only displays data on the graph if data exists for the type of graph and time range you select.
    • Each graph type can have several sets of data on the graph at a time, depending on what data is available, each illustrated with a uniquely colored line. The inbound queue graph shows a set of data for each host that has inbound data for the selected time range. The outbound queue graph shows a set of data for each host and delivery type (email, fax, remote print, direct print, etc.) that has outbound data for the selected time range. The orders created graph shows a set of data for orders created by an interface, and one for orders created manually.
  8. Move the mouse over a data point to display the data set's name, the time range represented, and actual value for that point on the graph.
  9. Select Refresh to update the page with the latest activity information. The system retains your selected graph type, time range, and unit of measurement when you refresh the page, so you will need to manually change these values, if desired.
