Data Displayed

Metric Types

The system tracks network traffic metrics across devices:

• Rx Bytes: Bytes received by network interfaces
• Tx Bytes: Bytes transmitted by network interfaces
• Rx Error Bytes: Error bytes encountered during reception
• Tx Error Bytes: Error bytes encountered during transmission

Device Integration

The system tracks metrics from various infrastructure elements including:

• VyOS Innovation [WAG]: VyOS WAG network devices deployed on Bare Metal infrastructure

Data Values

The system tracks metrics with:

• Numerical Results: Values like 0.0 Bytes, 22,692,374,040.0 Bytes displayed with information icons providing additional context
• Network Traffic Data: Tracking bytes transmitted and received across network interfaces
• Error Monitoring: Separate tracking of error bytes for both transmission and reception

Temporal Data

• All entries are timestamped with precise date and time information
• Data spans multiple time periods for historical analysis
• Recent entries from May 12, 2026 are displayed with timestamps ranging across different time periods

Notes/Tips

Performance Optimization

• Use specific filters to reduce large dataset load times
• Consider exporting data for complex analysis rather than processing in-browser
• The default "Last hour" filter helps focus on recent activity
• Use the refresh button to ensure you're viewing the most current data

Data Interpretation

• 0.0 Bytes Results: May indicate no network traffic during the measurement period or inactive interfaces
• Large Byte Values: High transmission values (e.g., 22+ billion bytes) indicate significant network activity
• Information Icons: Hover over or click the information icons next to numerical results for additional context
• Error Bytes: Non-zero error values may indicate network issues requiring attention

Best Practices

• Regularly monitor network traffic metrics to maintain system performance and identify bottlenecks
• Use the organization filter when managing multi-tenant environments
• Export historical data periodically for long-term trend analysis and network capacity planning
• Monitor both transmitted and received bytes to understand bidirectional traffic patterns
• Track error bytes to identify and resolve network issues promptly
• Monitor traffic across Bare Metal infrastructure to ensure optimal network performance
• Use filters to focus on specific network devices or time periods for targeted analysis
