Multiview: 2. Multiview Analysis

How to drive the Multiview Screen
CySight provides a number of easy options to enhance a report by changing the time period or timezone or display fields or by refining the Criteria of the report.
Different Multiview, Forensics or Visual Analytic perspectives of any data in a Multiview analysis are available via right-click drilldown menus or by employing the left-menu to inherit periods and criteria. This provides an unprecedented granularity and flexibility for performance monitoring, bandwidth utilization, absolute network visibility and root cause analysis. Coupled with superior scalability CySight exceeds the capabilities of any other Netflow analyzer.
The IPv4 and IPv6 option at the top of the screen allows you to quickly switch between IPv4 and IPv6 flow data whilst retaining all other report options and where possible maintaining the criteria.
The top quick-search toolbar allows a quick lookup of Devices and/or Interfaces and/or Protocols, and/or IPs, and/or Ports.

Using the left-click and drag allows part of a time or stacked area chart to be highlighted. This will enable the "zoom" icon. Clicking the "zoom" icon will rebuild the report with the highlighted period.
Right-clicking on the highlighted part of a time or stacked area chart opens a popup menu to allow drilldown to any other Multiview, Forensics or Visual analytic of the zoomed period.
Right-clicking on the grid record opens a popup menu to allow drilldown to any other Multiview, Forensics or Visual analytic of the grid item selected. If a section of a time or stacked period has already been highlighted then the selected period will also reflect in the subsequent view.
Left-Clicking on the grid item retains the current Multiview structure displaying only the grid item selected and any time period concurrently selected.

The IPv4 and IPv6 option at the top of the screen allows you to quickly switch between IPv4 and IPv6 flow data whilst retaining all other report options and where possible maintaining the criteria.
Where criteria contain IP fields the view will revert to the "Custom Multiview" screen when swapping between IPv4 and IPv6.
The top quick-search toolbar allows a quick lookup of Devices and/or Interfaces and/or Protocols, and/or IPs, and/or Ports.
Devices and Interfaces allow matching using the '%' wildcard character.
