Customize and Filter Results​

Adjust the network data display using the following options:

  • Time Zone: Click the Local Time icon (e.g., GMT-3) in the top-right to select a time zone (e.g., UTC, PST, MST).

  • Time Range: Click the

    icon to set a custom range or choose from predefined options like Last 15 Minutes, Last 30 Minutes, Last Hour, etc.

  • Preset: Define a custom time range (e.g., Last 2d 5h 2m for 2 days, 5 hours, and 2 minutes).

  • Auto Refresh: Enable auto-refresh to update every 10 seconds by clicking

    to start or to stop.

About Auto-refresh:
  • Dynamic Timing: Refresh intervals may adjust between 10–60 seconds depending on data load times and selected range size.
  • Preset Ranges Only: Auto-refresh applies only to Last... presets. Custom ranges are excluded, and refresh buttons are hidden for these.

With these tools, you can easily monitor and customize your traffic insights to ensure optimal network performance and make data-driven decisions effectively using the SD-WAN Portal.
