Parameters for which values are cumulative are generally only representative when considered for a specific period of time. Those values are therefore mostly unusable when displayed in the Status tab of the Portal, since they represent a static number of data collected since the last polling. The value consequently changes a lot depending on the exact polling period.

A rather more meaningful way to view cumulative-value parameters would be to create a report to visualize these values on a hourly or daily basis in total (how many gigabytes have been transmitted each day, for example).

1.Open the Reports tab
2.Select the NetApp Filer for which you want to obtain received and transmitted data values
3.Select 2 in the Number of Charts to Display option
4.Select for the Network Transfer Bytes (GB) parameter for the first chart and Disk Transfer Bytes (GB) for the second chart
5.Define the period of time for which you want to display the values
6.Click Update
