What data exactly am I seeing on this report? What first alerted me to this was that I had an interface with a large number of errors that was top of my Top 10 Errors and Discards list. I wen on to the device and cleared the counters, upon viewing the Top 10 errors errors window again I saw that the offending interface was still present in the window. I checked again 20 minutes later (and our NPM web console page is et to refresh every 5 min) and the offending interface was still present?!
In the end I needed to rediscover the interface for it to be removed from the list. This is worrying because I am concerned about the validity of the info in this window now. Yesterday before I left work I logged on to a device that was present on the list and cleared the counters on that too. When I came in this morning and checked the Errors window the device was still present although in a different position on the list with a different number of errors so this suggests it is working properly but I cant really see the errors increasing as the day goes on. What I need to know though is this: Is the top 10 Errors and Discards window displaying live data from this very day or am I viewing data from yesterday's 24hr period and does this "today" chart update itself through out the day or does it just give data from a 24hr period? Sorry I can't validate any of this as I am unsure as to whether my window is updating properly. Thanks!!
