The Details Statistics View
The Details Statistics View Features:
When in the Details Statistics View, the user has the option of picking any node, protocol or application and requesting the details for it as well. Because of this, this view can become nested as the user continues to request details. For this reason, the very top of the view features a breadcrumb path showing all of the Details Statistics Views the user has viewed since launching from the initial request to see details from one of the Statistics views or Peer Map. The most recent Details Statistics View is shown on the far right , and the less recent Details Statistics View is shown on the far left. All breadcrumb items are a clickable link that will take the user back to that Details Statistics View, except for the most recent Details Statistics View on the far right since that’s the view the user is currently viewing.
Directly under the breadcrumbs and to the left is the title of the Details Statistics View. This title will vary depending on whether the user is viewing the details for a node, protocol, application, nodes conversation, node + protocol conversation or node + application conversation.
Directly under the title of the Details Statistics View is the Statistics Panel which displays statistics about the nodes in the view:
“Total Packets”: The total number of packets
“Total Bytes”: The total number of bytes
“kbits/s”: The utilization
“Largest Packet”: The largest packet size
“Smallest Packet”: The smallest packet size
“Average Packet Size”: The average packet size
Directly under the breadcrumbs and to the right are controls to modify the view:
If there are any nodes to display, a “Nodes” button will be displayed. Clicking this “Nodes” button will display a list of nodes below the Statistics Panel.
If there are any protocols to display, a “Protocols” button will be displayed. Clicking this “Protocols” button will display a list of protocols below the Statistics Panel.
If there are any applications to display, a “Applications” button will be displayed. Clicking this “Applications” button will display a list of applications below the Statistics Panel.
When the user is viewing protocols or applications:
The user will be able to specify whether to view them in a “Flat” layout or “Hierarchy” layout from a dropdown. This setting will be remembered between Details Statistics Views.
The user will be able to click the “Expand All” button to expand all items in the tree view.
The user will be able to click the “Collapse All” button to collapse all items in the tree view.
A Search bar will allow the user to filter the nodes, protocols or applications displayed. This setting will be remembered between Details Statistics Views.
When displaying protocols in “Hierarchy” mode, the filter will only apply to the items without children in the tree view.
When displaying applications in “Hierarchy” mode, the filter will only apply to the items without children in the tree view.
Any items in the tree view with no children due to the filter will be hidden.
An Export button will export the current view as configured and displayed into a CSV file and automatically download it to the host machine. This CSV file will be named one of the following based on which statistics are currently displayed when the export action is executed: “Application Details Statistics”, “Node Details Statistics” or “Protocol Details Statistics”.
A Refresh button will refresh the Details Statistics View.
For Captures, the Details Statistics View will refresh every 30 seconds.
Nodes
The nodes table can display the following values, which the user can toggle by clicking the “…” button on the far right of the table header:
“Node” (default): If the “Show Address Names” is enabled in the configuration options (gear icon in the top left), the name of the node is shown if there is one. Otherwise, the IP, IPv6 or physical address of the node is displayed. If a color is associated with this node, the text will be displayed in that color.
“Name”: The name of the node is shown if there is one. If a color is associated with this node, the text will be displayed in that color.

If it is collapsed, the “Bytes %”, “Packets %”, “Bytes” and “Packets” values include all packets that include that protocol in its protocol hierarchy.
Limit Message:
If the protocol statistics limit has been reached, the user will see a red error banner above the protocols table detailing the limit that was reached.
