As of April 2018, the NRG graphs have been updated. You can find your new bandwidth graph at graphs.wiscnet.net.

Why are we doing this? There are several reasons, some of which are internal, but mostly these graphs are faster, contain more information, and don't look like they came from the 90s. (No offense to the Discman, beepers, N64, or AOL screen names.)

We'll keep NRG graphs up and running through the middle of May, after which they will automatically redirect to the new graphs.


Info

If you'd like help analyzing your graphs, contact WiscNet Support (support@wiscnet.net or 608-442-6761, opt 2).

If you feel you need an upgrade, contact WiscNet Member Success (membersuccess@wiscnet.net).

Circuit Graphs

Tip

Traffic shown is from WiscNet's Backbone interface. This means that in is an upload from a member site and out is a download to a member site.

TEACH IDIdentifier if circuit provided by Teach Network
HubWiscNet Backbone aggregation device at a Pop
CPECustomer Premise Equipment on site. See WiscNet Managed Device (CPE)


Circuit Graphs

Graphs are displayed from the Hub (pop) side as well as the CPE (member) side, should a CPE exist. 

Units are in International System of Units (G = giga M = mega, m = milli..)

TermDescriptionExample Graph
bps

Bits per second

  • Dark green / Dark blue areas indicate average bps over a time period
    • Note that graph data is summarized as it ages, so older graph data will be less precise than newer graph data
  • Light Green / Light blue areas indicate maximum bps during a time period


  • Total (bottom left): approximate total traffic transferred during the timeframe selected, both directions
    • In/Out: total per direction

Number of ethernet or CRC errors on the link. Ideally this should be zero and the graph should be pretty boring. If you see errors, contact support to troubleshoot.

Device Graphs

These are sensors and indicators on your WiscNet Managed Device (CPE). These graphs will not be visible if you do not have a WiscNet-managed device.

Description
Ping Response
Time
Image Removed
Time in milliseconds it took our monitoring server to ping WiscNet router on premise. Ping is currently sourcing from Eau Claire, WI.

Image Added

CPU

Image Removed

Processor utilization of device

Image Added

Optical Monitoring (DOM)Shows light levels received on fiber optic connections

Image Added

Temperature

Image Removed

Internal temperature of device. Some models will have multiple sensors. Y axis changes dynamically.

Image Added

Memory

Image Removed

Memory utilization of WiscNet router. Some devices may display multiple readings depending on memory pool

Image Added

Uptime
Image Removed
Length of time in days since WiscNet router has last rebooted. Always up and to the right. Read the legend to get the time in days.
Older devices show this value reset every 497 days due a limitation of SNMP

Image Added

StatusStatus of device over time, calculated as percent.

Image Added

Packet Loss

Indication of Latency and Packet loss to the WiscNet CPE. Green is no loss, Blue to Red indicates loss
