Counter Simulation
Any counter can be simulated with either a constant or a random simulation. The rate can be configurable at run-time.
- The following graphs show simulations of the interface group for a Windows NT machine.
- The constant simulation
maintains the exact rate throughout the duration of the simulation and
can be used in situations where deterministic, precisely controlled
values are required. Combined with the feature to pause the agent simulation
at any point in time, regression tests for management applications can
be easily constructed.
The following graph shows the same scenario with a random simulation. The values of the counter hover randomly around an average rate, enabling flow-based analysis. Again, the average rate is adjustable at run-time.
