Microburst

The Microburst dashboard provides an overview of traffic microbursts measured on the IOTA interfaces. The dashboard automatically selects the two interfaces as inbound and outbound and displays the microburst data for each of them separately in a chart.

This dashboard can be used to get a general overview of microburst events and intensity, and then drill down on the time range where a microburst higher than usual was detected. The benefit of this dashboard is the ability to detect and filter on intense, short living microburst spikes that may not be visible on dashboards displaying average traffic volume, which helps identify buffer overflow issues. When the user has discovered the impacted time range, they can move to a different dashboard to perform further troubleshooting.
