WHAT TO EXPECT
In this article, you will learn how to view the performance metrics for your cloudSwXtch and the xNICs associated with it.
Locating the wXcked Eye cloudSwXtch Page
To navigate to the cloudSwXtch page, users will need to click on the menu (≡) option at the top left hand corner by the swXtch.io logo.
From there, select swXtch.

cloudSwXtch Key Performance Metrics
Once the page loads, users will be presented a high-level view of their selected cloudSwXtch's data flow. This page provides detailed information regarding the cloudSwXtch and illustrates 4 key performance metrics:
Data Egress
Data Ingress
Packets Egress
Packets Ingress
Data egress/ingress are displayed in bits per second (bps) while packets egress/ingress are displayed in packets per second (pps). In addition to the rate, the total number of bits and packets are displayed for the user. These metrics are further explored in the Performance section with four related graphs and an additional Packets Dropped graph.
cloudSwXtch Information Panel
Important network information of the cloudSwXtch such as the GUID, IP address, location (resource groups), cloud provider, version, & replicator status is shown in the top left card along with its name, which in this case is core-200. In addition, the number of cores and number of associated xNICs to the cloudSwXtch will also be displayed.
Bandwidth usage is also listed. In the event that a cloudSwXtch exceeds its allotted bandwidth, a warning symbol will appear.
xNICs Panel
At the bottom of the cloudSwXtch Stats page, users will be able to see the xNICs panel. This panel lists the agents that are connected to the cloudSwXtch. Each listed xNIC is accompanied with its version, ingress/egress rates, and packet drops. When using the dropdown feature for an agent, a user can see the multicast groups associated with the xNIC and its ingress/egress rates.
