wXcked Eye Adaptors (Protocol Fanout)

WHAT TO EXPECT
The Adaptors page allows users to see metrics for non-Multicast and non-Broadcast data flows. This includes protocols and roles, such as SRT Caller, SRT Listener, RIST Caller and RIST Listener.

In this section, users will learn how to navigate between different protocols and their adaptors in order to better visualize their packets' movements.

PLEASE NOTE
This page only shows the stats for protocol fanout configurations. To learn how to configure your cloudSwXtch for Protocol Fanout and Conversion in the wXcked Eye UI, please read the Adaptors or the Flows page.

Locating the wXcked Eye Adaptors page

To navigate to the Adaptors page, users will need to click on the menu (≡) option at the top left-hand corner by the swXtch.io logo.

From there, select Adaptors.

Navigating the Protocol Fanout Stats page

Statistics displayed through the wXcked Eye UI focus primarily on multicast and broadcast data flow. The Protocol Fanout Stats page provides users with a dedicated area to see data flow for alternative protocols like SRT and RIST. Similar to the Topology Table, a user can filter specific Flows, or Protocols. The list will adapt to those selections. This can be helpful when dealing with a large number of line items.

The Adaptors page is organized into the following functions:

Histograms View

At start-up, the page will be in Adaptors view and display 2 graphs in the Performance section:

Packets Ingress
Data Ingress

Users can select the Protocols and Roles they want listed on the left-hand side to filter Adaptors or return to "All" to see them all listed. Also, the Directions can be filtered (All, Ingress, or Egress).

Table View

In the upper right-hand corner, users can change to a Table view. This will provide users with a list, allowing for closer comparison between adaptors. The table can be configured to display in both Rates (pps) or Total Packets.

Similar to the Histograms View, users can group adaptors by protocol, role, and directions.
