Hi Joe,
I assume you are talking about the "type=topConnections" option? You
want top connections by bytes?
The applet parameter for this is "resultSort=bytes", but the MultiChart
servlet does not detect and pass this parameter through to the applets
(yet).
The solution is therefore as follows:
1. Use MultiChart to get the topConnections chart layout that you want.
2. Save the html page to disk.
3. Edit the page to add the following line near the top:
<base href="http://www.inmon.com/its/query/"></base>
(substitute your own server for www.inmon.com here).
4. For each of the applets, you will see a line:
<param name="type" value="topConnections">
Just below it, add a new line:
<param name="resultSort" value="bytes">
5. Point your browser at this file.
regards,
neil
