Traffic Activities statistics are not updated automatically
Traffic Activities statistics are not updated automatically
Good day.
There is a problem with the auto-update of the "Traffic Activities" statistics.
I have Global View -> Settings -> UI Interaction -> Refresh Interval: 1 min.
I can visually see that the page is updated every minute. But the Traffic Activities statistics graph is not updated. Also, if you manually press the refresh button on the controller in the upper right corner, Traffic Activities is not updated:
The Traffic Activities graph is updated only if you forcefully press "refresh page" (F5) in the browser itself.

Hi @Vincent-TP
I see, thanks for the clarification.
Is it planned to create a graph that will display client traffic specifically "Wi-Fi client <-> Internet"?

Both are tracking the same wireless aggregate data, frankly speaking, creating a duplicate table would indeed be redundant.

@Vincent-TP Please allow refresh interval to be 5 seconds.

The device reporting interval to the controller involves data collection, processing, and transmission latency.
Could you share your specific use case requiring such high-frequency reporting? This will help us evaluate potential optimizations.

Maybe then it makes sense to make a choice of the traffic mode in the controller settings:
1. relative to Wi-Fi points;
2. relative to Wi-Fi clients.
This would be a solution to the problem. Whoever chooses the graph display as is convenient for them.

Hi @KSab
That's a good idea. Thanks for your feedback. I will forward it to the relevant team.
Feel free to let us know of any other feature requests you may have, we’d be happy to send them up for you.

Hi @Vincent-TP
Please tell me when approximately we can expect this idea to be implemented?

Not wanting to be a pedantic person here but....
Does anyone actually care about the traffic to and from the EAP unit itself? EAPs serve wireless clients and have no other function. I think the data should be represented the other way around, from my point of view i care about how much data that EAP has sent to or recieved from clients from the connected devices perspective.
Its the same with hovering over a WAN port on a gateway - from my perspective the TX/RX is backwards as I care about things from the network side perspective. Switch ports however, should stay as they are as those are obviously directional based on what they are connected to - thats fine, thats all internal stuff.

Hi @KSab
This change is still under consideration and will not be implemented in the short term. We recommend adapting to the current mechanism for now.

I understand your perspective. Since this data essentially represents client information, people use it to understand client traffic patterns.
The current statistics are specifically collected for EAPs and gateways, which then report them to the controller.
Even if we were to develop a separate feature displaying the total traffic of wireless clients connected to a specific EAP, it would still rely on the same mechanism: the EAP aggregating and reporting the data. This approach wouldn’t differ significantly from the existing system. Thanks for your understanding~
