Collapse and Expand the Traffic Tree

The manage and monitor tabs display a traffic tree on the left side of the window. Packeteer offers you a few ways to control which classes display on the traffic tree. If the tree has many classes, you may want to collapse parts of the tree so that you can focus on a single branch of the tree (such as Inbound, Outbound, or a particular folder).

Note: To perform this task from PolicyCenter, you must first select a configuration from the Editing Configuration drop-down list at the top of the page.

Collapse the Tree

To collapse the Inbound and Outbound branches of the tree, click the Collapse All icon.

To collapse a branch of the tree, use one of the following techniques:

• Click the Collapse Inbound or Collapse Outbound icons.
• Click the - to the left of the folder you want to collapse.  show screen

Expand the Tree

To expand the entire traffic tree, click the Expand All icon.

To expand a branch of the tree, use one of the following techniques:

• Click the Expand Inbound or Expand Outbound icons.
• Click the + to the left of the folder you want to expand.  show screen

Set the Tree Depth

The Tree Depth field ( show screen) allows you to specify the number of class levels to be displayed in the traffic tree. For instance, with a tree depth of 1, the tree will display Inbound and Outbound and the first level of classes and folders under Inbound and Outbound. To set the level, select the number (1-8) from the Tree Depth drop-down list. The off setting expands the entire tree.

Regardless of the tree depth you have set, you can still manually collapse and expand individual branches of the tree.

Note that the Tree Depth value is retained within and between user sessions.

Large Traffic Trees

If you have more than 2000 classes in your configuration, PacketWise does not display a traffic tree in the manage tab. Instead of the tree, the left window pane displays a scrollable list of all the classes on your unit. To narrow down this list:

1. Type the name of the link, folder, or class in the field Display only class names containing.
2. Click limit view. The list now displays only the classes that contain the name you entered.

To display the entire list after limiting the view, click display all.
