Toplist tab

This tab displays with groups, gateways, and devices.

The Toplist tab displays the values returned by multiple devices for the same type of monitor. These values are continuously updated in real time. This enables you to compare the values and identify poor performing monitors. Because multiple devices are required for a toplist, only groups and gateways displays a Toplist tab. Toplists can also be included in reports.
