> # Real-Time Performance Monitoring

> Device Manager provides an easy tool for monitoring ports on the Cisco MDS 9000 Family switches. This tool gathers statistics at a configurable interval and displays the results in tables or charts. These statistics show the performance of the selected port in real-time and can be used for performance monitoring and troubleshooting. For a selected port, you can monitor any of a number of statistics including traffic in and out, errors, class 2 traffic, and FICON data. You can set the polling interval from ten seconds to one hour, and display the results based on a number of selectable options including absolute value, value per second, and minimum or maximum value per second.

> Device Manager checking for oversubscription on the host-optimized four-port groups on relevant modules. Right-click the port group on a module and choose Check Oversubscription from the pop-up menu.

> Device manager provides two performance views: the Summary View tab and the configurable monitor option per port.
