Using Dashboard Histograms
Dashboard histograms are a visual representation of the distribution of the wireless clients, access points, and radios
across different performance parameters in the controller. Histograms help you to quickly identify any performance
issues in the network from the color of the distribution. For example, critical ranges of the distribution are
highlighted in red and the normal ranges are highlighted in green.
You can view the number of clients or APs falling in each range of the distribution with a hyperlink. You can also
perform the following tasks on the histograms to get additional information on the clients and APs in the
distribution:

window.
l Sort: Click a column header of the clients or APs table to sort the complete list based on the entries on the
