Overview

In the new Perfstack (transmit percent utilization shows 1.7e+3% utilization, which exceeds the Y axis border and makes it invisible, total average bps is shown only as a dot and not updating during real-time polling):

The same metrics in Legacy perfstack (transmit percent utilization shows >100% utilization which exceeds Y axis border, total average bps is shown only as a dot and not updating during realtime polling):

In both legacy and new perfstack these metrics are displayed incorrectly during realtime polling. This is a bug in the product originating from a years-old legacy Perfstack backend, which is also used in newly migrated Perfstack (We’ve migrated the front end of the Perfstack using the same backend as the Legacy Perfstack.).
