To reconfigure the System Monitor log settings to reduce the amount of data that is captured, Chad should retain the current counter, but set the sample rate to 60 seconds.
Key Takeaway: The Network Interface Bytes Total/Sec counter measures the total number of bytes that are sent and/or received from the network interface. This includes all network protocols. Less processor cycles are used when the sampling frequency is reduced. This is because a slower a counter is sampled.
