This report displays the rate of inbound and outbound traffic that goes through the selected port or interface over time.

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

This report displays the rate of inbound and outbound traffic that goes through the selected port or interface over time.

Description:

The report shows the volume of traffic in bits that traverses the specified interface over time. Note that the traffic is measured in bits, not bytes.

Parameters:

Date/Time Selection: allows defining a time period for the report with relative or fixed dates

Business hours: Allows defining one business hours time range and the weekdays it applies to. If business hours are defined this report only reports within this range.

Histogram: Allows selecting the values used for the x-axis of the report.

-

Daily by hours

-

For the chosen time range the x-axis will be one day.

-

Every x-axis unit is an hour.

-

To be able to show this histogram the values for the same hour are averaged.

-

Weekly by weekdays

-

One week is the time range of the x-axis.

-

Every unit is a weekday.

-

Monthly by days

-

One month is the x-axis time range.

-

Every unit is a numeric day of the month

-

Yearly by month

-

A year is the time range of the x-axis.

-

Every unit is a month.

Default is no (which is a historical chart)

3D Chart: Allows choosing if the report is shown in a flat or a 3D image.

Units: Allows the operator to set the scale for the Y-axis:

-

Bits per second (bps)

-

Kilobits per second (kbps)

-

Megabits per second (Mbps)

-

Gigabits per second (Gbps)

Object List:

This report expects objects of type Port and/or Interface.

It is also possible to use the "Add Group" button and provide a group or a network device. The report will then display the average value for all objects in the group or from the network device.
