SAP Throughput report

SAP Throughput report overview

The SAP Throughput report shows bandwidth utilization by specified services and SAPs. The default display is a set of time series graphs, showing ingress and egress.

The top five SAPs with the highest throughputs are shown in the report plots.

The summary table shows the minimum, average, and maximum SAP throughput values along with percentiles, for all the SAPs selected. The summary table displays the SAPs in descending order of average total throughput.

The report currently shows policers with stat mode “minimal” only.

If a percentile value from 1 to 99 is entered in the Percentile input, the selected percentile value of the data is shown in the table.

Note: The report may not complete if it is run on more than 400 000 SAPs.

For SR variants, 7705 SAR-Hm, and 7705 SAR-Hmc, the report supports QoS policies, virtual schedulers, queue overrides, policer overrides, and the egress aggregate rate limit.

For the 7210 SAS, the report supports QoS policies, queue/meter overrides, and the egress aggregate rate limit.

For the 7705 SAR, the report supports QoS policies and the egress aggregate rate limit.

Use cases

Capacity Planning—Use the report to examine traffic usage and patterns on a per service or per SAP basis, to plan for capacity requirements.

Prerequisites

The following items need to be performed in the NFM-P for SAP Throughput reports to be created:

• For raw data, the periodic counter must be enabled from the Periodic Counter Manager; see the NSP NFM-P Statistics Management Guide for information about creating and managing periodic accounting statistics calculations.

• The following table describes the aggregation rules that must be enabled and the file and accounting policies that must be configured for the NEs on which statistics are to be collected; see the NSP NFM-P Statistics Management Guide for information about configuring file and accounting policies. To view the report for granularities other than raw data, the aggregation rules must be enabled; see How do I configure analytics aggregation?.

Viewing collection statistics in the NFM-P GUI

For 7210 SAS and 7750 SR NEs, the statistics collected to create the SAP Throughput report can be viewed in the NFM-P GUI, from the SAP properties Statistics tab:

• For 7210 SAS NEs, the Service Ingress Octets and Service Egress Octets record types show the statistics with All Octets Forwarded, which are used for throughput calculations.

• For 7750 SR and 7705 SAR NEs, the Complete Service Ingress Packet Octets and Complete Service Egress Packet Octets record types show the statistics used for throughput calculations.

7210 SAS counter type

Reports are available for 7210 SAS NEs using both counter types. The throughput information is calculated based on the counter type configured at the time the report is taken. If multiple SAPs are selected for reporting, Analytics assumes that the counter type of all the selected SAPs can be same or different. Currently the sum of throughputs of multiple SAPs chosen would be plotted.

For more information about counter types, see the NE documentation.

Report characteristics

The following table lists the principal report characteristics.

	Ingress Threshold		Specify in bps/Kbps/Mbps/Gbps
	Egress Threshold
	Percentile		Identify a percentile of interest between 1 and 99.
	Logo Resource ID		The logo to add to the report. Enter the Resource ID of the logo image in the Images folder. The default is the Nokia logo. To create the report without a logo, leave the Logo Resource ID field blank.
	Logo Position		Choose Left, Middle, or Right. The logo appears on the left on the first page of the report if you choose Left or Middle.
	Show report output on one page		Select the check box to enable pagination. Note: Using the Show report output on one page option when creating reports as drill-downs may impact report rendering time. Nokia recommends disabling the Show report output on one page option when creating reports.
Drill-down support	No
