Interface Utilization Summary (NSP) report
Interface Utilization Summary (NSP) report overview
The Interface Utilization Summary (NSP) report includes utilization data for NEs managed by the NFM-P only or by the MDM (model-driven Nokia) only. The Interface Utilization Summary report provides a summary of utilization data for a selected group of interfaces.
Note: The Interface Utilization Summary report is based on different statistics from the Interface Overview report. The utilization values shown in the two report types will be different.
The default display is a set of graphs and a table showing ingress and egress speeds and minimum, maximum and average utilization percentages. Utilization results in the table are colored red when utilization reaches or exceeds user-defined thresholds.
Utilization calculation varies by interface type:
Limitations
Report limitations include:
-
Running the report for all Interface Types or using the Show Report On One Page option may impact report rendering time. Nokia recommends running the report only for the required interface type, and disabling pagination unless required.
-
When five or fewer SAPs are selected and the data is available in the database for either ingress or egress (but not both), the legend of other graphs display, but not the plot.
-
When the report is exported to the RTF file type, the report may not export or display properly.
-
Minimum and maximum throughput aggregation cannot be compared with the minimum and maximum throughput values generated from raw granularity.
Use cases
Capacity planning—Use the report to examine interface utilization patterns for planning future capacity requirements.
Prerequisites
To view the report for granularities other than raw data, the aggregation rules must be enabled; see How do I configure analytics aggregation?. Enable aggregation and configure telemetry subscriptions; see the Telemetry information on the Network Developer Portal and the NSP Data Collection and Analysis Guide.
The following table describes the aggregation rules and the 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 an accounting policy.
