Ports and Interfaces Utilization Summary report

Ports and Interfaces Utilization Summary report overview

The Ports and Interfaces Utilization Summary report shows a summary of utilization information about network and/or access interfaces associated with existing termination objects (port, LAG, or bundle) for all possible modes (network, access, or hybrid).

Note: Either generate or schedule the reports for each region or subregion individually. These reports are for all ports, LAGs, bundles, Scada, channels, interface and SAPs in the network, resulting in a summary of millions of rows over thousands of pages.

Use cases

Capacity planning—Use the report to examine port and interface utilization patterns for planning future capacity requirements.

Limitations

Report limitations include:

When the report is exported to the ODT file type, the table is not properly aligned.
When the report is exported to the DOCX file type, an empty page displays.
Minimum and maximum throughput aggregation cannot be compared with the minimum and maximum throughput values generated from raw granularity.

Prerequisites

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?.

The report logic considers Transmit Bytes from IP Interface Additional statistics and Receive Bytes (Rx Bytes) from SAR IP statistics. Therefore, the impact of the SAR-H NEs on the report is that Tx Bytes is zero and total traffic is equal to Rx Bytes.

Report characteristics

The following table lists the principal report characteristics.

Table 11-27: Ports and Interfaces Utilization Summary report characteristics

Characteristic	Value
Data type	Statistics
Source database	Auxiliary database
Report inputs	Prompt	Notes
	End date	Calendar date or relative date (for example, two days ago) and time
	Report range	Length of time to be reported, in minutes (minutes, min), hours (hours, h), days (days, d), weeks (w), or months (months, m)
	Granularity	Aggregation types: None (raw data) Hourly Daily Weekly Monthly
	Region	Select a region
	Subregion	Only subregions below the top-level region are displayed in the prompt. Objects in the lower subregions are automatically selected when their subregion is selected.
	Percentile	Identify a percentile of interest between 1 and 99.
	KPI Threshold	Specify the KPI threshold value
	Threshold Value	Specify the threshold value
	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 threshold violations only	Select to see threshold violations only.
	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	Yes—Click on a KPI in a table cell to launch the Details report

Example

The following figures show report examples. The table below is a single table, but is separated due to its width.
