Router Level Usage Summary with Baseline report

Router Level Usage Summary with Baseline report overview

The Router Level Usage Summary with Baseline report shows a router-level summary of the traffic rate and volume for a specified time period. The current results are displayed along with baseline values. See Baselining in Analytics reports for more information about how baselines are defined.

The default display is a series of line graphs showing throughput, and a series of bar charts showing volume.

For the first three line graphs, showing bandwidth per router, the baseline for one selected router is shown. For the charts showing volume by application group, one baseline per application group is shown. A small number of application groups improves report legibility.

Use cases

Capacity planning—Use the report to examine deviations from past traffic and usage patterns to identify anomalies that may require intervention.

Report characteristics

The following table lists the principal report characteristics.

Table 8-9: Router Level Usage Summary with Baseline report characteristics

Characteristic	Value
Statistics type	AA Accounting per partition application group
NSP Flow Collector required	No
Report inputs	Prompt	Notes
	End date	Calendar date or relative date (for example, two days ago) and time
	Granularity	Aggregation types: Hourly Daily Monthly None (raw data)
	Report range	Length of time to be reported, in minutes (minutes, min), hours (hours, h), days (days, d), weeks (w), or months (months, m)
	Node Type	Search using partial names or wildcard (%). Select individual items or click Select All.
	Node
	Application Group
	Enable Baseline	Select the check box to include baseline data in the report.
	Baseline End Date	Calendar date or relative date (for example, two days ago) and time
	Baseline Report Range	Length of time to calculate the baseline, in minutes, hours, days, or months A longer baseline range will improve baseline accuracy.
	Baseline Definition	Select a definition to calculate the baseline. For example, “hour of day” means that current data is compared against the baseline calculated from the historical data from the same hour within the baseline time frame.
	Baseline Node for Throughput	Select one NE to use as an example for baseline data in throughput graphs.
	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.
Drill-down support	No
