Bandwidth Throughput with Forecast report

Bandwidth Throughput with Forecast report overview

The Bandwidth Throughput with Forecast report shows bandwidth utilization by specified radio or Ethernet ports configured as a part of the link across the Wavence NEs with forecasting data. The default display is a set of time series graphs for Rx and Tx Throughput.

Note: The report generation takes approximately 49 to 50 s to complete.

Use cases

Capacity planning—Use the report to examine traffic usage and patterns based on the radio or Ethernet traffic in a network and to plan for capacity requirements.

Limitations

Minimum and maximum throughput aggregation cannot be compared with the minimum and maximum throughput values generated from raw granularity.

Prerequisites

The session time zone must match the aggregation time zone. When these two settings are different, the report does not run correctly and the system returns an error. See section How do I configure the Analytics session time zone? for more information about configuring the session time zone.

The following table describes the aggregation rules that must be enabled 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. To view the report for granularities other than raw data, the aggregation rules must be enabled; see How do I configure analytics aggregation?.

Report characteristics

Characteristic	Value
Data type	Statistics
NE types supported	Wavence MSS-1, Wavence MSS-4, Wavence MSS-8, Wavence MSS-O, Wavence MSS-E, Wavence MSS-HE, Wavence MSS-XE, Wavence MSS-1c, Wavence SA, Wavence UBT-SA, Wavence UBT-I, Wavence UBT-T XP, 9500 MPR-A Chassis 1, 9500 MPR-A Chassis 4, 9500 MPR-A Chassis 8, 9500 MPR-E Chassis 1, 9500 MPR-E Chassis 4, 9500 MPR-E Chassis 8, 9500 MSS-1c, 9500 MSS-O ANSI, 9500 MSS-O ETSI, 9500 SA
Report inputs	Prompt	Notes
	End date	Calendar date or relative date (for example, two days ago) and time
	Granularity	Aggregation types: Daily Monthly
	Report Range	Length of time to be reported, in minutes (minutes, min), hours (hours, h), days (days, d), or months (months, m)
	Name or name pattern for links	Enter the name pattern of the link
	Links	Select individual link
	Tx Threshold	Specify value (Mbps)
	Rx Threshold	Specify value (Mbps)
	Forecast periods	The range for the forecast to work. The value is based on the granularity selected. For example, a period of 30 would mean 30 days if the granularity is daily, and 30 months if the granularity is monthly.
	Periods per Season	The frequency at which there is a similarity in data. For example, the frequency at which a plot has similar values. The behavior is the same as the forecast period. For example, a period of 7 would mean 7 days if the granularity is daily, and 7 months if the granularity is monthly.
	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.
	Apply	Applies all the parameters and prepares the report based on the parameters entered
	Reset	Resets all the parameters to default value
Drill-down support	No
