EPORTING
■
Use top N reports to determine and report on the most active objects
on your network. Here, N is a number between 1 and 50 that you can
choose for each report.
The different types of report are detailed in
Chapter 12
.
Report Instances
You can set up reports for your specific needs. To set up a report, you add
an
instance
of a selected report type, specifying which objects to report
on. For example, you might set up a top N report on the top 10 devices in
Europe. You can then schedule the report to be run daily, weekly or
monthly. Alternatively, you could generate an
ad hoc
report when you
require one.
When a report is run, either by Traffix Manager at a scheduled time, or
ad
hoc
, raw data is generated. You can output or view raw report data as
many times as you require, without having to regenerate the report.
Output
Traffix Manager uses the raw data to output professional reports as hard
copy to a printer on the server, as HTML files, or as Comma Separated
Value (CSV) files. CSV files can be read into a spreadsheet or database
application for further analysis.
See
“Setting Output Options”
on
page 95
for more detail.
Periods Covered by
Reports
There are three standard report periods: daily, weekly and monthly.
Daily Reports
These reports use all data collected on the specified day (from 00:00 to
24:00) and are generated in the early hours of the following morning.
For example, if you select Friday (
Figure 14
), the report is generated early
on Saturday morning.
