QuickView and Snapshot Reports

The QuickView report provides the network management staff with detailed information on key metrics for individual interfaces with the highest GOS scores.

The Snapshot report provides the same information as the QuickView report for individual interfaces that you select from a pick list for inclusion in the report. For more information about selecting a interface for a Snapshot report, see

“Selecting

Deferred Targets or Elements for a Snapshot Report” on page 1-27 .

QuickView

The QuickView report comprises the following components: u The Daily Grade of Service stacked bar chart shows the GOS scores for the selected interfaces. The chart shows weighted values for the metrics for the report day. For LAN interfaces, the metrics are as follows: Utilization, Errors, and Discards. For WAN interfaces, the metrics are as follows: Input Utilization, Output Utilization, Total Percent Errors, and Total Percent Discards. For a description of how GOS is calculated for LAN and WAN interfaces, see

Table 5-4 and Table 5-5 respectively.

Double click on an interface in the chart update the following components with performance data for the selected interface: u (LAN only) The Hourly Volume bar chart shows the volume of data flow for each sample period of the report day for the selected LAN interface.

An overlay line graph shows the volume computed for each hour of the over the baseline period, so you can compare the volume shown for the report day with the baseline.

u (LAN only) The Distribution of Bandwidth Utilization pie chart shows the percentage utilization values that fall within the defined utilization buckets for the selected LAN interface for the report day.
