Create Interface Utilization Report by Vendor

girlinsolarwinds

Hi Team,

I am working on creating an Interface Utilization report in SolarWinds with a specific requirement.

I need the report to include only devices from a particular vendor (for example, Cisco), and the output should display the following details:

• Vendor
• Device Name
• Interface Name (only enabled interfaces)
• Interface Utilization (In/Out traffic)

I was not able to find a direct option in the report builder to filter devices based on vendor and include only active interfaces.

Could you please help with:

• How to filter the report by vendor (e.g., Cisco only)?
• How to ensure only enabled interfaces are included in the report?
• Whether this can be achieved using built-in report customization or if a custom SWQL/SQL query is required?

Any guidance or sample query would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

a { text-decoration: none; color: #464feb;}tr th, tr td { border: 1px solid #e6e6e6;}tr th { background-color: #f5f5f5;}You can use Interface as the entity and Cisco as the vendor filter. This will ensure that only Cisco devices are included in the report.

You can select Caption from the Node entity and the remaining required fields from the Interface entity. Since the vendor filter (for example, Cisco) is already applied at the filter level, including the Vendor field in the report output is optional.

Hope this will help you
