Report on Internet Routers Traffic

martian_monster

I thought this would be easy but sometimes reporting can be interesting.

Initially I was going to edit Average and Peak Traffic - Last Month to just our Internet routers but cannot figure out to scope this down to just a specific set of routers.

I created a Group for the routers and that did not work. Then I did a test group of a few interfaces and that did not work.

Ideally if there is an article on how to do this that would be great. I also tried tossing this question into AI and wow was it waaay wrong.

Thanks!

Hi @martian_monster

Yes, groups are not that good when filtering out nodes for reports or alerts. Best approach is to have some custom properties value to filter on. That works better. Either that or a part of the interfaces names.

Could be a CP on the interface (easiest) or on the node IF you can also filter out the interface on each node. Say: Node.CP.something='ReportRouters' AND Node.interface.caption LIKE '%WAN%'

But Custom properties is the best approach here ;-)
