We really need a way to display a chart of interface utilization diaplying by day for the last xx days filtered by a limited set of hours. Specifically, we want a M-F 8-5 chart of interface usage broken down by day of week.
jspanitz,
The best way to do this would be to take an existing report and modify it. For example take the reports under Historical Traffic Reports, for example "Average and Peak Traffic Rates - Last 7 Days". While in Design Mode, go to the Filter Results tab. Add in the following elementary conditions:
"Day of Week" is greater than or equal to "Monday"
"Day of Week" is less than or equal to "Friday"
"Time of Day [24 hour format]" is greater than or equal to "0800"
"Time of Day [24 hour format]" is less than or equal to "1700"
Keep in mind, you need to keep this report under your daily rollup time-ie, if you roll hourly data up into daily data after 30 days, the report will not have for you after 30 days.
steve,
I appreciate the advice, however we don't want a report since the report writer engine is Jurassic Park text only. We want a George Jetson chart :P
John
That's a great and easy advice thanks for sharing.

D'oh. End of the day on a friday and my reading comprehension takes a hit.
You're right, there's no way to do this right now that I can see. PMs-I think this should be more appropriately called a feature request-even if it there's a backdoor way to do it, it should still be more accessible.
