Stuck while creating a customized report.

Hello Everyone,

I am working on creating a custom report to meet user requirements. The organization has multiple WAN links provided by different vendors, each with various speeds such as 1 Gbps, 10 Gbps, 50 Mbps, 75 Mbps, and so on.

Scenario:
The users want a report that shows how many times the utilization threshold was reached or exceeded for each WAN interface during a given period (e.g., per hour or per day).

Example:
Let’s assume the organization has set 85% as the standard peak utilization threshold for all WAN interfaces. In the report, they want to see how many times within an hour or a day this 85% threshold was reached or exceeded by any specific WAN interface (i.e., the number of times the threshold was breached by any interface).

I’m here to seek your expert input in order to create the desired report that meets the customer’s requirements.

Thanks In Advance...

  • Hi, thinking that every time thresholds are breached, an event log is created. Can you count the event posts? That would be easiest I think

  • Hi  

    For this, if I’m not mistaken, I need to adjust the threshold for each individual interface node according to the requirements. After that, I would need to create a report based on the events.

    However, I believe there might be an easier way to accomplish this without manually adjusting each threshold. What are your thoughts?

    If all of you wan interfaces has Wan in their name of some other way to search for them, they can all be changed at once in "manage nodes" page.

    You can also count the nr of times in the database that you have a higher value than your threshold, but it it's high for some time you will get several hits even though it was one occasion. But a long one.

    So, depends on your needs. 

  • Hi  &  

    Changing thresholds, adjusting polling frequencies, or renaming is not an issue. After giving it considerable thought, I came up with an idea that might help me showcase a report that aligns with what the user is expecting.

    I was thinking of adjusting the interface warning threshold based on the user’s requirements. Then, I would set up an alert based on these new changes and create a report that counts the alerts. I believe this approach could help me achieve what the user is asking for.

    The user's main requirement is to know how many times a specific WAN threshold is reached within a day or an hour.

    I’m sharing this thought with you to gather your valuable feedback on it.

    Thank you for your understanding and kind response.
