I have to generate a report that lists the average and peak percent utilization of WAN links over the past month. Before, I was doing it the manual way so I had an excel sheet like below and I would get the values by generating a percent utilization chart and reading off the peak. So the first problem I have is getting the average percent utilization over a time period because I don't see an actual value for this in Solarwinds. Location Link Peak (%) A MPLS 30 B METRO 40 B MPLS 40 I'm now trying to generate it with a report but I have the following problems: The link names are not present in the table (G0/0/1 on abc-mpls-router) There is no average or peak tx/rx percent utilization columns. I tried using average bps, peak tx/rx bps and the table lists way more rows than the number of links I'm reporting on. How do I go about getting the results I'm looking for? Let me know If I have to provide more info.

Problems with average/peak utilization

I have to generate a report that lists the average and peak percent utilization of WAN links over the past month.

Before, I was doing it the manual way so I had an excel sheet like below and I would get the values by generating a percent utilization chart and reading off the peak. So the first problem I have is getting the average percent utilization over a time period because I don't see an actual value for this in Solarwinds.

Location	Link	Peak (%)
A	MPLS	30
B	METRO	40
B	MPLS	40

I'm now trying to generate it with a report but I have the following problems:

The link names are not present in the table (G0/0/1 on abc-mpls-router)
There is no average or peak tx/rx percent utilization columns.
I tried using average bps, peak tx/rx bps and the table lists way more rows than the number of links I'm reporting on.

How do I go about getting the results I'm looking for? Let me know If I have to provide more info.
