Reports: SV+ Statistics

Raw Data Reports

The Raw Data Report menu presents the Raw Data Report window, which provides options to enable customization of your reports. By using the Raw Data Reports function, you can generate reports for Connections, Service Lines, Trunks, and Ports. Once you select one of these objects types in the Raw Data Report form, associated parameter fields appear on the form.

You use the same procedure to configure any type of Raw Data Report.

Step 1 Select a node.

Step 2 Select an object and a subset.

Step 3 See if stats are currently enabled for the selected object.

Step 4 Define the type of information to include in your statistics.

Step 5 Select a bucket interval value to match that used to enable statistics.

Step 6 Select one of the data type values.

Step 7 Select a time input value.

Step 8 Select Plot

Figure 6-2 : Raw Data Report Configuration

Time Input Type	Description
Start & End	Use this parameter to define statistics spanning a starting date and time to an ending date and time.
Start + Period	Use this parameter to define statistics beginning at a starting date and time and spanning a specified period or minutes (m), days (d), and/or hours(h). Example: To indicate a single value for one day and two hours and 10 minutes, type 1d 2h 10m.
Period to Current (default)	Use this parameter to define statistics from the present backwards, within values of minutes (m), hours (h), or days (d). Type the number of m, h, or d into the Report Period field. Example: To indicate a value for 24 hours, type 24 h.

Step 9 After you define a time value, select an object name in the Objects Available field. This results in presentation of the selected statistics in the Report Data field.

Step 10 Click the Plot button to start the query. A Querying database dialog window appears for each statistic retrieved during the search process. If no statistics are found, the dialog window reports "No data available." If statistics are enabled and collected, a Select Graph type box is presented.

IPX Data Reports

The following paragraphs describe how to display IPX data reports for three types of defined IPX Network objects: connections, circuit lines, and packet lines. The IPX Data Report menu provides preconfigured histograms including TOD reports.

The IPX Data Report option provides five types of reports. These are listed in Table 6-1. The right hand column, Bucket Type Enable Required, shows the bucket type that has to be enabled in order to get the listed type of report. For example, to collect 1 minute [10 (1 min)] and 10 minute [6 (10 min)] reports, the 1 minute and 10 minute buckets, respectively, must have been enabled for the selected statistic.

The first four types, which are sometimes referred to as history reports, show either an accumulated total for the indicated interval or a percentage depending on the statistic type. The fifth type, referred to as a TOD report, spans the 24 hours in a day and shows either the highest total quantity or highest percentage to date for each hour of the day. It also shows the highest peak to date (usually, minute peak) for each hour of the day

1 (10 min)	1 min	10 min	total quantity or percentage	1 min
Time of Day Report Types
TOD	1 hr	24 hrs	average and peak quantities or percentage that has occurred over an interval of N days.	60 min

Wingz Printing of the IPX Data Report

A displayed IPX Data Report can be printed from Wingz by first clicking on the File pull-down menu at the far left of the SV+ Statistics Menu Bar, and then selecting either the Page Preview or Print commands from the displayed pull-down menu.

Statistics Selections Required for IPX Data Reports

The percentage statistics are a measure of the ratio of occurrence of a value over time compared to the maximum quantity that could occur. For example, if a modem was on an average of 12 minutes in each hour, then its percentage activity would be: 12/60 x 100% = 20%. The statistics interval must be the same as the report interval selected (see Reports table beginning on next page).

¹ Most circuit line and trunk reports have the same name as the selected statistics. The statistics listed in this table are the exception to the rule.

Ensure that the bucket interval matches the granularity of the data report. For example, a 60-minute % activity report requires that "packets transmitted" be enabled for 60-minute buckets. The minimum bucket interval for frame relay statistics is 5 minutes.

Add Comment to Object

Select the Add Comment to Object option from the Statistics pull-down menu to present the Add Comment screen. An object-specific comment you type and apply in this screen is linked to the object for database applications. The comment is not displayed by StrataView Plus.

This menu presents the Add Comment window.

Figure 6-12 : Statistics - Add Comment to Object Menu

After you press apply, a confirmation dialog appears. Press OK to finish the Add Comment operation.

Remove Non-Active Nodes

Select the Remove Non-Active Nodes option from the Statistics pull-down menu to display the Remove Node Menu. In the Target Node box, select the nodes you want to delete, then click on the Apply button. If there are no non-active nodes, a dialog box displays the message "No non-active node is defined in the database".

Statistics - Remove Non-Active Nodes Menu

This menu presents the Remove Node dialog boxes. Select a node from the Target Node list and click the apply button to delete a node. If all nodes are active, an information dialog appears. Active nodes cannot be removed from the system with this operation.

Figure 6-13 : Statistics: Removing Nodes

Initialize

Reset the Statistics pulldown window by clicking on the Initialize option.

Delete Statistical Records

Use this function (delstrecs) to delete statistical records associated with an object database that no longer exists.

To start a delete statistics operation, type delstrecs on the StrataView Plus console command line. You are asked to indicate a retention period in days. Records older than the specified number of days will be deleted. More recent records will be retained.

To delete all records not associated with an active object, and to delete all unmatched records regardless of age, type a zero (0) when prompted for retention period. You should perform this operation periodically to clean out the statistics database.
