This chapter describes the Cisco WAN Manager (CWM) Summary Report application and the Wingz Report application. The CWM Summary Report application is invoked by selecting the Summary Report option from the Applications pull-down of the CWM main window. The Wingz Report application is invoked by selecting the Wingz Report option from the Applications pull-down of the CWM main window.
The current WingZ based Report application provides a very complex and flexible interface allowing the user to select and manipulate a large number of statistic types. The CWM Summary Report application is designed to provide easy access to basic performance reports. Once you select the report type, object instance, and plot duration, the report data is retrieved from the CWM Statistics Collection Manager (SCM), and is plotted within the respective Report Application window.
The Performance Data reports are based on historical statistics collected by the CWM SCM. To generate a report, you must select the appropriate statistic type. No restrictions exist on the bucket interval setting for Summary Reports. When the bucket interval changes within the report plot period, the Summary Report application makes an adjustment to normalize the data according to the plot interval. The CWM Summary Report application issues an error when a bucket interval change is detected within the plot period.
 |
Note Restrictions exist on the bucket interval setting for Wingz Reports. The bucket interval must match the bucket interval set in SCM. |
The following CWM Summary Reports are available:
The Summary Report application window, shown in Figure 9-1, is displayed by selecting the Summary Report option from the Applications pull-down of the CWM main window. This window is used to display statistical and graphical data for the selected report type.
Select a report type option from either the Resource Capacity or Performance Data menus. When you select the Resource Capacity menu's Network Report option, a statistical and graphical view of the resources being utilized at every node in the network is displayed in the Result pane in this window. See "Network Report" for a description of this window's components.
Select any of the Performance Data menu's options for a list of report filters available through Connection - Connection Traffic Summary, Connection - Connection Traffic Dropped, Trunk - Trunk Traffic, or Port - Port Traffic Summary windows, respectively. You must first select the desired report filter options in these windows, then click on the Plot button. The statistical and graphical data is then displayed in the Report Application window. Note, unlike the WingZ application, only one report may be displayed at a time.
Once a report is displayed in the Result pane, you may print it or save it in an ASCII file.
Select this option to save the data used to plot the graph into a CSF (Comma Separated Format) file you specify. When multiple graphs are displayed, each graph is saved in a separate file. A unique file name is created by appending a number to the file name specified. The graphs are numbered left to right. Each file has a ".csf" extension and the files are saved in the /usr/users/svplus/report directory.
Select this option to choose a printer or file name. Select file name, and a postscript image is saved to the /usr/users/svplus/report/<file_name>.ps file, where <file_name> is the name of the file specified. When multiple graphs or tables are displayed on the screen, all graphs or tables are saved in the same file.
Select this option to terminate the Report Application. The Report Application window is closed.
Select this option to display basic node information for all nodes in the network in the Network Report window. This report provides a view of the resources being utilized at every node in the network. See "Network Report" for a detailed description of this window's components.
Select this option to display the top utilized trunks, ports, or connections for the entire network or a specified node. See "Top Utilization Reports" for a detailed description of this window's components.
Select this option to specify the connection to be plotted and the plot duration through the Connection Traffic Summary window. See "Connection Traffic Summary" for a detailed description of this window's components.
Upon specifying the desired report options and clicking on the Plot button, the total traffic transmitted and received, as well as, the availability for a selected PVC are displayed in the Report Application window. Data for both ends of the connection are plotted side by side in this window.
Select this option to specify the connection to be plotted and the plot duration through the Connection Traffic Dropped window. See "Connection Traffic Dropped Window" for a detailed description of this window's components.
Upon specifying the desired report options and clicking on the Plot button, the totals of the dropped traffic for a selected PVC are displayed in the Report Application window. Data for both ends of the connection are plotted side by side in this window.
Select this option to specify the trunk to be plotted and the plot duration through the Trunk Traffic Summary window. See "Trunk Traffic Summary Window" for a detailed description of this window's components.
Upon specifying the desired report options and clicking on the Plot button, the total traffic transmitted and received and the unavailability for a selected trunk are displayed in the Report Application window. Data for both ends of the trunk are plotted side by side. Note, for MGX 8220 feeder trunks, only the routing node end of the trunks are supported as the MGX 8220 end-point does not support the required statistic types.
Select this option to specify the port to be plotted and the plot duration through the Port Traffic Summary window. See "Port Traffic Summary Window" for a detailed description of this window's components.
Upon specifying the desired report options and clicking on the Plot button, the total traffic transmitted and received and the unavailability for a selected port are displayed in the Report Application window. Data for both ends of the port are plotted side by side. Note, for MGX 8220 feeder trunks, only the routing node end of the trunks are supported as the MGX 8220 end-point does not support the required statistic types.
This pane is used to display statistical and graphical data, as well as status and error messages.
The Network Report window is displayed when you select the Resource Capacity menu's Network Report option in the Summary Report application window. This report provides you a view of the resources being utilized at every node in the network.
This is a two part report. The report's top half displays statistical information in tabular format for each node in the network. The following information is listed for each node:
The report's bottom portion displays two graphs. The first graph is a pie chart displaying the break-down by node type (BPX 8600, MGX 8220, MGX 8800, IGX 8400, or other). The second graph displays the CIR distribution in the network.
The Top Utilization Reports is displayed when you select the Resource Capacity menu's Top Utilization Reports option in the Report Application window. The Top Utilization Reports lists as the top 10 (or as many as you select with a maximum of 50) utilized trunks, ports, or PVCs depending on which object is selected. The user can specify a network wide report or a report for a given node. The user also can specify the number of top utilized objects. In addition, if the user specifies a report for a given node, then the node must be specified.
After the report is generated, a bar graph is displayed giving the respective utilization of each port, trunk, or PVC.
When you select to list the Top Utilized Trunks, the report application retrieves the required statistics and performs the following calculations for each trunk:
| Trunk Type | Percentage of Cells Received (Stats ID) | Percentage of Cells Received (Stats ID) |
|---|---|---|
Narrow Band | Not Applicable | Total packets transmitted (23) |
IGX 8400-ATM | Total cells received (38) | Total cells transmitted (37) |
BPX 8600-ATM | Total cells received from line (68) | Total cells transmitted to line (61) |
