This chapter describes the Cisco StrataView Plus (SV+) New Reports application. This application provides key connection and trunk performance reports. The Cisco SV+ New Reports application is invoked when you click on the New Reports button in the SV+ Desktop window.
The current WingZ based Report application provides a very complex and flexible interface allowing you to select and manipulate a large number of statistic types. The Cisco SV+ New Reports 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 Cisco SV+ 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 Cisco SV+ SCM. To generate a report, you must select the appropriate statistic type. No restrictions exist on the bucket interval setting, when the bucket interval changes within the report plot period, the New Reports application makes an adjustment to normalize the data according to the plot interval. The Cisco SV+ New Reports application issues an error when a bucket interval change is detected within the plot period.
The following Cisco SV+ New Reports are available:
The Report Application window, shown in Figure 10-1, is displayed when you click on the New Reports button in the SV+ Desktop window. This window is used to display statistical and graphical data for the selected report type.
You must first 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 Window" for a description of this window's components.
When you select any of the Performance Data menu's options, a list of report filter options are available through the Connection Traffic Summary, Connection Traffic Dropped, or Trunk 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.
You 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 you 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.
You select this option to select the printer or file name. When you select file name, a postscript image is saved to the /usr/users/svplus/report/<file_name>.ps file, where <file_name> is the name of the file you specified. When multiple graphs or tables are displayed on the screen, all graphs or tables are saved in the same file.
You select this option to terminate the Report Application. The Report Application window is closed.
You select this option to display basic node information for all nodes in the network in the Network Report window. This report provides you a view of the resources being utilized at every node in the network. See "Network Report Window" for a detailed description of this window's components.
You select this option to specify the connection to be plotted and the plot duration through the Connection Traffic Summary window. See "Connection 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, 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. See Figure 10-4 for a sample Report Application window displaying Connection Traffic Summary data.
You 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. The format of this window is similar to the sample shown in Figure 10-4.
You 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 AXIS feeder trunks, only the routing node end of the trunks are supported as the AXIS end-point does not support the required statistic types. The format of this window is similar to the sample shown in Figure 10-4.
This pane is used to display statistical and graphical data, as well as status and error messages.
The Network Report window, shown in Figure 10-2, is displayed when you select the Resource Capacity menu's Network Report option in the 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, AXIS, IPX, IGX, or other). The second graph displays the CIR distribution in the network.
The Connection Traffic Summary window, shown in Figure 10-3, is displayed when you select the Performance Data menu's Connection Traffic Summary option in the Report Application window. You must select a PVC and plotting time interval, then click on the Plot button to have the statistical information pertaining to connection traffic, plotted into graphs for both ends of the connection and displayed in the Report Application window.
The statistic types used to plot this report are based on the end-point type of the connection. Table 10-1 describes the statistic types needed. The Report Application retrieves all instances (within the plot period) of the statistic types from the database and calculates the following:
The following conversions are used to convert to bits per second:
| End-point Type | Percentage of Bytes Received (Stats ID) | Percentage of Bytes Transmitted (Stats ID) | Percentage of Time in Service (Stats ID) |
|---|---|---|---|
FR | Bytes received (9) | Bytes transmitted (11) | Seconds In Service (16) |
ASI - ATM | Cells received Port (29) | Cells transmitted Port(45) | Not Applicable |
AUSM -ATM | Total cells received (68) | Total cells transmitted (61) | Seconds In Service (16) |
