Bandwidth: Bandwidth Consumption

The Bandwidth Consumption report shows graphs for the bandwidth consumed by each link for one or more gateways over the specified time period. The report includes the consumption in MBytes, the top consumers from the list of specified gateways, and the rate of consumption for each day of the time period. Additional information is provided below the graphs including a breakdown of the consumption based on the client devices connected to that gateway. This level of detail includes the amount of data uploaded/downloaded, the number of clients, duration of usage, and the link(s) used to send/receive the data.

Note: ALEOS devices only provide WAN Link Tx Bytes (520) and WAN Link Rx Bytes (521) DELS events for cellular links so the Bandwidth Consumption report will not be meaningful for ALEOS Ethernet links.

Basic Configuration Fields

• Gateway(s)^*: by default this is set to the gateway(s) selected in the gateway tree. Enter the name(s) manually to modify this field. Click on Filter to open the subfilter options.
• Report time range^*: use the drop-down menu to select from Previous Months, Previous Weeks, Previous Days or Range. Enter the numeric value in the field. When Range is selected, use the calendar pop-up to select the dates. Alternatively, enter the date and time manually (yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm).
• Show graph in report output: when enabled, shows the graphs for the report. When disabled, only the row data is shown.
• Limit to Network types: filters the results to only show consumption from links which contain the specified text.
• Output Format: select HTML to generate the report in the browser window. Select Excel to display the generated report in Microsoft Excel. Note that the Excel option only works for reports which produce data in a table format.
• Save for later or schedule a run time: enable to create reports that can be saved for future use. See Saving and Scheduling a Report for a Later Run Time for more information.

Advanced Configuration Fields

• Discard units that did not report in time period: filters out all gateways from the report which did not report and therefore did not consume any bandwidth.
• Maximum bandwidth: specifies the maximum bandwidth that is supposed to be consumed. Any consumption over this amount is highlighted in the report.
