Parameter

Description

Select Device(s) / Select Container(s)

Select a container or a device. You can use the CTRL and SHIFT keys to select multiple items.

Device Name Filter / Test Name Filter

Enter a specific device name or test name or regular expression (for example, nyc_router*. This displays all devices with nyc_router in the device name).

Select Test Type/SubType(s)

Select a test type. You can use the CTRL and SHIFT keys to select multiple items.

Number of Items

Use the drop-down menu to select either the Top (best) or Bottom (worst) 10, 25, or 50 performing tests.

Duration

Select a date range from the drop-down menu. Selecting Custom requires you to specify a fixed date/time range.

Schedule

Limits the data included in the report to the schedule selected.

Customize Report

Select one of the following report type (customization) options:

• Historical Graphs
• Statistics
• Trend Analysis

The Graph option includes the following optional customizations:

Note: Make sure you select Graph to see these options.

• Plot Similar Tests on Single Graph - Tests of the same type display in only one graph. When you select this option, you can select one of the following options:
  • All Selected Tests vs Complementary Tests Only
  • Shown As Individual Lines: Shows separate lines (representing historical performance results) for each test
  • Revert Counter Part: Allows you to plot the matching pair of "in" and "out", or "sent" and "received" tests (for example, network traffic or disk I/O tests) on opposite axis. So, if Traverse plots data for "in" tests on the positive axis, it will plot "out" tests on the negative axis.
  • Shown As Sum: Plots a graph by adding the data points for matching tests.
  • Shown As Average: Dynamically calculates the average value for matching tests and plots the result on the report.
• Group Statistics with Graph
• Use Same Scale for Similar Tests
• N Graphs on Each Row
• Sort Order - Device Name, Test Name, Test Value, None - Ascending or Descending.

The same graphical scale is used if the tests are the same type.
