Cisco Insight v2 Reporting provides a series of actions allowing users to run interactive reports, save and share report definitions, schedule recurring reports, view and customize a dashboard or share results.
It significantly enhances the application usability because users are gradually driven to their preferred reporting information. The wizard guides you through step-by-step procedure where all mandatory and optional parameters can be populated. You can run, schedule, or save your report.
This new approach has several benefits:
•It hides the complexity of the original template, structured as a list of report groups, each based on specific traffic tables.
•It reduces the redundancy of similar reports spread across the template.
•It creates a friendly interface for operators not having a deep knowledge of the SCE environment.
To access and display the report parameters, click the Report Wizard icon on the module launcher.

•Network
•Topic
•Date and Time
•Topology
•Services
•View
•Parameter
•Protocols
Network
This is the first and the mandatory tab. It shows the list of available networks that the operator is allowed to see and use for reporting.
If more than one network is available, the last chosen shall become the pre-selected network of the user, the next time a new report wizard is launched.
When you click the Network tab, you see:
Figure 6-1 Selecting Network
Topic
This is the second tab and it is also mandatory. In the Report wizard, the Topic tab allows the operator to select the desired type of traffic analysis.

When you click the Topic tab, you see:
Figure 6-2 Selecting Topic
Date and Time
This is the third tab and is an optional tab. It has some default settings (usually a time window of the last 24 hours, days or weeks, but this depends on the selected topic). You need to enter the details in the tab only if you want to set a different time interval.
To enter the details in the tab with a different time interval, uncheck the Show Last 24 hours check box. You can enter date and time by:
•Entering the date and hours manually or using the up and down arrow buttons.
•Clicking on the calendar dates.
For reports supporting a Start date or End date (based on SCE time stamps), you can select a timezone option to run the report by:
•Using the timezone of each SCE device, that is set as default.
•Choosing the Use device time zone option, to run the report using the time-zone of the master SCE.
When the format type is Start date or End date, the operator can also set the time aggregation from the Aggregation drop-down list.
When you click the Date & Time tab, you see:
Figure 6-3 Setting the Date and Time
Topology
This tab is optional and dynamic, because it is not always required. It shows the topology view of the selected networks.

Description
|
Upstream and downstream details on the same chart
|
Reports showing service series and supporting a filter on traffic direction, can display the information about the upstream component only, the downstream, or both directions.
When displaying bidirectional service series (when the traffic direction filter is set to "Both"), a flag allows expanding each service contribution into upstream and downstream components.
|
|
Drill-down reports
|
The application supports the drill-down feature on interactive charts. When focusing on a specific series, the operator can launch a new report based on the selected series and related to the source report.
This feature is used to navigate through different reports when performing some specific analysis.
Note Not all reports will support the drill-down option.
|
|
|
Data Marker
|
It provides an interactive data indicator that can be positioned on the plot to mark a specific position in terms of coordinates. The data indicator follows the series plot when moved on the chart- so when it is moved in the X-axis direction, the Y-axis positioning will follow the plot automatically and vice versa.
The indicator must have a display which provides information about its current location, for example, the relevant X and Y axis percentage value in the cumulative report.
Note When printing or exporting the chart, you can choose to display the indicator or not.
|
|
|
Chart zoom in/out
|
In interactive view you can zoom out interactively and define the level of zoom into the current report chart.
Note When printing or exporting a chart after the zoom operation has been used, the layout of the output reproduce what the operator sees on the screen (the information of the applied zoom level is not lost).
|
|
Chart types
|
A list of alternative chart types (bar, pie, and line) is displayed in the upper-right corner of the Report tab. You can choose any of the chart types before exporting or printing the report.
|
Leading Input
The tree controllers are present on the Report tab of the wizard as well. It displays the service tree of the services that appear in the chart and allows you to choose the level of detail based on the tree status.
You can perform operations on the chart such as print or export based on the current hierarchy status of the chart.
You can also define the hierarchy type and the depth of the tree when you define a scheduled report.
Cisco Insight v2 provides the ability to configure the number of items displayed in the initial group and the number of items displayed on each expansion of "other".
Figure 6-11 Tree Controllers
The Cisco Insight v2 describes a multi-graph view feature. It provides the ability to create reports that combine several different series into the same view.
The following time controller, associated with time-based charts and positioned under the time axis, can be an example:

Cisco Insight v2 has the time interval options (hourly, daily, weekly, total, and so on) for trend analysis reports.
The time controller introduced by Cisco Insight v2 that supports manual positioning of the sliding time window. Using the scroll buttons on the extreme corners of the time controller widget.
When the tab with the report chart is in focus, the toolbar can be used to perform the following operations (according to the capabilities of the connected operator):
•Scheduling a Report
•Saving a Report
•Exporting Report Output
Scheduling a Report
Reports can be run immediately or scheduled to be executed with a programmable delay or with a specific frequency. These reports can further be sent via email to a list of recipients (the Cisco Insight v2 must be configured to communicate with an SMTP server before using this feature).

Scheduled Reports
Cisco Insight v2 supports the ability to automatically run the several predefined reports each in a preconfigured time and interval. For example, an administrator needs to periodically share a set of reports with his or her managers or peers. The user (administrator) can define a list of users (managers) that will receive a notification on report batch completion and will have access to the report results as well.
Scheduled reports run in background and are designed to produce a static output that can be sent via email or stored on the file system of the server.
To access and display your saved reports, click the Scheduled Reports icon on the module launcher.
Using a scheduled report, you can perform following functions:
