Historical Monitoring Tasks Page

Historical monitoring tasks collect data for historical monitoring reports.

Use this page to:

•View historical monitoring reports.

•View, create, edit, delete, and stop historical monitoring tasks.

•Export collected data from tasks.

To open this page, select Reports > Analysis.

When the historical QoS analysis data collected by QPM reaches the configured disk space limit, the following happens:

•All running monitoring tasks are stopped automatically, and are set to the status Stopped due to out of disk space.

•The next time you open the Historical Monitoring Tasks page, a message notifies you that the disk space limit was reached and provides recover instructions.

This message only appears on the Historical Monitoring Tasks page. You will not receive notification that the disk space limit was reached until you open this page.

All data collected before the tasks were stopped is available for display in reports. To free the necessary disk space and continue monitoring, you must delete the stopped tasks and run the database rebuild utility. Then you can recreate the deleted tasks to resume running them.

For instructions for recovering from running out of analysis disk space, see Freeing Disk Space for QoS Analysis, page 9-18.

Historical Reports Pages

The following pages are accessible by launching a historical monitoring report:

•Policies Graphs: Matching and Dropped Traffic for Policies Page

•Filters Graphs: Matching Traffic for Filter Conditions Page

•Actions Graphs: Policy Actions on Matching Traffic Page

The historical policy analysis graphs do not show the effect of traffic dropping for reasons other than QoS policy actions, such as dropping because of full queues.

Therefore, it is possible that the traffic volume shown for an interface will be greater than the capacity of the interface. In this case, if you set the vertical axis to percentage, the traffic volume for the interface will exceed 100% of the interface's capacity.

Policies Graphs: Matching and Dropped Traffic for Policies Page

Use this page to view data that shows how much traffic matched the policies and whether it was transmitted or dropped. You can customize the page with the customization controls.

To open this page, do either of the following:

•Click View Report in the Historical Monitoring Tasks Page.

•Click Policies Graphs in any historical monitoring report page.

You will not see data on the historical graphs immediately after the task starts. Depending on when you start the task, the length of the polling interval, and how many other tasks are being run concurrently, it can take up to several hours to see graphed data. This is because of the way in which QPM collects the data and writes it to the QPM database.

To see any data in the graphs, your task must include at least three polling periods.

For example, if you use a polling period of 30 minutes, and run the task for only one hour, you will not see any graphed data for the task. If you need to see data immediately, as it is collected, use real-time monitoring.

If a device is not successfully polled (for example, when a device is unreachable), a red triangle appears along the X axis at the point where the device data could not be collected.

The graph uses the last collected data values in the graph, which will appear as straight lines until the device is successfully polled. For bar graphs, a red triangle indicates there was at least one unsuccessful polling period in the bar.

Each graph includes a legend that shows the time period represented by each point on the poll time (horizontal) axis. The correlation between the filters shown in this graph and the filter rules configured in the policy is not exact. Whenever possible, QPM translates the filter rules configured in QPM to modular CLI match statements. However, there are cases in which only ACL translation can reflect the filter definition This results in multiple filter rules being combined into one match statement (rules combined by OR become separate match statements. Rules combined by AND are combined into one match statement). This data is obtained from the cbQosMatchPrePolicyPkt and cbQosMatchPrePolicyByte MIB variables.

Vertical Axis	Select the vertical scale for graphs: •Linear—Displays the vertical scale of charts in linear format (the distance between units remains constant). •Logarithmic—Displays the vertical scale of charts in logarithmic format (the distance between units gets smaller as the total gets higher). •Percentage—Displays the vertical scale of charts as a percentage of the total bandwidth available on the interface.
Task Name	Displays the name of the task.
Task Start Time	Displays the start time of the task (when the report was run).
Device	Displays the IP address of the device that is monitored in the report.
Interface	Displays the interface name of the interface that is monitored in the report.
Actual Polling Interval	Displays the polling interval at which the task polls for data. This interval might be different than the polling interval configured for the task. If QPM is not able to poll at the interval configured for the task (for example, because of network congestion), it will determine the shortest interval at which it can poll, which is displayed in this field.
Policy selection controls	To select which policies to display in the report, select the check box next to the policies you want to view in the right pane of the report, then click Show Graphs.
Show Graphs button	Click to display only the policies selected in the policy selection controls.
Close Window button	Click to close report window.
Matching Traffic for Policies graph	Displays the traffic that matched each policy group's filters, before any policy actions were performed. This data is obtained from the cbQosCMPrePolicyPkt and cbQosCMPrePolicyByte MIB variables.
Matching Traffic Per Class After QoS Actions graph	Displays the traffic that matched each policy group's filters and was transmitted (not dropped) by the configured QoS policies. This data is obtained as follows: •The bits data is obtained from the cbQosCMPostPolicyByte MIB variable. •The packets data is obtained by subtracting the cbQosCMDropPkt MIB variable from the cbQosCMPrePolicyPkt MIB variable.
Per Class Traffic Discarded By All QoS Drop Actions graph	Displays the traffic that matched each policy group's filters and was dropped (not transmitted) by QoS policy drop actions. This data is obtained from the cbQosCMDropPkt and cbQosCMDropByte MIB variables.
Filters graphs	Displays how much traffic in each class matched each of the class' filters. Each graph includes a legend that shows the time period represented by each point on the poll time (horizontal) axis. The correlation between the filters shown in this graph and the filter rules configured in the policy is not exact. Whenever possible, QPM translates the filter rules configured in QPM to modular CLI match statements. However, there are cases in which only ACL translation can reflect the filter definition This results in multiple filter rules being combined into one match statement (rules combined by OR become separate match statements. Rules combined by AND are combined into one match statement). This data is obtained from the cbQosMatchPrePolicyPkt and cbQosMatchPrePolicyByte MIB variables.
Actions graphs	See Policy Actions Graphs.

Policy Actions Graphs

Policy actions graphs display information about the effect of policy actions. Only actions that are configured in a policy will appear in this page.

For example, if a policy has queuing and policing actions assigned, only actions graphs for queuing and policing will appear.

The following actions can appear in the graphs:

This data is obtained from the cbQosPoliceConformedPkt and cbQosPoliceConformedByte MIB variables.

–Exceeded—Traffic exceeded rate limit.

This data is obtained from the cbQosPoliceExceededPkt and cbQosPoliceExceededByte MIB variables.

–Violated—Traffic violated rate limit.

This data is obtained from the cbQosPoliceViolatedPkt and cbQosPoliceViolatedByte MIB variables.

•Queuing—Displays the amount of traffic dropped due to queuing.

This data is obtained from the cbQosQueueingDiscardByte and cbQosQueueingDiscardPkt MIB variables.

•WRED—Displays counts of the following per precedence level:

–Random drop—Traffic exceeded minimum but was less than maximum count.

This data is obtained from the cbQosREDRandomDropPkt and cbQosREDRandomDropByte MIB variables.

–Tail drop—Traffic exceeded maximum count.

This data is obtained from the cbQosREDTailDropPkt and cbQosREDTailDropByte MIB variables.
