QoS system reports
CAR provides reporting capabilities for three levels of users:
- Administrators - Generate system reports to help with load balancing, system performance, and troubleshooting.
- Managers - Generate reports for users, departments, and QoS to help with call monitoring for budgeting or security purposes and for determining the voice quality of the calls.
- Individual users - Generate a billing report for calls by each user.
Note
Depending on your job function, you may not have access to every report that is described in this chapter.
Only CAR administrators generate the QoS detail report. The report details the QoS ratings that are attributed to inbound and outbound calls on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network for the period that is specified.
Managers or CAR administrators generate the QoS summary report. The report provides a two-dimensional pie chart that shows the distribution of QoS grades that are achieved for the specified call classifications and period. The report also provides a table that summarizes the calls for each QoS. The call details in CDRs and CMRs and the QoS parameters that are provided in the Define QoS Values provide a basis for assigning a particular voice-quality category to a call.
You can either view reports that the system automatically generates or generate new reports. Only CAR administrators can schedule reports for automatic generation. See Automatic generation of CAR reports and alerts, for more information.
The following table describes the QoS parameter operators that you use in generating the QoS reports.
- Generate QoS detail reports
- Generate QoS summary reports
- Generate QoS by gateway reports

Generate QoS detail reports
Procedure
Step 1 Choose . The QoS Detail window displays.
Step 2 In the Select Call Types area, check the check boxes for the types of calls that you want the report to include. The following table describes the call types.
Table 2 QoS Detail Report Call Types Outgoing calls that originate on one Cisco Unified Communications Manager network, go out through a trunk, and terminate on a different Cisco Unified Communications Manager network. For CAR purposes, be aware that any outgoing call can be classified as an On Net call if it is configured as such in the CAR dial plan configuration window. See Set up dial plan.
Calls, including intracluster calls, that originate in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network and end in the same Cisco Unified Communications Manager network (no gateways or trunks are used).
Local calls that are routed through the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to numbers without an area code or that include one of the local area codes.
Long-distance calls that originate in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network and go out through the PSTN.
International calls that originate in the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network and go out through the PSTN.
Inbound calls that originate outside the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network, enter through a gateway, and go into the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network.
Inbound calls that originate outside the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network, enter the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network through a gateway, and are transferred outbound from the Cisco Unified Communications Manager network through a gateway.
All other outgoing calls, such as toll-free numbers or emergency calls such as 911.
Step 3 In the Select QoS area, check the check boxes for the voice-quality categories that you want included in the report. The parameters set in the following table provide the basis for all voice-quality categories. Step 4 Choose the date range for the period for which you want to see QoS information. Step 5 In the Select Users field, you can either choose all users or search for particular users. To choose all users, check the Select All Users check box. To choose individual users, enter the user ID of the individual in the User ID field and click the Add button.
Note You can also use a provided search function. See the User search.
Step 6 If you want the report in CSV format, choose CSV (comma separated value) in the Report Format area. Be aware that the CSV-format report is limited to 20,000 records. If you want the report in PDF format, choose PDF (portable document format) in the Report Format area. Be aware that the PDF-format report is limited to 5000 records. Step 7 Click the View Report button. The report displays.
Step 8 If you want to mail the report, click the Send Report button. To send the report, perform the procedure that is described in the Mail reports.

Generate QoS by gateway reports
Only CAR administrators generate the QoS by Gateway report. The report provides the percentage of calls that satisfy the selected QoS criteria for a period that is specified for the selected gateways.
Caution
Use CAR only during off-peak hours. Otherwise, data collection and report generation could cause performance degradation on the Cisco Unified Communications Manager system.
This section describes how to generate, view, or mail QoS information about all chosen gateways.
Before You BeginProcedureConfigure the gateway by using the procedures in the Set up gateway.
Step 1 Choose . The QoS based on Gateways window displays.
Step 2 In the Generate Reports field, choose a time as described in the following table.
Table 5 Generate Report Fields Displays the percentage of the calls, for each selected gateway, that satisfies the QoS criteria for the period that you specify in Step 6. The percentage results show for hour of day.
Displays the percentage of the calls, for each selected gateway, that satisfies the QoS criteria for the period that you specify in Step 6. The percentage results show for day of week.
Displays the percentage of the calls, for each selected gateway, that satisfies the QoS criteria for the period that you specify in Step 6. The percentage results show for day of month.
Step 3 In the Jitter field, choose the operator that you want to use and enter the value for jitter. See the Table 1 for descriptions of operators. Step 4 In the Latency field, choose the operator that you want to use and enter the value for latency. See the Table 1 for descriptions of operators. Step 5 In the Lost Packets field, choose the operator that you want to use and enter the value for number of lost packets. See the Table 1 for descriptions of operators. Step 6 Choose the date range of the period for which you want to see call information. Step 7 To choose the type of gateway that you want included in the report, perform one of the following tasks:
Step 8 From the list, choose a gateway type. The gateway name displays in the List of Gateways box.
Note The List of Gateways box will display up to 200 gateways that are configured for the chosen gateway type.
Step 9 In the List of Gateways box, select the gateways that you want to include in the report.
Note You can generate a report for up to 15 gateways at a time. If you select more than 15 gateways, you will see the message "Select 15 or fewer gateways to generate new report."
Step 10 Click the down arrow icon to move the chosen gateway to the list of Selected Gateways box. The gateway that you chose displays in the Selected Gateways box.
Step 11 If you want the report in CSV format, choose CSV (comma separated value) in the Report Format area. Be aware that the CSV-format report is limited to 20,000 records. If you want the report in PDF format, choose PDF (portable document format) in the Report Format area. Be aware that the PDF-format report is limited to 5000 records. Step 12 Click the View Report button. The report displays.
Step 13 If you want to mail the report, click the Send Report button. To send the report, perform the procedure that is described in the Mail reports.
