CAR provides reporting capabilities for three levels of users:
administrators, managers, and individual users. Only CAR administrators
generate the conference bridge device reports.
Device reports track the load and performance of
Cisco Unified Communications Manager related devices, such as conference bridges,
voice-messaging servers, and gateways.
Only CAR administrators generate the Conference Call Details
report. The Conference Call Details report allows you to generate and view
details about conference calls.
This section describes how to generate, view, or mail a
Conference Call Details report.

Only CAR administrators generate the Conference Bridge
Utilization report. The report provides an estimate of the utilization
percentage of the conference bridges (cumulative utilization of all the
conference bridges that are selected for OnDemand reports) for the period and
not the exact utilization. For example, the system calculates the utilization
of a conference bridge between 11hrs and 12hrs as the ((Sum of duration of the
calls that used the conference bridge in that hour) / (Number of days between
the fromDate and toDate selected * Maximum number of streams in the conference
bridge * Maximum number of duration in seconds in an hour) * 100)). The value
that is calculated will display in the report as the utilization for the time
between 11hrs and 12hrs. You can examine the usage based on each hour of a day
or on a specified number of days for each week or month.
You can either view reports that the system automatically
generates or generate new reports. Only CAR administrators can schedule reports
for automatic generation. See
CAR system scheduler,
for more information.
