The following topics describe the fields in the pages that are accessed from the Analysis option:
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.
 |
Note 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.

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

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, but there are cases in which only ACL translation can reflect the filter definition, resulting 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 CBQoSMatchPrePolicy MIB variable.

Dropped Traffic for Policies 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 CBQosCMDrop MIB variable.
|
|
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, but there are cases in which only ACL translation can reflect the filter definition, resulting 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 CBQoSMatchPrePolicy MIB variable.

Actions graphs
|
See 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:
- PolicingDisplays the following traffic amounts:
-
- ConformedTraffic conformed to rate limit.
- This data is obtained from the CBQoSPoliceConformed MIB variable.
- ExceededTraffic exceeded rate limit.
- This data is obtained from the CBQoSPoliceExceeded MIB variable.
- ViolatedTraffic violated rate limit.
- This data is obtained from the CBQoSPolicyViolated MIB variable.
- QueuingDisplays the amount of traffic dropped due to queuing.
- This data is obtained from the CBQoSQueuingDiscard MIB variable.
- WREDDisplays counts of the following per precedence level:
-
- Random dropTraffic exceeded minimum but was less than maximum count.
- This data is obtained from the CBQoSREDRandomDrop MIB variable.
- Tail dropTraffic exceeded maximum count.
- This data is obtained from the CBQoSREDTailDrop MIB variable.
- Transmit counterTraffic was transmitted.
- Traffic ShapingDisplays counts of the following:
-
- Delayed traffic.
- Traffic drop due to traffic shaping.
- This data is obtained from the CBQoSTSStatsDrop MIB variable.
- CAR action (non modular QoS)Displays counts of the following:
-
- Bytes/packets that conformed to rate limit.
- Packets/bytes that exceeded rate limit.

Assignment conflict reports are generated in the following cases:
- Devices with policy group assignments are moved from one device group to another, as a result of synchronization of privileges. QPM removes the network element assignments of these devices.
- The IOS version on a device with policy group assignments is changed, either manually in the Device Properties page or by a rediscovery. If the policy groups to which the device is assigned contain QoS configurations that are no longer supported by the device IOS, QPM removes the network element assignments of the device.
Use the Assignment Conflicts Reports page to select a report showing the network element assignment conflicts.
To open the Assignment Conflicts Reports page, select Reports > Conflicts, then select Assignments in the TOC.
