CPU Report

This report shows the average CPU utilisation for Cisco devices, for both 1-minute and 5-minute averages.

Free Memory Report

This report shows the free memory statistics for Cisco devices.

Memory Pool Report

This report shows the memory pool statistics for Cisco devices.

Traffic Usage Report

This report displays the cumulative traffic usage figures for one or more interfaces. The measurements that are displayed include the node and the interface, and total traffic inbound, outbound and combined (all in Gigabyptes), plus a shortened report period column.

Traffic Summary Report

The traffic summary report provides a specialized report of categorized and grouped traffic figures for any number of nodes and interfaces.

This report requiresnode_intf_type input file that provides nodes, interfaces and "type" for grouping (see How to select Nodes (and Interfaces) for reporting).

The interfaces are grouped both by their "type" attribute and their average combined utilisation (into categories Low=<45%, Minor=<80%, and Major=>80%).

The  report consists of

  • a summary table, which displays for each "type" category the number of interfaces in each utilisation category (and a total)
  • and a details table for each combination of "type" and utilisation categories.
    The details table shows the node and interface, the input and output interface speeds, the average combined traffic and the average combined utilisation, plus a shortened period column.

For output formats HTML and CSV these tables are shown one after the other. For XLSX, the tables are put on separate worksheets (within a single spreadsheet file).

Node Availability Report

New in version 3.0.8. Please note that the precise content of this report is subject to change.

This report provides an overview of nodes' reachability and down time for a given period (which may include business days and/or business hours filtering).
For each selected node the report shows the percentage of time the node was up, down, or partially reachable (i.e. up but packet loss was encountered), plus the percentage of time where NMIS couldn't collect any reachability information whatsoever, as well as the cumulative periods for up, down and periods with missing data.

From version 3.0.10 on this report offers optional embedded graphs of each node's availability. The default choice is to include graphs but you can change that using the report option embedgraphs. In the GUI this option is named "Include Embedded Graphs".

Interface Capacity Report

New in version 3.0.8. Please note that the precise content of this report is subject to change.

The interface capacity report displays a comparison between configured interface speeds and observed actual bandwidth figures.

For each selected interface, it shows the configured input and output speeds, the observed maxima of input and output bandwidth for the report period, and the 95th percentile of the combined interface utilization (Combined utilization in this report means the set of averages of each input and output utilization reading).
In the HTML output format all interface speed and bandwidth figures are autoscaled and shown with the most appropriate unit, whereas CSV and XLSX outputs contain the unscaled data in bits per second.

From version 3.0.10 on this report offers optional embedded graphs of each interface's capacity. These graphs show the observed input and output bandwidth (input in green, output in blue), and the higher of the configured in and out speeds as a red warning line. If the configured input and output speeds are identical,  the 95th percentile of the combined interface utilization is also shown as a dotted line.

The default choice is to include graphs but you can change that using the report option embedgraphs. In the GUI this option is named "Include Embedded Graphs".
