Using the Network Usage Report

The Network Usage report, as shown in Figure 1, contains network-wide information in two categories:

  • Usage—maximum and average bandwidth
  • Clients—average bandwidth in and out

This information can be broken down by Groups and Folders. It can also be summarized by Usage, Client Count, and by both for folders.

In the Network Usage Report Definition page, the Total Usage By folder section also includes the Max Usage In, Max Usage Out, Avg Usage Out, and the Avg Usage In options. You can use these options to get the maximum incoming and outgoing data usage and average incoming and outgoing data usage per folder, respectively. You can also export these details in CSV format.

When you create this report, you can specify to view information for all or specific device types and all or specific SSIDs. You can summarize the report based on Client Count, Usage, and/or Usage and Client Count by Folder.

You can select an option to include tabular information below each graph, and then choose which columns display in the tables.
