The Interface Bandwidth report displays maximum and average values for interface inbound and outbound throughputs across multiple resources. The information is displayed as a table and can include a graph for each interface, allowing you to view multiple interface metrics across a group of devices.

Configuring an Interface Bandwidth Report

To add a new Interface Bandwidth Report:

1. Select Reports > Add Report > Interface Bandwidth to open the report settings.

General Settings

1. (Required) Enter a Name. Report names cannot include the operators and comparison functions used in LogicMonitor’s DataSource expression syntax.
2. Enter a Description. For example, describe the specific purpose of the report.
3. (Required) Enter a Report Group to set where your report will be stored. Matching groups will display as you type and you can select from the list.
4. Set the report’s output Format, which can be HTML, CSV, or PDF.

Interface Bandwidth Settings

1. Select a Time Range to indicate when data will be pulled from your Dashboard. You can choose a Predefined time range or enter a Custom time range.

2. (Required) Select at least one Resource Group or Resource to use in your report. This selection will restrict your report to the data in these Resource Groups and Resources. You can use explicit names or glob expressions in these fields.

3. Under DataSources, enter one or more sets of DataSource, Instance, and Description to indicate which DataSource to include in the report.

4. Select Top 10 only to limit the report’s results to the top 10 values.

5. Select Scale by units of 1024 to change the scale of the graph. By default, the graph is scaled by units of 1000.

6. Select the Report Format to be Text only or include a Graph per Interface.

7. Select Percentile to capture the highest usage levels experienced during the peak traffic periods.
For example, if you select the 95th percentile, it provides a reliable metric for evaluating your network’s bandwidth performance, capturing the highest usage levels experienced during the top 5% of peak traffic periods. This helps distinguish between typical traffic patterns and temporary fluctuations.

8. Select Data Format to convert the data into the required units such as Bits, Bytes, Kbps, or Mbps. By default, the data format is set to Bits.
