Generating Reports for a Group
Once Network Health has had sufficient time to gather data from the polled DLCIs
and the DLCIs have been grouped, you can start generating reports. When
selecting a report Section, select WAN from the drop-down list. See
Running
Reports from the Console
in the
Network Health Reports Guide
for additional
information. That section also tells you how to schedule automatic report
generation.
NOTE:
Network Health provides information with each chart or table, generally
referred to as a report. Click on the hyperlink (Explanation of...) for an
explanation of the report and its features. You can also refer to the
Network
Health Reports Guide

About Service Level Reports
For long-term analysis and reporting, you will want to license the Service Level
Reports application. This application analyzes data collected over months, or by
quarters, and provides service level information about an enterprise, a region,
department, or business process. Executive, IT Manager, and Customer Service
Level reports are provided.
Using these reports, you can measure service performance against goals and
agreements. Ranges for service level goals can be set for up to five variables:
availability, bandwidth, bytes, health exceptions, and latency. These ranges need
to be set before reports are scheduled.
About At-a-Glance Reports
At-a-Glance Reports consolidate various important DLCI and network
performance indicators onto a single page. Up to ten DLCIs can be included in an
At-a-Glance Report.
For FrameSaver units with the SLV and SLM reporting feature set, using the
FrameSaver SLV report on page 9-9, you can compare a DLCI’s volume with
the network’s performance over a specified period of time. Ranges for service
level goals can be set for up to five variables: availability, bandwidth, bytes, health
exceptions, and latency. These ranges need to be set before reports are
scheduled. In addition, all the enhanced network statistics that only an SLV
enhanced device can accurately collect is provided so you can truly monitor the
health of the frame relay network and see the effects of the customer’s utilization
on network efficiency.
