Search Reports

Search Reports can be used to generate reports specific to the user. This is especially useful in finding out the bandwidth utilization of a specific host or application.

While Troubleshooting Reports can be used to derive information on one interface at a time, Search Reports can be generated across interfaces. Data for Troubleshooting reports is taken directly from raw data, whose maximum retention period can be set from Settings. But data for Custom Reports is taken from aggregated data in the database.

You can select the device or its interfaces for which you need to generate an report based on the custom criteria.
