Creating Reports and Graphs

You can create graphs and reports of historical monitoring data for each sensor and even compare two sensors. To get started:

If you use the Web GUI:

·      Please log into your account (see Logging into your account using the Web GUI )

·      From the Account Homepage select click the Minigraph of the sensor for which you would like to create a report or

·      Move the mouse over the “>” link of the sensor you want a report for and select one of the Graph Links or the Info&Custom Graph link. 

If you use the Windows GUI:

·      Please start the Windows GUI (see Starting the Windows GUI)

·      Right click the sensor you want a report for and select one of the graph links or Custom Report.

This will either show the report directly or bring you to the Custom Report window.

To generate a customized report, you can specify the following information:

·      Sensor—use the drop-down menu to select the sensor for which you would like a report generated.

·      Compare—bello network monitoring allows you to generate reports that compare different data. Only supported by reports of type ‘Graph’! To create a comparison report

·      Use the drop-down menu to select a group, server, or sensor

·      If you don’t want to generate comparison data, select the None Option.

·      Type—select the type of report you would like generated: Graph or Value list

·      Graph Type: Select the type of graph you want to have created (If you select ‘Value list’ above you always get ‘Single Values’)

·      Single Values: Draws a graph for all individual results (recommended for time spans up to 2 days)

·      Hourly Averages: Draws a graph with the hourly averages of the monitoring results (recommended for time spans of up to 14 days)

·      Daily Averages: Draws a graph with the daily averages of the monitoring results (recommended for time spans of more than 14 days)

·      Average Daily Load: Draws a graph with the average daily load curve (the 24 average values for each hour of the day) calculated for the given time.

·      Response Time Distribution: Shows the daily distribution of the request latency.

·      Time Span—Choose a predefined timespan or choose custom and enter the desired dates below.

·      Start—select the start date for the report (for custom time span).

·      End—select the end date for the report.

When finished click the Generate Report Button. This will open the Report for Sensor Window.

If you selected the Graph option from the type section you will see a graph with the Request times along with the selected dates. To resize the graph click one of the corresponding links below the graph.

If you selected the Value list option from the type section you will see a list starting with the Log Time, Result Value, and the Message that was given.
