Hello Team ,

We have requirements to share the following reports from SevOne . Currently we are having nearly 1000 devices and more than 10K interface objects . Hence while pulling the report . SevOne is unable to generate it and failed with data exeeds warning. 

Need to have reports monthly for Port Utilized for all the devices --> Any alternate option instead of splitting the device count in to small chunks ? 
Need to know the ports utilized on switched Used and Free, along with the switch names and location. -- > How to find the free ports , 

Looking for some expert opinion on similar scenarios.

Hi Akhil,

What you might want to try is using the API to query the NMS to get a list of devices, and then iterate through them with a snmpwalk, looking for ifOperStatus = down.  Then count the results per device.  If you have IBM's Rapid Infrastructure Automation (formerly Rapid Network automation) solution, you could create a workflow that would do this, outputting the results to a CSV file.  One other item to consider would be to log and compare ifOutOctets on the ports to see whether the octets are incrementing between queries, in order to detect whether the ports are actually unused or just down for maintenance, etc.  If the port isn't emitting any new ifOutOctets over time, then you are probably safe to assume that the port is free vs. just down for maintenance.
