  • 1.  Top N utilization report - Group indicator by object in table mode , add column for Speed.

    Hi All, 

    We are generating the Top N Interface utilization IN and Out report . But in DI unable to see option to Group indicator by object in Table mode. Hence the report not showing up clean.  And also couldn't add interface speed details in that column. 

    Can someone advise on this request.

    Hello Akhil,

    Group indicator by object is not an option in the TopN Widget table visualization, this option only exists in the Performance Metrics widget's table visualization. 

    For the TopN view, the view itself would need to be configured to include the interface speed as a column. This can be accomplished in the NMS UI, TopN View Editor. See below.

    Lastly, another method would be to populate the interface speed as metadata and that column could be inserted wherever metadata columns are supported. 

    Additionally, some customers modify the Interface Object Type so that the interface speed is appended to to the object description. Options shown below.

    Hi Brenden, Thank you for the update.  Currently I have pulled the report using the Top N template created at NMS . ( Ideally as DI consider reporting engine it should have the ability to create Top N views ) . There are some gaps  found while generating the report , Report column headers required -- Device Name , IP , Speed , Utilization in %, and utilization Out %.  Top N view created at NMS with utilization in % (sorted), Utilization out % (not sort), Speed (not sort). 

    while report generated in DI with the new top N view , surprisingly the utilization out (%)  is showing in bits instead of %. Tried multiple combination and finally understood , the field which is unsorted and selected with Speed is getting formatted in bits instead of percentage. ( I open a case with support ).

    Not sure is it some bugs at DI ?.
