What this report tells you
The Performance Details report answers these questions:
•  What is the appliance name?
•  What is the product name?
•  What is the model number?
•  What is the reduction size?
•  What is the throughput?
About report graphs
Mouse over a specific data point to see what the throughput and reduction values are.
About report data
The Riverbed reporting functionality polls bandwidth and connection metrics every 15 seconds and reports on performance for periods up to one month. Every 15-second sample is used for calculating its average and peak value. However, due to performance and disk space considerations, data representation in reports for periods longer than the last five minutes are interpolated between data points obtained by aggregating more than one 15-second sample. The display granularity decreases with time passed since data was sampled.
For detailed information about data grouping, see Data grouping.

Description
Time Interval
Select a report time interval of 1 hour (1h), 1 day (1d), 1 week (1w), 30 days (30d), yesterday, last week, or last month.
Time intervals that don’t apply to a particular report are dimmed.
For a custom time interval, enter the start time and end time using the format yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss
Because the system aggregates data on the hour, request hourly time intervals. For example, setting a time interval to 08:30:00 to 09:30:00 from 2 days ago doesn’t create a data display, whereas setting a time interval to 08:00:00 to 09:00:00 from 2 days ago will display data.
When you request a custom time interval to view data beyond the aggregated granularity, the data isn’t visible because the system is no longer storing the data. For example, these custom time intervals don’t return data because the system automatically aggregates data older than seven days into two-hour data points:
•  Setting a one-hour time period that occurred two weeks ago.
•  Setting a 75-minute time period that occurred more than one week ago.
You can quickly see the newest data and see data points as they’re added to the chart dynamically. To display the newest data, click Show newest data.
