Viewing Desktop Traffic reports

The Reports > Endpoints: Desktop Traffic report provides a percentage breakdown, by port and by application, of the amount of SteelHead Mobile traffic being transmitted.

The Mobile Controller automatically discovers all the ports in the system that have desktop traffic. The discovered port, along with a label (if one exists), is added to the report. If a label does not exist, an Unknown label is added to the discovered port.

If you want to change the Unknown label to a name representing the port, you must add the port with a new label. All statistics for this new port label are preserved from the time the port was discovered.

The Endpoints > Desktop Traffic report displays a maximum of 16 colors for ports. If you have more than 16 ports, the colors in the report wrap from the beginning.

The Desktop Traffic report provides these statistics that describe data transmission by port and by application (for example, MAPI, HTTP, or CIFS), for the time period you specify.

Field	Description
Port	Specifies the TCP/IP port number and type of traffic for each row of statistics.
Reduction	Specifies the amount of data reduction as a result of data optimization.
LAN	Specifies the amount of traffic on the LAN.
WAN	Specifies the amount of traffic on the WAN.
Traffic %	Specifies the percentage of the total traffic each port represents.

If the Mobile Controller is part of a cluster and you set the aggregated statistics, the endpoint report displays time-series data aggregated across the entire cluster. A message appears at the bottom of the report stating whether the data was successfully retrieved from all the cluster members. For details, see Configuring Mobile Controller clusters. If the Mobile Controlleris part of a cluster and you do not set aggregated statistics, the report only shows data from the current Mobile Controller.

Control	Description
Period	Select Last Hour, Last Day, Last Week, Last Month, or Custom from the drop-down list. If you select Custom, specify a Start Time and End Time to configure a customized time interval report. Use this format for specifying a start and end time: yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss.
Endpoints	Select All from the drop-down list for a report based on all endpoints connected to the Mobile Controller, or select a specific endpoint from the list. You can also perform a search on a substring, such as the IP address subnet.
Refresh	Select a refresh rate option for the report display: 5, 10, or 15 Minutes. Or, select Off to turn off refresh. The refresh rate sets the rate at which the results of polling are displayed, not the polling rate itself. Polling occurs every five minutes.
