Viewing Inbound QoS Report
The Inbound QoS report displays received and dropped throughput traffic for a variety of inbound QoS class configurations (up to seven) or an aggregate total of all classes for the time period specified.
Note: If you choose a SteelHead running RiOS 9.0.x, the QoS report will not display data. SCC 9.0.x does not support QoS reports for SteelHeads RiOS 9.0.x. Log in to the SteelHead to view QoS data.
For details about operating report controls, see Overview.
What This Report Tells You
The Inbound QoS report answers these questions:
•  How many bits or packets per second were transmitted over the WAN for the QoS classes?
•  How many bits or packets per second were received and dropped for the QoS classes?
About Report Graphs
Use the mouse to hover over a specific data point to see the y values and exact time stamp were in relation to peaks.
About Report Data
The Riverbed system reports on performance for periods up to one month. Due to performance and disk space considerations, the display granularity decreases with time passed since the data was sampled.
For detailed information about data grouping, see Data Grouping.
To view the Inbound QoS report

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 do not 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 does not 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 is not visible because the system is no longer storing the data. For example, the following custom time intervals do not return data because the system automatically aggregates data older than 7 days into 2-hour data points:
•  Setting a 1-hour time period that occurred 2 weeks ago.
•  Setting a 75-minute time period that occurred more than 1 week ago.
You can quickly see the newest data and see data points as they are added to the chart dynamically. To display the newest data, click Show newest data.
Appliance
Select an appliance from the drop-down list.
Units
Select either packets/sec or bps from the drop-down list.
Show
Select either total or selected classes from the drop-down list.
Classes
Select Total or Selected classes from the drop-down list. Selected classes lets you narrow the report by choosing from drop-down lists of classes (up to eight). You cannot select a class more than once.
Click Update to change the QoS class selection without updating the chart.
When the report display includes the total classes, the data series appear as translucent; selected classes appear as opaque.
When the report display includes the total classes, the navigator shadows the total received series. When the report display includes selected classes, the navigator shadows the first nonempty received series. A data series can be empty if you create a QoS class but it has not seen any traffic yet.
Selecting a parent class displays its child classes: for example, the report for an HTTP class with two child classes named WebApp1 and WebApp2 displays statistics for HTTP, WebApp1, and WebApp2.
When a selected class has descendent classes, the report aggregates the statistics for the entire tree of classes. It displays the aggregated tree statistics as belonging to the selected class.
Note: For detailed information about exporting statistics, see Exporting Statistics.
