Viewing Inbound QoS reports
The Inbound QoS report displays received and dropped throughputs for a variety of inbound QoS class configurations (up to seven) or an aggregate total of all classes for the time period specified.
For details about the report format, 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
Mouse over a specific data point to see what 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 with a granularity of 5 minutes for the day, 1 hour for the last week, and 2 hours for the rest of the month.
To view the Inbound QoS report
1. Choose Reports > Networking: Inbound QoS to display the Inbound QoS page.

2. Use the controls to customize the report as described in this table.

Description
Time interval
Select a report time interval of 5 minutes (5m), 1 hour (1h), 1 day (1d), 1 week (1w), All, or type a custom date. All includes statistics for the last 30 days.
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 is not 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 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 view the newest data and see data points as they’re added to the chart dynamically. To display the newest data, click Show newest data.
Units
Select either packets/sec or bps 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 and remote sites (up to seven). You can’t select a class or a class @ site 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 descendant classes, the report aggregates the statistics for the entire tree of classes. It displays the aggregated tree statistics as belonging to the selected class.
