WAN Optimization Reports

The Reports > WAN Optimization page has three tabs for specifying reports:

Site – Reports run from the Site tab provide data relative to a specified site on the WAN. They report LAN traffic and WAN traffic for all connections that traverse the WAN between the specified site and any other site.
Intersite – Reports run from the Intersite tab display LAN and WAN traffic for connections that traverse the WAN between two specified WAN sites.
Overall – Reports run from the Overall tab provide LAN and WAN statistics for all interfaces in the WAN.

The following controls are common to all tabs:

Templates – a menu of options for using the current Report Criteria settings; more
Report by – specifies the category of data by which traffic is reported (hosts, interfaces, applications, ports, etc.); more
Report Format – specifies the graphical presentation to be used for reporting traffic information. (Options vary slightly from tab to tab where non-applicable items are omitted.) Individual displays of the completed report can be modified.
Time frame – the length of time (ending now) or the interval of time (from x to y) that the report is to cover; more
Data resolution – the period of time represented by each data point on the report; more
Run now – runs the report and displays the results as soon as they are available
Run in background – opens a window for you to specify the title of the report and the option for saving the report. It then runs the report in the background. When the report is ready, it is saved and listed on the Reports > Saved Reports page.

Additional criteria are specific to the individual tabs.

When you run the report using the Run now control, the Report Criteria section is collapsed to present a better display of the report. You can re-open the Report Criteria, change the settings and run a new report.
