Set the Time Period for a Report

The Enterprise Overview displays data for the previous 24-hour period. Interface reports also display data for the previous 24 hours by default. You can change the reporting period by using the time period controls at the top of the report page.

Note: The Capacity Planning report uses two different time periods for calculations and reporting data. Information about configuring time periods for capacity planning trends is in the topic Trend Settings for the Capacity Planning Report.

When you view Interfaces report pages, you can change the time period for the displayed data. For example, if you notice an issue in a 1-day report, you might want to change the time period to be the last seven days. Expanding the time period can reveal whether the issue occurs daily.

The current time period is shown at the top of most Interfaces report pages. These interface reports reflect 1-minute resolution data. For a 24-hour time period, the report shows the data points in the previous 24 hours, including the final full 1-minute data point. For example, if you generate or refresh the report on May 11, 2012 at 16:11 GMT, the time period for the report is May 10, 2012 16:10:00 through May 11, 2012 16:10:00.

Note: Each user account has an assigned time zone, which determines how time is labeled in reports. For example, if a user who has a time zone of Central Standard Time (CST) views a report with data for 8:00 to 9:00 A.M., the data for 8:00 to 9:00 A.M. CST appears in the report. An Administrator can modify this setting for the user account. For more information about user account administration, see the CA Network Flow Analysis Administrator Guide.

The time period at the top of the report page is a link to the options you use to change the reporting time period.
