Growth Report

The Growth report provides historical growth statistics for the top protocols on the selected interface--so you can see which applications have increasing capacity needs. This knowledge helps you make decisions about adding capacity in the future.

This topic describes how to display a Growth report.

Follow these steps:

1. Display an interface report in either of the following ways:
   • Locate and click an interface on the Interfaces page.
   • Click an interface link in an existing view--for example, on the Enterprise Overview page.
2. Select Growth Report as the report type at the top of the page.

   The report page is updated to show a Growth Report table.

3. (Optional) Choose the direction of the traffic to display by using the Presentation options.
   • Direction In: Show traffic that is inbound to the interface.
   • Direction Out: Show traffic that is outbound from the interface.
4. (Optional) Change the reporting time period:
   1. Select Last 6 Weeks (default setting) or Last 6 Months in the Presentation options.
      • Last 6 Weeks: Sets the report to show six weeks of data. The six most recent weeks are selected by default.
      • Last 6 Months: Sets the report to show six months of data. The six most recent months are selected by default.
   2. (Optional) Use the ‘Through week of’ or the 'Through month of' option to select an alternative ending week or month for the six-week or six-month time period.
   3. (Optional) Restrict the reporting range by selecting a time filter from the Time Filter option list.

      Time filters are created by the Administrator for CA Network Flow Analysis. For example, the Administrator could create a time filter to restrict the report data to business hours and business days. If the Time Filter list is empty, your Administrator has not created any time filters.
