REPORTING

StreamSense records WAN Application Delivery performance, providing detailed long-term visibility into both technical details for operations teams and business-oriented data for decision-makers.

Long-Term Visibility

WAN infrastructure and application indicators available in real-time are automatically collected and consolidated on the StreamGroomer Manager to provide an overall picture of any changes on a daily, weekly, or monthly basis.

Traffic peaks and average values are recorded to provide a snapshot of the user's environment. Simply taking average measurements over long periods will not provide the user's view of performance. Thus IT managers can monitor both sporadic changes (exceptional traffic peaks) and global changes to understand overall variations in resource usage.
Powerful and flexible statistics aggregation feature provide high-level information on numerous categories such as Business Units or Geographical Entities.

Automated PDF Reports

The StreamReport application can be used to generate automated reports on a regular basis by processing all of the recorded statistics. Report fields (infrastructure, applications, sites) are fully customizable for complete across-the-board visibility for decision makers and network managers. They can be generated in various formats (PDF, HTML…) and sent by email.
The information to be included in a report is highly automated: a subset of sites can easily be selected by choosing specific categories, or automatically selected if they suffer from particular performances issues (most loaded access links, worst response time for a specific business applications, etc.).
CSV reports can be generated for billing purposes, containing information such as consumed bandwidth or data volume per business unit or country.

Personalized Web Portals

The StreamAccess application provides intuitive and flexible access rights management. Users can be granted access to pre-defined web portals with different types of information such as long-term graphs, real-time statistics, troubleshooting tools, and parameters. The sites perimeter can also be customized so that access is restricted to sites belonging to a Business Unit, a specific country or geographic location.
With StreamDashboard, you can also build -la-carte personalized dashboards including a selected set of graphs, letting the users choose the time period they would like to look at.
The views can mix any kind of graphs, whether business-oriented or engineering-oriented, whether related to the WAN infrastructure or applications.
Moreover, users can display two different time periods and compare trends or unusual activity.

Smart Netflow

A per session history can be recorded by activating the Netflow export on the StreamGroomers. Advanced and automated export filtering mechanisms can restrict the history to sessions related to specific applications or exchanged with a specific remote site.
