You use the reporting tools in Traffix
multi-page reports from collected data about the traffic in your network.
There are eight types of report, incorporating over 40 different charts that
can extract and display the most significant information about traffic
during a specified period.
You can schedule the generation of daily, weekly and monthly reports.
These reports are automatically run overnight and delivered to your Web
server or printer, or stored as data files for later use.
You can also generate reports on demand (ad hoc reports) at any time.
Reporting focuses on four kinds of object: connections, devices, groups
of devices, and segments. For each kind of object there are two types of
report, activity and top N, making the total of eight different types of
report.
Each report type therefore specifies which objects are reported on and
what level of detail is given in each report.
Use activity reports to give detailed information about one or more
specified objects.
