CHAPTER 7: VIEW A BANDWIDTH TREND REPORT

As stated in Chapter 5, TAR has historical trend reports to demonstrate activity by URL categories and bandwidth protocols over a period of time. Bandwidth trend reports are helpful for monitoring bandwidth consumption improvement over time, as well as providing a good tool for setting appropriate thresholds for each TAR bandwidth gauge.

Step 1: Select Bandwidth and Trend Chart

Select the “Bandwidth” menu option in the left-hand menu and then select the sub- menu option “Trend Chart”. This action will open a pop-up window (see Step 2).
