Collecting and storing statistics

MMS automatically collects the data every 10 minutes, and saves the statistics in a database.

The storage time for statistical data by granularity can be configured as required. The default storage time is as follows:

• For 5 days at 10-minute intervals
• For 15 days at 30-minute intervals
• For 60 days at 2-hour intervals
• For 2 years on a 1-day granularity

Average measurements over long periods do not reflect the user experience, so information associated with traffic peaks is also stored. In this way, IS managers can monitor sporadic changes as well as strong trends to understand overall variations in resource utilization.

Aggregate site statistics

For all sites managed by the solution, SGM automatically aggregates all statistics associated with each site (measured by StreamGroomers deployed on one or more Datacenters if the site is not equipped with a StreamGroomer). For example, graphs linked to the following indicators are available for both equipped and non-equipped branches:

• Total volume or flow
• Breakdown of throughput between applications

For a datacenter, advanced aggregation functions can be used to present, for example :

• Breakdown of throughput by category, remote site or application
• For each application, consolidated indicators as well as top remote sites for the following measurements: volume, number of users, response time, etc.

Aggregate category statistics

Powerful and flexible statistics aggregation functions provide high-level information on different categories such as Business Units or geographical entities.

Traffic volume and application or VoIP metrics can be consolidated across any category. In addition, the Top 10 sites within the category can be displayed for any application metric (volume, number of users, response time) or VoIP metric (volume, number of calls, MOS).
