Archived Reports

1. (Optional) Configure the IP/MPLSView server to set the maximum number of days to store performance management data.

   By default, you can store data collected from live traffic, aggregated traffic, and archived traffic for a maximum of 35 days. In most cases, using the default value should be adequate for your data storage needs, However, you can increase or decrease this value according to the available storage space in your network and how long you need to retain the historical data.

   If necessary, you can set a nondefault value for the maximum data storage capacity in either of the following ways:

   • During the IP/MPLSView installation, change the default value (35) for Maximum Traffic Capacity in Days in the installation script.

   • After the IP/MPLSView installation, change the default value by running the /u/wandl/bin/changeconfig.sh script.
2. Collect the data to be generated for the archived reports by running the appropriate collection task from Task Manager.

   Table 1 lists the collection tasks you need to run to provide data for the associated archived reports. For example, to generate data for the Archived Ping report, you must first schedule the Device Ping Collection task from the Task Manager to run on a recurring basis.
