Reporting

The Reporting tile (View > Reporting, or the Reports quick action) shows how busy the board is.

The Reporting tile Figure 1. Reporting for the last 7 days, by day.

What it shows

  • A toolbar with the range: Today, Yesterday, 7 days, 30 days or 60 days, By hour or By day, and Export CSV. By hour is offered up to 7 days.
  • Five number boxes: Calls (with the average per day), Failed logins (with the average per day), Peak sessions (the most callers open at the same time), Average call (about, per session) and Busiest hour of day (the hour, for example 09:00 - 10:00, and how many calls it had).
  • Calls per hour or day, as a stacked bar chart split by service, with a legend that shows the total for each (Telnet, RLogin, FTP, Web, NNTP and BinkP in the picture).
  • Calls by service: a bar for each service with its count and its share of all calls.
  • Busiest hours: the top five single hours, with their dates, and a small chart of calls by hour of the day, from 0 to 23. The busiest clock hour is shown in amber.
  • Failed logins per hour or day.

Days and hours are in your local time.

Good to know

  • History is kept for 60 days. The footer tells you if the range you picked is only partly covered.
  • Failed logins come from the Login Guard. At start PBDispatch reads them back from LOGINGUARD.LOG, so counts survive a restart. Log rotation can limit how far back they go.
  • Average call is an estimate. Web and BinkP calls are not counted, because they have no session length.
  • Export CSV saves the numbers for a spreadsheet.
