About the Utilization Report

The Utilization Report analyzes the data that Rapid Recovery protects and manages. It includes any data that exists in associated repositories and data that has been transferred from one machine to another. The Utilization Report section of the QorePortal™ consists of the following three pages.

Analysis

The Analysis page of the Utilization Report is where you can run or schedule a report. For more information, see Creating a report schedule. This page also shows the report results.

There are three criteria available for narrowing the scope of the report:

• Time Period. When running a report, from this drop-down list you can select a time period defining the start and end time for data to be displayed in the report.

  Note: For clear definitions of each time period option, see Working with time periods in the topic Working with QorePortal reports.

  Local times are converted to Coordinated Universal Time (UTC).

  Note: To understand the effect of UTC date conversion on the returned data set, see Understanding dates shown in QorePortal reports in the topic Working with QorePortal reports.

  
  
• Organizations. Based on your root group, from this drop-down list you can select one or more organizations to define the scope of the report.

  Note: For more information, see Working with organizations in the topic Working with QorePortal reports.

  
  
• Cores. From this drop-down list, you can choose the Rapid Recovery Cores you want to include in your report. The default is to include all of the Cores in the found set (defined by the other search criteria). This option lets you clear any Cores that you do not want to include in the report.
• Machines. From this drop-down list, you can choose the protected machines to include in your report. The default is to include all of the protected machines in the found set (defined by the other search criteria). This option lets you clear any machines that you do not want to include in the report.

The results of the report appear as the following collection of graphs and tables:

• The Summary shows the number of protected machines and Cores included in the report, the total amount of protected data, the total amount of transferred data, number of repositories being used, and the amount of data being replicated from one Core to another.
• The Protected Data Size graph uses a dot system to show how the total amount of data protected has changed over the selected period of time. Data are converted to and displayed in UTC.
• The Protected Machines graph uses a dot system to show how the total number of machines protected has changed over the selected period of time. Data are converted to and displayed in UTC.
• The Usage by Cores table shows details about each Core server included in the report, such as the number of machines that a Core protects, the amount of data backed up, the amount of data transferred as backups, the amount of data replicated and transferred as replications, and the number of repositories associated with each Core.
• The Usage by Machines table shows details about each protected machine included in the report, such as the amount of data backed up from that machine, the amount of data transferred as backups, the amount of data replicated, and the amount of data transferred as replications per machine.

Saved reports

The Saved Reports page of the Utilization Reports area is where you can view or delete any Utilization reports that you chose to save. The portal stores reports in order by creation date.

Schedules

The Schedules page stores the scheduled reports created by following the procedure in Creating a report schedule. Here, you can edit schedules and delete them.
