Report-monitoring provides information about the distribution and consumption of network resources. This information helps you understand how the network is used at different granularities (such as for the entire link, for traffic generated by all subscribers in a specific package usage counter, or for traffic generated by a specific subscriber). These reports are critical for tuning the Service Control Solution configuration according to changing network patterns.
Monitoring reports are created from Link Usage, Package Usage, and Real-Time Subscriber Usage Raw Data Records (RDRs). These SCE platform generated RDRs provide periodic usage information (at various granularities) that is processed according to the selected report template to provide the final report.
Monitoring reports typically show a specific metric for a set of service usage counters at a selected granularity, such as bandwidth for P2P and Browsing service usage counters at a link granularity, or volume for the Streaming service usage counter for subscribers in the Gold package usage counter.
You select the service usage counters on which to report via the SCA Reporter. The available service usage counters are those counters defined in the service configuration of the SCE platform from which the reports are generated.
