    Description

      I've attached a screenshot of the traffic accounting page for one of our customers.  It's calculated off the interface which connects that customer to the WAN/Internet.

      I just wanted to verify that these numbers look correct.  I don't see a way to export data from the accounting page.  But I can export data from the regular graph from the device page.

      I'm not quite sure how to interpret the data I'm getting.  I would like to sort this based on the Mbps at each data point collected (I believe polled every minute for accounting) and try to do the 95th percentile in Excel just to confirm.

      Any help is much appreciated.  I'm also attaching the CSV in case anyone can explain the headers in that file.

          One last question just came up.  Would there be an easy way to have an alert in the billing section when the customer goes over X% of their commitment to send an alert?

          Adam,

          The percentile graph looks awesome!  Thank you for that.  I also verified manually and everything looks accurate.  Much appreciated!

          Jason.

          Hi Jason,

          This should now be visible in the UI. It doesn't have the cross lines (i'm not entirely sure how to do that with the graphing library used for that graph), but it's easy enough to zoom in to the period and find the closest datapoint to 95th.

          I'll see if i can work out how to generate a graph like that. I think it should be simple.

          Thanks Adam.  I'll give this a try.  The customer is questioning the bandwidth usage which is why I would like to get the data points myself so I can draw the 95th in Excel and prove it out.

          A graph similar to the new screenshot I just attached showing the sorted samples and the 95th line to the right would be useful to prove it I think.
