Bandwidth Utilization Report for interface (smartview monitor or diagnosticsview)

[r1der]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to find out if I can generate a 30 day report for Mbps usage on an external interface for justifying a speed increase.

There seems to be several ways to possibly get what I am asking, but having no luck so far.

From what I have checked so far:

• SmartConsole > Logs & Monitor - I have created Views/Reports >> Widget >> Timeline >> but there doesn't appear to be a Timeline Value (Y) for this.  Tried Normal Traffic (bps), Traffic Total Bytes (Sum) but those don't seem to have a way to filter by interface eth1. Seeing has there's no way to do that, I think this module is not the right way to generate this. 
  
  
• SmartConsole > Tunnel & User Monitoring (SmartView Monitor). I created a "new traffic view". Filtered by "Real time" - Interfaces. Targeting the gateway in question.  I believe this is exactly what I need, except a 30 day report. When I go back into the properties and set it to History & Traffic History to Last Month for Time Frame, it only gives the attached list. 

   So not sure this will work.

• cpview - I found the column I believe I need, but not sure how to extract this data, besides typing it out in an excel spreadsheet. One other option I read was to possibly setup cpviewer. Another was DiagnosticsViewer. I exported the logs, and opened it within DiagnosticsViewer.  There are predefined views, which has eth1_Rx_throughput, but cannot find the Tx throughput under Explorer. I can also filter the dates I want, however I cannot find the fields I need and not sure they exist. I went through each dropdown but I don't think I can get what I am looking for automatically perhaps.

Maybe I am after the wrong thing, or looking at the wrong places? Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thank you!
