Demand Reports Overview

Demand reports provide information about network traffic. You can use this information to evaluate ingress and egress traffic patterns.

Demand reports are of four types:

  • VPN Demand reports—To generate these reports, you must run the Demand Reports task, with VPN Demands selected as the report type.
  • Group Demand reports—To generate these reports, you must first group nodes as a single entity in the topology map; see Group Nodes. Then, you must run the Demand Reports task, with Group Demands selected as the report type.
  • Label-switched paths (LSP) Demand reports—To generate these reports, you must run the Demand Reports task, with LSP Demands selected as the report type.
  • Autonomous system (AS) Demand reports—To generate these reports, you must first enable the generation of AS demands by using the set northstar analytics netflowd generate-as-demands CLI command. Then, you must run the Demand Reports task, with the Include AS Demands toggle button enabled and with the required AS report types selected.

    To run a demand reports task, see Add a Demand Reports Task.

Table 1 explains the different types of demand reports. For details about each type of demand report, see View Demand Reports.
