Viewing Bandwidth Usage Reports for a Specific Site
You can view detailed bandwidth usage for a specific site. The report, by default, shows bandwidth usage by all services, from the start of the monitoring session to the current day. You can also browse through past reports by selecting the time period for which you want to view the usage report. The time period is based on the bandwidth monitoring cycle defined for the site at the time of creating the site.
Note: Bandwidth statistics may not be available for new sites for up to five minutes after the new sites are created. Also, you will not see statistics until there is traffic on the new site. The information is updated every 2 hours.
To view bandwidth usage details for a specific site:
- On the left navigation bar, click Bandwidth Reports. The Usage Reports form opens displaying all the sites that have usage report statistics available.
- In the Site column, locate the site whose report you want to view, and click the underlined name of that site, for example, click store.acme.com.
The Usage Report form for that site opens. The upper section of the form shows the bandwidth usage for the entire site. The lower section shows details of bandwidth usage by individual services on the site.
