You can generate a Quick report using the default values or a custom report with specified values. You can also schedule a custom report to run on a recurring basis. All the reports are displayed in the Reports page, where you can download and view the report data. You can also view the scheduled reports in this page.

In the new Orchestrator UI, click Reports. The page displays all the generated reports.

To download a report, click the Completed link of the report. The report downloads as a ZIP file, which consists of the PDF format of the report. If you have configured to export the report to CSV format, the ZIP file consists of both the PDF and CSV files.

For a custom report, the data in the report may vary according to the customized settings. The report files consist of the following.
  • PDF:
    • Graphical representation of distribution of Enterprise Traffic, Transport, and top Applications.
    • Top 10 Applications by Traffic and Transport types.
    • Top 10 Edges by Applications.
    • Top Backup links with top Applications.
    • Top Talkers with top Applications.
    • Top Edges in top Non SD-WAN Destinations from Edge.
    • Top Sites in top Non SD-WAN Destinations via Gateway.

    The Enterprise Traffic distribution lists the following data:
    • Cloud Via Gateway: Internet bound traffic that goes through the SD-WAN Gateway.
    • Internet Via Direct Breakout: Internet bound traffic that breaks out directly from branch and does not go through VMware Tunnels.
    • Internet Via Branch CSS: Traffic bound to Cloud Security Services directly from VMware branch.
    • Branch To Branch: Traffic going through SD-WAN Gateway / SD-WAN Hub / dynamic SD-WAN Tunnels, directly between two VMware branches.
    • Branch Routed: Traffic bound to local connected / static / routed (underlay) destinations.
    • Branch To NVS Via Gateway: Traffic bound from branch to Non VMware SD-WAN Site through SD-WAN Gateway.
    • Branch To NVS Direct: Traffic bound from branch to Non VMware SD-WAN Site over direct IPsec tunnels.
    • Branch To Backhaul: Internet bound traffic being backhauled from branch to VMware SD-WAN Hubs.
  • CSV: The following CSV files are downloaded.
    • Top Sites by Applications: Lists all the applications, Edge name, Edge description, Bytes transmitted, and Bytes received.
    • Traffic Type: Lists all the flow paths, applications, Edge name, Edge description, Bytes transmitted, and Bytes received.
    • Transport Type: Lists all the Transport types, applications, Edge name, Edge description, Bytes transmitted, and Bytes received.
    • Backup Link Usage: Lists the names of all the Backup links, total bytes and applications used by the links, Bytes transmitted, and Bytes received.
    • Non SD-WAN Destinations from Edge: Lists all the Non SD-WAN Destinations connected directly from the Edges, name and description of the connected Edges, Bytes transmitted, and Bytes received.
    • Non SD-WAN Destinations via Gateway: Lists all the Non SD-WAN Destinations connected through SD-WAN Gateways, name of the Gateway, Bytes transmitted, and Bytes received. This report also lists the name and description of the Edges connected to each destination along with the Bytes transmitted, and Bytes received.
    • Top Talkers: Lists the names of clients, source IP address, source MAC address, name and description of the Edges connected to each client, total bytes used by the client, applications, Bytes transmitted, and Bytes received.
