usage-reporting formula
Configures link with the formula used by the service provider to determine billable usage rate.
usage formula <method> [ { sum-of-each-sample | sum-over-billing-period } ]
no usage formula
- method--the formula used to determine billable usage rate; can be:
- percentile-inbound--rate determined by Nth percentile of all incoming data samples
- percentile-outbound--rate determined by Nth percentile of all outgoing data samples
- percentile-sum-inbound-outbound--rate determined by Nth percentile of sum of all incoming and outgoing data samples
- sum-percentile-inbound-outbound--rate based on sum of Nth percentile of all incoming data samples and Nth percentile of all outgoing data samples
- percentile-inbound-or-outbound--rate based on Nth percentile of set of all incoming and outgoing data samples
- percentile-max-inbound-outbound--rate based on Nth percentile of set of larger of incoming or outgoing samples
- max-avg- percentile-daily-in-avg- percentile-daily-out--plots the monthly maximum of the following two averages: 1) the daily Nth percentile of all incoming data samples; 2) the daily Nth percentile of all outgoing data samples
- max-percentile-inbound-outbound--rate based on either Nth percentile of all incoming data samples or Nth percentile of all outgoing data samples, whichever is larger
- percentile-avg-inbound-outbound--rate based on Nth percentile of average of all incoming and outgoing data samples
- avg-percentile-inbound-outbound--rate based on average of Nth percentile of all incoming data and average of Nth percentile of all outgoing data
- avg-max-inbound-outbound--rate based on the average of the daily maximum of all incoming data and outgoing data
Must be in link configuration mode (config-engine-link), which requires privileged-level access.
Use once per link.
percentile-outbound
The method set by the usage-reporting formula command determines how CNA calculates the billing report that estimates the service provider’s bill based on link usage data obtained from your edge router. See the polling usage on command.
The value of N in the method descriptions (Nth percentile) is determined by the usage-reporting percentile command.
See the discussion of formulas in the Chapter 4: Polling Routers of the CNA Advanced Monitoring Guide.
The usage-reporting formula command is one of several related usage parameter commands:
Use the sum-of-each-sample or sum-over-billing-period keywords to combine multiple physical links into one billing link. The first will sum each sample from all the physical links; then, at the end of the billing period, the formula will be applied to this value to obtain the cost based on the billing tier. Conversely, with the sum-over-billing-period keyword, the formula will be applied to all the samples of each physical link over the billing period, and then summed to determine the total bandwidth usage for the billing link to find the corresponding billing tier to obtain the cost.
Use the no form of the command to revert to the default value.
