Overview of Community Traffic
Reports
The Community Daily Traffic Report shows daily measurements of
messages sent and received by each community.
Report contents
The report shows the total number of messages sent and received
by each community. It also shows the number of messages that were
not sent or received by each community due to restrictions on sending
during any day in the 32-day period, including the current date.
Sending Restrictions feature
If you use the Sending Restrictions feature, this report monitors
the feature's effectiveness and provides data for you to check to
ensure that the appropriate communities in your organization are
restricted. For example, if a community has a large number of calls
blocked due to restrictions on sending, you might want to investigate
further to determine if there is:
- An administration problem. Are the right communities being allowed
or denied access?
- A subscriber problem. Do subscribers know they are restricted,
and is the restriction appropriate?
Also, depending on how you use the feature, this report can provide
security information if you are monitoring call activity involving
sensitive communities.
