Description and usage cases

Filters in reports allow users to narrow down data based on specific criteria, making it easier to quickly find the required information within large data sets.

Report filtering is available in the QoE Analytics sections: NetFlow, Raw Full NetFlow, ClickStream, and Raw ClickStream.
Before applying filters to reports, you need to select a time range using the “Period” field:

There are two options for selecting a period:

  1. Custom range — start and end times are set manually;
  2. Quick ranges — predefined date and time intervals from a list.
All filters configured in the cases below can be saved as profiles for quick reuse in future reports. Learn more

Case 1. Searching for a subscriber in QoE

Used when you need to track the activity of a specific subscriber, an IP pool, or a list of subscribers.
Search can be performed by IP or Login. If no results are found using one filter, try the other.

Reports may also include multi-subscribers — a single login assigned to several IP addresses or an IP range with CIDR.

1. Select a filter. To search by IP — use “Subscriber”, to search by login — use “Login”;
2. Configure the filter using one of the three options:

Single subscriber IP:


Login:
Subscriber pool IP:
Subscriber list IP:


Login:

3. Enable the filter by checking the box to the left of it;
4. Click “Apply”.

Case 2. Filtering by resource
