Filters in QoE reports

Description and cases

Filters in reports allow the user to filter data by certain criteria. This is convenient for quick search of necessary information in large volumes of data.

Report filtering takes place in the QoE sections of the analytics: Netflow, Raw full netflow, Clickstream, Raw clickstream.
Before applying filters to reports, you must select data by a specific time interval using the “Period” field:

There are two options for selecting a period:

  1. Custom range — arbitrary Start and End of period, set manually;
  2. Quick ranges — ready-made date and time intervals, selectable from the list given.

Case 1. Filtering by subscribers

Used when you want to track the activity of a specific subscriber, a pool of subscribers or a list of subscribers.
1. Select the “Subscriber” filter;
2. Customize the filter by one of three options:

Single subscriber
Subscriber pool
Subscriber list

3. Enable the filter by checking the checkbox to the left of the filter to be configured;
4. Click “Apply”.

Case 2. Filtering by resource

It is used if you need to find subscribers who have visited a specific resource or list of resources.

  1. Select the “Host” filter;
  2. Select the “=” or “like” operator;
  3. Enter the name of the resource;
  4. Enable the filter by checking the checkbox to the left of the filter to be configured;
  5. Click “Apply”.

To filter by list of resources, follow the principle from Case 1. Filtering by subscribers → Subscriber list.

Case 3. Filtering by CIDR address

Used if you want to filter data by a specific IP address with a subnet mask.

  1. Select the “Subscriber” filter;
  2. Select the “in CIDR's” operator;
  3. Enter the IP address with subnet mask;
  4. Enable the filter by checking the checkbox to the left of the filter to be configured;
  5. Click “Apply”.

>= Returns records that are greater than or equal to the entered value
< Returns records that are less than the entered value
Returns records that are less than or equal to the entered value
in Allows multiple values to be entered and returns all that match the values in the list. Each value must be entered on a new line Each value on a new line
not in Allows multiple values to be entered and returns all of them, except those that match values in the list. Each value must be entered on a new line Each value on a new line
between Returns records where the expression is in the range of values value1 and value2 inclusive Each value on a new line
not between Returns all records where the expression not is between value1 and value2 inclusive Each value on a new line
in CIDRs Allows multiple CIDR values to be entered and returns all that match the values in the list. Each value must be entered on a new line 192.0.2.32/27

Checks whether a string matches a simple regular expression. The regular expression can contain the metasymbols:

  • % indicates any quantity of any symbols (including zero symbols).
  • _ indicates any one symbol.

For an example of using a regular expression, see Case 1. Filtering by subscribers → Subscriber Pool.
