PacketShaper

This course explains the installation, configuration and use of Packeteer’s ReportCenter2 reporting application. It starts by introducing the use, architecture and features of ReportCenter2 before detailing installation considerations and initial configuration options. It then concentrates on the configuration of the ReportCenter2 Server, Configuration Agents and general administration. Finally, the use and interpretation of Queries and Reports, the use of the Query template for the definition of customised Reports, and the creation of Queries are studied and discussed. Delegates will gain experience of the ReportCenter Control Panel, User Web Portal and the Administration Console to configure the various ReportCenter2 elements and generate Reports and Queries.

This course is aimed at anyone responsible for installing and/or administering ReportCenter2 and for those who will consequently use it to generate reports in order to analyse their network performance.

Delegates must have practical experience of using the PacketShaper browser interface, particularly of the Reporting tools. Familiarity of the concepts and use of such tools as the Response Time Management (RTM) variables and other performance related metrics will be a definite advantage.
