VOD Bandwidth
The VOD bandwidth page, Manage System > VOD Bandwidth is used to view your bandwidth usage and
see whether it is exceeding the limits set by your license. There are three tabs at the top of the page:
System Report - shows the vod bandwidth and multicast bitrate usage for your whole system.
Server Report - shows the vod bandwidth and multicast bitrate usage for a selected server.
Configuration - used to select which network interface card to monitor on each server.
Server and System Report Tab
The system report and server report tabs work in a similar way:
In the server report tab you must select the server you want to monitor using the Select Server drop down
menu and click Load before continuing. This step is not required in the system report tab.
The top section of the page contains three dials which show from left to right:
Combined bitrate - the total bandwidth on the selected network interface card
Multicast bitrate - the current Multicast bandwidth on the selected network interface card
VOD bitrate - the current video on demand bandwidth on the selected network interface card
The two historical bandwidth graphs at the bottom of the page shows the VOD bandwidth used within the
chosen date range, by default all data is shown since the system was commissioned. The upper graph is used to
view the data, the lower graph is used to pan over the selected date range and zoom in on an area to examine it
in more detail. Use the two calendar icons to change the date range you wish to view. The data is averaged
over a 1 hour time period, use the Graph Scale drop down to change this setting. The graph form drop down is
used to select the way the graph is presented.
Click Refresh to update the graph to see the latest readings. Use the white bar at the bottom of the page under
the graph to pan over and zoom into the selected data range as follows:
Click and drag the bar left or right to pan
Click and drag the edges of the bar left or right to zoom in or out as required
You will see a red line on the upper server report graph which indicates the VOD bandwidth limit set by the
VOD bandwidth license you have configured on that server. This allows you to see if you are exceeding that
limit.
