Bug ID 631727: Analytics data is displayed per collection interval instead of per second.

Last Modified: Apr 28, 2025

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP AVR(all modules)

Fixed In:
13.0.0

Opened: Dec 04, 2016

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

Analytics data is displayed as total number of events per selected interval (5 minutes by default) instead of average number of events per second in the selected interval.

Impact

Analytics data is accurate, but not displayed as expected, potentially leading to inaccurate interpretations.

Conditions

Analytics data on the following pages is affected: Statistics :: Analytics :: IP (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Disk :: Disk Activity (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Disk :: Disk Sizes (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: Traffic Details :: Bits (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: Traffic Details :: Packets (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: Traffic Details :: Connections::Client Side Connections. Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: Traffic Details :: Connections::Server Side Connections. Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: TCP :: SynCookies (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: TCP :: Packets (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: TCP :: Connections (All *except* for 'Avg Active Connections'). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: UDP :: Datagrams (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: UDP :: Connections (All *except* for 'Avg Active Connections').

Workaround

The user can divide the displayed results by the number of seconds in the selected interval to get the average per second values.

Fix Information

All Analytics data is displayed as average per second, and is not affected by changes to the selected collection interval.

Behavior Change

Analytics data is displayed per collection interval instead of per second. Previously, the count of bytes/packets/new connections and so on, was displayed as total number of events that took place during a collection interval (5 minutes by default). This resulted in potential converting the 5 minute interval to "per second," which required dividing every displayed value by 300. Beginning with this release, metrics are displayed as average per second, and not total activity. Using a "per second" is much more intuitive rather than "per 5 minutes". Analytics data on the following pages is affected: Statistics :: Analytics :: IP (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Disk :: Disk Activity (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Disk :: Disk Sizes (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: Traffic Details :: Bits (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: Traffic Details :: Packets (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: Traffic Details :: Connections::Client Side Connections. Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: Traffic Details :: Connections::Server Side Connections. Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: TCP :: SynCookies (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: TCP :: Packets (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: TCP :: Connections (All *except* for 'Avg Active Connections'). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: UDP :: Datagrams (All). Statistics :: Analytics :: Virtual Servers :: UDP :: Connections (All *except* for 'Avg Active Connections').
