Geography - Regions Report
When users from different geographic regions start complaining of slow response time or a slow load time of the pages of the target web site/web application, administrators may often find it difficult to figure out if this issue is sporadic in that particular region or is the problem persistent over a period of time. The Regions report offered by the eG Enterprise helps administrators to historically analyze the user experience across the regions and figure out answers to the following questions:
By generating this report, administrators can figure out the troublesome regions, fine tune the web site/web application to handle the traffic of those regions thus ensuring a better user experience across all the regions.
To generate this report, do the following:
The Component list will then be populated with the components that are associated with the chosen Service. Select a component of your choice from this list.
Provide a report Timeline. You can either select a fixed timeline such as 1 hour, 2 days, etc., or choose the Any option from the Timeline list, and then provide a From and To date/time for report generation.
Note:
For every user registered with the eG Enterprise system, the administrator can indicate the maximum timeline for which that user can generate a report. Once the maximum timeline is set for a user, then, whenever that user logs into eG Reporter and attempts to generate a report, the Timeline list box in the report page will display options according to the maximum timeline setting of that user. For instance, if a user can generate a report for a maximum period of 3 days only, then 3 days will be the highest option displayed in the Timeline list - i.e., 3 days will be the last option in the fixed Timeline list. Similarly, if the user chooses the Any option from the Timeline list and proceeds to provide a start date and end date for report generation using the From and To specifications, eG Enterprise will first check if the user's Timeline specification conforms to his/her maximum timeline setting. If not, report generation will fail. For instance, for a user who is allowed to generate reports spanning over a maximum period of 3 days only, the difference between the From and To dates should never be over 3 days. If it is, then, upon clicking the Run Report button a message box will appear, prompting the user to change the From and To specification.
In addition to the settings discussed above, this report comes with a set of default specifications. These settings are hidden by default. If you do not want to disturb these default settings, then you can proceed to generate the report by clicking the Run Report button soon after you pick a Measure. However, if you want to view and then alter these settings (if required), click on the icon. The default settings will then appear in the MORE OPTIONS drop down window (see ). The steps below discuss each of these settings and how they can be customized.

If the timeline specified for the report needs to exclude the data collected during the Weekends, then set Exclude weekends to Yes. If not, select No.
Note:
By default, the weekend constitutes Saturday and Sunday. To override this default setting, do the following:
In large environments, reports generated using months of data can take a long time to complete. Administrators now have the option of generating reports on-line or in the background. When a report is scheduled for background generation, administrators can proceed with their other monitoring, diagnosis, and reporting tasks, while the eG manager is processing the report. This saves the administrator valuable time. To schedule background processing of a report, you can either select the Background Save - PDF option or the Background Save - CSV option from the Report Generation list. In this case, a Report Name text box will appear, where you would have to provide the name with which the report is to be saved in the background. To process reports in the foreground, select the Foreground Generation - HTML option from this list.
Note:
Finally, click the Run Report button to generate the report.

If the Report Type is Graph and the chosen Measure is Page Views, then the graph will be generated as shown in Figure 3. The graph clearly points the administrator to the region from which maximum/minimum number of users have viewed the pages of the target web site/web application. By clearly viewing the graph, administrators can identify the region that had minimum page views for the target web site/web application.
