Network activity

The Network activity report is a dashboard showing network events and connectivity patterns across your device fleet. Use this report to monitor data traffic trends, PDP context activity, location updates, and review endpoint details for the selected time period.

Questions this report answers

  • How much upstream and downstream data traffic is my fleet generating over time?
  • How many PDP context events are occurring and what types (activated, rejected, deleted)?
  • What location update activity is happening across my devices?
  • How many unique endpoints are active each day?
  • What are the details and last traffic timestamps for my endpoints?

Data Traffic

Stacked bar chart showing upstream and downstream data volume (in MB) over the selected date range. Use the All and Inv toggles to switch between all traffic and inventory-specific traffic.

PDP Context

Stacked bar chart showing PDP context event counts over the selected date range, broken down by event type:

  • PDP Context Request rejected: requests that were denied
  • New PDP Context successfully activated: new data sessions established
  • PDP Context deleted: data sessions terminated

Use the All and Inv toggles to switch between all events and inventory-specific events.

Location Updates

Stacked bar chart showing location update event counts over the selected date range, broken down by event type:

  • New location received from SGSN: location updates from the Serving GPRS Support Node
  • New location received from VLR: location updates from the Visitor Location Register
  • Location update rejected from SGSN: rejected SGSN location updates
  • Location update rejected from VLR: rejected VLR location updates

Use the All and Inv toggles to switch between all events and inventory-specific events.

Unique Endpoints

Combined bar and line chart showing the number of unique endpoints with activity over the selected date range. The bars show the endpoint count (left Y-axis) and the Swim Lane line shows the cumulative trend (right Y-axis). Use the All and Inv toggles to switch between all endpoints and inventory-specific endpoints.
