Interpret the Skype for Business peer-to-peer activity report

You can get a view into your Skype for Business peer-to-peer activity by looking at Activity, Users, and Minutes charts.

The Skype for Business peer-to-peer activity report can be viewed for trends over the last 7 days, 30 days, 90 days, or 180 days. However, if you click into a particular day in the report, the table (see number 7) will show data for 30 days, up to the date (see number 2) for when the report was generated.

Each report has a date for when this report was generated. The reports usually reflect a 24- to 48-hour latency from time of activity.

Use the interactive chart data on the Activity chart to understand usage trends and to see the total number of sessions per session type being held in your organization. It will show you the total number and types of IM, Audio, Video, Application sharing, and File transfers sessions across your organization.

Use the interactive chart data on the Users chart to understand usage trends and to see the number of unique users that are participating in peer-to-peer activities that are being held in your organization. It will show you the total number of users along with the types of IM, Audio, Video, Application sharing, and File transfers in peer-to-peer sessions.

Use the interactive chart data on the Minutes chart to understand usage trends and to see the number of minutes that are used by users doing peer-to-peer activities using audio and video. It will show you the total number of minutes of Audio and Video that is used in peer-to-peer sessions.

Each chart has an 'X' (horizontal) and 'Y' (vertical) axis.

• On the Activity activity chart, the Y axis is the total number of IM, audio, video, application sharing and transferring files sessions that your users held in your organization.
• On the Users activity chart, the Y axis is the total number users that held IM, audio, video, application sharing, and transferring files sessions.
• On the Minutes activity chart, the Y axis is the total number of minutes that users across your organization spent using audio and video peer-to-peer sessions.

The X axis on both charts is the selected date range for this specific report.

You can filter the series you see on the chart by clicking on an item in the legend. For example, on the Activity chart, click or tap IM, Audio, Video, Application sharing, and File transfers to see only the info related to each one. Changing this selection doesn't change the info in the grid table.

The table shows you a breakdown of the peer-to-peer activities per user. This shows all users that have Skype for Business assigned to them and their peer-to-peer activities. You can add additional columns to the table.

• User name is the name of the user.
• Deleted indicates that the user's license was removed.
  
  Note: Activity for a deleted user will still display in a report as long as he or she was licensed at some time during the selected time period. The Deleted column helps you to note that the user may no longer be active, but contributed to the data in the report.
  
  
• Deleted date is the date on which the user's license was removed.
• Last activity date (UTC) is the last activity date (UTC) for that user.

You can also export the report data into an Excel .csv file, by clicking or tapping Export.

This exports data of all users and enables you to do simple sorting and filtering for further analysis. If you have less than 2000 users, you can sort and filter within the table in the report itself. If you have more than 2000 users, in order to filter and sort, you will need to export the data.

Click or tap the Columns icon in any of the columns to add or remove columns from the report.
