The video data is expressed in a set of 9 graphs. Below you'll find a description for each graph.

Graph name	Description	Example image	Result format
Viewers	The number of unique viewers watching the video event over time, divided in Hive agent viewers and viewers not running the Hive agent.		Results are shown in a graph with Time on the X-axis and Viewers on the Y-axis. Hover over the graphic to see the exact number of viewers at a specific time.
Traffic	Shows how much traffic was handled by Hive distribution and that handled by the “Source”. Hover over a point on the graph for more information: Hive: The traffic handled by Hive distribution (All sites). Source: The traffic that was not handled by Hive distribution.		Results are shown in a graph with Time on the X-axis and Traffic (in Mb/s) on the Y-axis, for Hive traffic and Source traffic. Hover over the graphic to see the exact percentage of Hive and Source traffic.
Buffering Severity	The number and lengths of viewer buffering per 30 seconds snapshots. Note that viewers have an initial expected buffering when starting a video.		Results are shown in a graph per buffering severity with Time on the X-axis and Viewers on the Y-axis. Hover over the graphic to see the exact number of buffering severity of a specific time.
Request per bitrate	The percentage of unique viewers watching the video on a specific bitrate.		The results are shown in the pie chart with a percentage. Hover over the chart to see the bitrate summary per group. Possible groups: All the different bitrates used during a video event.
Savings	How much data traffic was handled by Hive distribution Vs. what was streamed directly from the CDN by Hive enabled viewers, IE: How much network traffic data was saved by using Hive. Hover over a graph segment for more details. There are 2 different modes available (Use the toggle switch to change between them): Known sites - This mode displays data from sites which the customer has specified information for. All sites - This displays data from all sites. Both modes use only traffic generated using Hive distribution.		The results are shown in the pie chart with a percentage. Hover over the chart to see the savings per group in GB. Possible groups: Hive Source
Buffering Severity Summary	Summary of all buffering, calculated per 30 seconds snapshot.		The results are shown in a pie chart with a percentage. Hover over the chart to see the buffering severity per group. Possible groups: None Low Moderate High Severe Insufficient data
Requests per bitrate over time	The distribution of the bitrates requests over time.		Results are shown in a graph per bitrate with Time on the X-axis and Viewers on the Y-axis. Hover over the graphic to see the exact number of bitrate at a specific time.
Source requests	The type of data downloaded from the CDN (Content Delivery Network) over time.		Results are shown in a graph per data type with Time on the X-axis and Number of data type calls on the Y-axis. Hover over the graphic to see the exact number of requests per type at a specific time. Possible groups: Request/s Response/s Error/s
P2P traffic type	The distribution of P2P traffic in Mb/s over time. Keeping the Hive traffic local will reduce stress on the enterprise network. From better to worse, the traffic types are: Subnet, Site, Site-Site.		Results are shown in a graph per data type with Time on the X-axis and Traffic (in Mb/s) on the Y-axis. Hover over the graphic to see the exact number of traffic at a specific time. Possible groups: Subnet Site Site-Site
