Product: PerformanceGuard — a separate CapaSystems product; do not apply this page to any other.

In addition to the normal IP traffic reports aggregated by *location*, you can also view aggregated IP traffic data per *computer* per application.  
Aggregation is the gathering of separate data in a summarized form. If, for example, you have performance data about a computer from every minute that computer has been online, you can aggregate that data into an average from every hour. That way, you won 'tneed to store so much data, but you'll still be able to view trends in the computer's performance.

:::caution
In PerformanceGuard the term *application* doesn't necessarily mean a single software program. Instead it means a collection of things that your organization finds it meaningful to measure the performance of together. Therefore, your PerformanceGuard administrator must have defined these things and set up trend aggregation before you can use application reporting; see [Set Up Application Reporting](/performanceguard/administration/network-applications/set-up-application-reporting/).
:::

If we assume that everything has been set up, here is how to run an application report:

1. Select **ANALYZE > Computers > Application Report**.
2. Select the required application (remember that an application can be a collection of things that your organization finds it meaningful to measure the performance of together).
3. In the **Agents** menu, select required group of computers.
4. Select required interval. If the predefined intervals don't suit you, select **Custom** to [Custom Time Periods on Graphs](/performanceguard/analyze/custom-time-periods-on-graphs/).
5. Click the **Run** button.
6. After a short while you can select between downloading your application report as an Excel spreadsheet, adding it to a report, or exporting it.
