CsP2PSession* reports

  • Article

These reports are deprecated as of January 29, 2018. We recommend that you use the Microsoft Graph Skype for Business organizer activity reports, Skype for Business participant activity reports, and Skype for Business peer-to-peer activity reports instead.

The CsP2PSession* REST URIs provide summary statistics about the number of Office 365 Lync Online peer-to-peer sessions. There are three reports that use the same overall structure, and differ only in the time interval over which they summarize the data: daily, weekly, and monthly. For simplicity, the three reports are detailed in this one topic.

Applies to: Office 365

Remarks

To be included in the reported numbers of sessions, at least one participant must have participated in the session as their Office 365 organization user account.

Session participants who were attending via mobile devices such as phones or tablets are not included in the report. For this reason, if all the participants in a session are on mobile devices, that session won't show up in the report.

Each entry in the report includes several fields of metadata. For more information, see Common metadata returned by the Office 365 Reporting web service.

The three report types differ only in the amount of time that each report entry covers. The time reported in the Date field represents the end of the time period. Dates and times are reported in the time zone specified in the HTTPS GET X-timezone header. If no time zone is specified, UTC time is used. The time durations reported are calculated in the following manner.

Report name

Time-period calculation

Daily (CsP2PSessionDaily)

The reporting day starts at precisely midnight (00:00:00) and ends just before midnight (23.59:59.9999...) on that same day. The last day reported will be the last full day for which data is available, and will not include the current day. The date and time returned in the Date field represents the end of that reporting day.

Weekly (CsP2PSessionWeekly)

The reporting week starts at precisely midnight (00:00:00), early on Sunday, and ends just before midnight (23:59:59.9999...) on the following Saturday night. The most-recently reported entry is the one that includes the current day, and therefore will typically extend beyond when the report is requested. The date and time returned in the Date field represents the end of that reporting week.

Monthly (CsP2PSessionMonthly)

The reporting month starts at precisely midnight (00:00:00) on the first day of the month, and ends just before midnight (23.59:59.9999...) on the last calendar day of that month. The most-recently reported entry is the one that includes the current day, and therefore will typically extend beyond when the report is requested. The date and time returned in the Date field represents the end of that reporting month.

Input parameters and report output columns

The [In/Out] indicators in the fields table have the following meanings:

  • Fields marked [In] in the fields table are primarily intended for use in $filter=, $orderby= and other query options that restrict which entries the report returns. Fields marked [In] in the fields table can be included the $select= option, and they will appear in the report entries, but they will contain no useful data.

  • Fields marked [In/Out] in the fields table can be used in both column selection ($select=) and entry restriction ($filter= and $orderby=) options. When you include one of these fields in the $select= option, they will appear in the report entries, and will contain useful data when it is available.

Compatibility

The CsP2PSessionDaily, CsP2PSessionWeekly and CsP2PSessionMonthly reports were introduced in Office 365 service version 2013-V1. For more information about versioning, see Versioning in the Office 365 Reporting web service.

Corresponding PowerShell cmdlets

The CsP2PSession* reports return the same information as the Get-CsP2PSessionReport Windows PowerShell cmdlet.

Note

This cmdlet is deprecated. We don’t recommend that you use it in your production environment.

Permissions

The account you access the reports from must have administrative permissions in that Office 365 organization. If the report is present in the service description document and the $metadata document returned to the user, then they have permissions to retrieve the data from the REST web service. This report requires the user to be assigned to the View-Only Recipients Role. In the default Office 365 permissions structure, users with the following administrator permissions can access this report: billing administrator, global administrator, password administrator, service administrator, and user management administrator.

Data granularity, persistence, and availability

Information available through these reports can be separated into one-day periods, starting at midnight of the time zone reported by the calling application in the HTTP X-timezone header.

The information for this report is available for a period of one year, or until the subscription is cancelled.

Events may be delayed by up to 24 hours before they appear in a report.
