VisualRoute's Analysis Search feature allows you to search back over a period of time and pull up traceroute or ping plot data for a particular host or IP address.
The Analysis search button is found on the main toolbar as shown below:
The analysis information dialog box has three sections. First is to choose what kind of results you want, the second is the time interval you want to search over, and the third is which host you want to search for. Specify either the hostname or IP address to get analysis data for, or leave blank to look for any host.
Next stage is the criteria you want to search by. Each variable has an explanation about the data it is expecting to help fill out this dialog box. The advanced text box allows you to enter advanced search criteria, see the examples below.

Traceroute information
The advanced text box accepts boolean logic, for example rtt>30 and ipto=19.19.19.2.
| Operator | Meaning |
|---|---|
| > | Greater than, not equal to |
| >= | Greater than or equal |
| < | Less than, not equal |
| <= | Less than or equal |
| = | Equal to |
| != | Not equal to |
Tags you can use are:
- rtt
- ipto
- ipresp
- sent_ttl
Round Trip Time and Packet Loss
The advanced text box accepts boolean logic, for example rtt>30 and ipto=19.19.19.2. The same comparison operators listed above apply here.
Tags you can use are:
- maxloss
- endloss
- endms
- maxms
- numhops
- endip
- endname
So to specify all traceroutes with an endloss greater than 30 and endms less than 50 you would put:
endloss>30 and endms<50Wildcards are supported for the endip and endname ONLY (i.e. not for pings). This means you can do endname=*.visualware.com.
