Hi Vshah, 
you are welcome, 

AVR is a very useful module to collect huge amount of metrics and application statistics : 
First I will tell you the needed steps and will attach an article will help you in details : 

1- create a custom analytic profile , Local traffic >> profiles >> Analystics >> HTTP Analytics >> and
hit create.

2- Select in the profile all needed metrics that you want to collect and select the virtual server that you need to collect these metrics for. 
Note : you can add multiple virtual servers as you can , but please monitor your CPU and memory because AVR consumes little bit CPU , if you have a free in CPU and memory it would be great.

3-  Hit Finish and wait almost 10 minutes , for changes to take effect and the bigip recieve a sufficient traffic. 

4- After that let's say 1 hour for example :
Go to Statistics TAB >> Analytics >> HTTP >> Overview. 
you will see the magic 😄 
you can navegate all statistics also play with time slots and you can export a pdf report to review everything offline and extra ...
