Viewing reports

To view a report directly in the Network Monitor management interface, either select the View command on the Report information view, or click the icon from either report list. Viewing a report works differently for Customized reports and Report templates.

Viewing Customized reports

Since the content of a Customized report is already pre-defined, no additional settings are required to view a Customized report. When the operator views a Customized report, the report is created immediately and displayed. Depending on the operator settings, the report displays in either in the same browser window, or opens in a new window.

Viewing Report templates

When the View command is selected for a Report template, Network Monitor displays the View report page.

Viewing a report template

  • Period - Select the desired report period.
  • Select networks - Select networks to be included in the report from the list and click the Select button to include the network. To remove a network from the report, select it from the list and click the Remove button.
  • Select objects - Select objects to be included in the report from the list and click the Select button to include the object. To remove an object from the report, select it from the list and click the Remove button.

To generate the report, click the View report button.

Viewing reports on selected objects

The procedure to view a report for selected objects is identical to viewing a report on selected networks. Select the objects to be included in the report from the object list view. It's also possible to select objects of a specific network from the Network information page. The View report command is also available from the Object information page.

Viewing reports on selected monitors

The procedure to view a report for selected monitors is identical to viewing a report on selected networks. Select the monitors to be included in the report from the Monitor list view. It's also possible to select monitors of a specific object from the Object information page.

When viewing a report of selected monitors, the View report page also contains a section for creating Quick reports. Quick reports enables you to quickly organize the selected monitors into different charts.
