Use the cluster management console to generate a standard report.
About this task
Reports stored in the system do not include actual data. Instead, the reports define what
data to extract from the system and how to display it.When you produce a report, you query the
database and extract specific data. The amount of system overhead depends on how much data is in the
report.
Reports have configurable parameters, so you can modify the report and get the exact
data that you want.
To prevent users from modifying (inserting, updating, or deleting) custom
report data, you can enable access to the reporting database through read-only users.
Procedure
-
From the cluster management console,
select .
-
Click the type of report to create.
-
Set the report parameters as desired. Default settings are shown, but you can modify them to
suit your needs.
-
Click Produce Report.
After a short time, the resulting data is displayed graphically as a report.
-
The generated report is for viewing purposes only: when you close the report window, you lose
the contents of the report unless you export it first. Exporting a report is the best way to save
the data for future use. (Data expires from the database periodically, so producing a report at a
later date may return different data, or return no output at all.) You can export the report data as
comma-separated values in a CSV file which preserves your data outside the system and allows you to
integrate it with external programs, such as a spreadsheet. You can also keep your graphical results
by using your browser to save the report results as an image.
While viewing your report, you can export the data from your report, as follows
-
Click Export Report Data.
-
If requested, specify the output path and name of the exported file, and specify the file type
as CVS.
