About Reporting

Reporting provides a variety of detailed reports, such as dependency, event, and utilization reports

for discovered elements. To view a report, click a report name in the tree in Reporting. The report

appears in the right pane.

IMPORTANT:

If you are shown the message “The report does not contain any data,” verify the

collector for the report is running. You may also want to verify a collector is running if you believe

the report is not displaying the latest information. Data collectors gather information for reports. If

you stop a data collector, its reports are not updated. See ”

Managing Collectors for Reports

” on

page 212.

The management server provides reports that display performance information in a variety of

formats:

HTML

(Default) - The software displays the report in a Web page by default.

PDF

- The software displays the report in Adobe Acrobat, a good option if you need to print the

report. The software assumes you already have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your

computer. To obtain a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader, go to http://www.adobe.com.
