Viewing Reports
You can run reports from group objects or individual nodes in the
Navigation tree. When generating a report for a group object, the
results include the data for all nodes within that group. In addition,
you can compare the performance of one object to another object
by running comparison reports. To do this, select multiple objects using Control + Click from the
Navigation tree. The resulting report displays a comparison of these two objects for the report
specified.
Running reports
After adding a node to be monitored, you can try running a report against the node you have added
using the following steps.
1. In the navigation tree, select the node that you want to run a report against.
2. Select the time period that you want to run a report against from the Window drop-down box
on the main tool bar. For more information, see Selecting a reporting time period on page
5-7.
3. Right-click the node and select a report from the list of reports available on the pop-up menu.
For more information about available reports, see Types of reports on page 5-28.
4. The report will be run and the results displayed in the right-hand side of the user interface.
