HP 3PAR System Reporter Software - Manual (Page 115)

6 Configuring the System Reporter Policy Settings
System Reporter enables you to edit HP 3PAR System Reporter policies, such as the sampling
policies, add or remove storage servers from the database, and schedule reports. These actions
can only be performed using a Web browser and cannot be performed using the System Reporter
Excel client. The end of the chapter also describes how to edit the Apache HTTP Server configuration
files, which hold the Apache HTTP Server Usernames and passwords.
Accessing the System Reporter Policies
You can configure and modify policies by clicking on Policy Settings in the System Reporter Main
Menu Window and selecting the appropriate tab from the System Reporter Policies window:
The following options are available from the menu tabs:
•
Sampling Policies -- Configures report sampling policies.
•
InServ Systems -- Specifies the HP 3PAR StoreServ Storage systems to include for sampling
and subsequent report generation and optional optimization.
•
Alert Rules -- Specifies alert rules for email reports.
•
Scheduled Reports -- Schedules reports for generation at a specified time.
•
Adaptive Optimization -- Configures the optionally licensed Adaptive Optimization components.
NOTE: For details on configuring Adaptive Optimization, see “Using Adaptive Optimization”
(page 182) .
Configuring Sampling Policies
You can use a Web browser to adjust certain HP 3PAR System Reporter database sampling policies
such as the sampling interval for high-res samples.
Table 55 (page 115) shows a list of policies that you can edit and their default values.
