14 Reporting in IMC
From the Report tab, you can quickly and easily access IMC template driven reports on network assets,
configuration and configuration changes, network device and link status and events, alarms, and
network device health. In addition, you can access reports on network user and service activity and
device and link details.
There are two types of report categories: Real Time and Quick Custom. The Real Time category offers
resource statistics, configuration and change, fault or alarm and performance reporting on network
devices and interfaces, users and services. You can schedule Real Time reports with format options
including PDF, CSV, or Microsoft Excel. Scheduled reports are stored on the IMC server for later viewing
and downloading.
Quick Custom reports are informational only. There are two types of Quick Custom reports – device and
link. Device detail reports include information on device label, status, IP address, MAC address, device
type, model, vendor, location, contact, SysOID, hardware version, software version, serial number and
product number for managed devices. Quick custom reports based on link details include information on
devices connected to either end of a link. This information includes device name, port, IP address, and
port speed.
All reporting under the Report tab is template driven with reports being generated from the system or
from user-defined templates. For Real Time reports, IMC provides many system-defined templates that you
can use to create their custom report views as well as to schedule reports.
Templates are also used for Quick Custom reports. You can create your own templates for Quick Custom
reports through the use of step-by-step configuration and include the reports based on the created
templates in your report views.
The Report main page, accessed through the Report tab is a blank page that can be customized to meet
individual reporting needs. Using the Add My Real Time Report and the Add My Quick Report links, you
can customize the Report main page to include those reports that are most useful to you. Once a report
is added to the Report main page, you can access them by clicking the report name link and entering
report parameters, including date and time, to access the information they need quickly. You must first
create the reports using the report templates for Real Time reports or create the templates for Quick
reports before you can add them to your customized My Reports page.
In addition to Web views of reports, you can also schedule Real Time reports that are written to Adobe
Acrobat, Microsoft Excel, or Comma Separated Value formats. Scheduled reports can also be sent
through email in Adobe Acrobat, Microsoft Excel, or Comma Separated Value formats.
Finally, you can incorporate data from other IMC sources for inclusion in Real Time reporting and you
can also add your own name or company name and logo to all Real Time reports.
My real time reports
The base version of IMC provides a number of pre-defined reports that provide you with a wide range of
information about the health and performance of network resources from network discoveries and
topology reports to capacity and optimization reports. Base installation reports also include information
on alarms as well as network performance. The list of pre-defined reports expands as IMC modules are
added to the base installation of IMC. These reports are available to you from the My Real Time Reports
page.
