You can display a report in the following ways:

Each procedure is described below.

Organization of this subsection
(1) Displaying a report by specifying a specific agent
(2) Displaying a report associated with an alarm
(3) Displaying a report from the Event Monitor window
(4) Displaying a report from the Bookmarks window
(5) Displaying a report from the tiling display of a bookmark

(1) Displaying a report by specifying a specific agent

To display one or more reports by specifying a specific agent:

  1. From the monitoring console browser, log on to PFM - Web Console.
    The main window appears.
  2. In the navigation frame of the main window, select the Agents tab.
    The Agents window appears.
  3. In the navigation frame, select an agent whose report you want to display.
    The selected agent is marked with a checkmark.
    If you select Multiselect, you can select multiple agents simultaneously.
    Hint
    To view a report on an object monitored by PFM - RM, select the appropriate remote or group agent for the object.
  4. In the method frame, select the Display Reports method.
    In the information frame, the Reports window appears.
    The contents of the View Report > Select Report window depends on the selected tree type.
    If Report is selected as the tree type, see (a) When the tree type is Report, described below. If Bookmark is selected as the tree type, see (b) When the tree type is Bookmark, described below.
    Note
    When no report is displayed:
    If no historical report is displayed, check the record setting of the Store database as a target item of the report.
    • The value of Log is Yes
    • The value of Collection Interval is 1 or more
    Make sure the setting is the same as above. Because historical reports use and display collected past data, if the target records are not set to be recorded in the Store database, they cannot be displayed.
    If no combination report is displayed, the target registered reports might not be set. In this case, set registered reports by editing the combination bookmark.
    Reference note
    Reports are displayed as described below.
    When the tree type is Report:
    • If a single agent is selected
      If more than one report is selected, each report is displayed in a separate window.
    • If more than one agent is selected and Historical (single agent) report or Realtime (single agent) report is selected
      A report window is displayed for each of the agents.
    • If more than one agent is selected and Historical (multiple agents) report is selected
      A single report window is displayed for all the agents.
    When the tree type is Bookmark:
    • One or more agents selected when the bookmark was registered are used, regardless of how many agents (single or multiple) are specified.
