(1) Format of report explanations

Reports are listed in alphabetical order.

Report name

Shows the name of the report in the monitoring template.

Synopsis

Provides a summary of the information that can be viewed in the report.

Location

Shows the location of the report.

Records

Shows the type of performance data records on which the report is based. Before you can display a historical report, you must set up the Performance Management to collect the records indicated here. Before displaying the report, display the agent properties in the Agents page of PFM - Web Console, and make sure that Log = Yes is set for these records. This setting is not required for the records in a real-time report.

Fields

Shows a table of the fields used in the report.

Drilldown reports (field level)

Shows a table of the reports in the monitoring template that are associated with the fields in the report. You can display these drilldown reports by clicking a graph, list, or table in the View Report window of PFM - Web Console. By displaying a drilldown report from a time item in a historical report, you can narrow down the time period of the data in the report. Only some reports have drilldown reports.

For details about drilldown reports, see the chapter that explains creation of reports for operation analysis in the JP1/Performance Management User's Guide.

The folder contents are as follows.

Status Reporting folder

Folder for reports with data aggregated every day or week, used for surveying general system trends.
Troubleshooting folder

Folder for reports with troubleshooting data, used for identifying the cause of problems that occur in the system.
- Real-Time folder
  
  Folder for real-time reports used to check the current system status.
- Recent Past folder
  
  Folder for historical reports with data aggregated for each minute of the past hour.

These folders might contain some of the following subfolders. Which of these folders appears depends on the parent folder. The subfolders are as follows:

Advanced folder

Folder for reports that use records for which the default setting of Log = No is set in the agent properties. To display the reports in this folder, you need to set Log = Yes for these records in PFM - Web Console.
Drilldown Only folder

Folder for reports displayed as drilldown report (field level) reports. These reports are used to display detailed information about fields in the parent report.

(4) System Overview (Historical)

Synopsis

The System Overview (Historical) report displays an overview of the health check results. You can use this report to check the operating status of each agent in table format, or view a line graph that shows how the status of each agent has changed over time. Because higher numerical values in the graph represent higher severity levels, you can visually check the source of any problems that might occur. By drilling down to another report, you can concentrate on a specific agent or host, or switch to a detailed report that describes the operating status of a specific agent.
