5.3.3 Setting the name and type of a report

  1. In the New Report > Name and Type window, set Report name and Product.

    Report name

    Enter a report name of 64 or fewer single or double-byte characters. You can enter a report name that contains single and double-byte characters.

    Product

    Select the data model version to be used.

    For example, to define a realtime report of the top ten processes whose CPU usage ratio is high, whose Agent is PFM - Agent for Platform (Windows), and whose data model version is 6.0, specify the following settings:

    Report name: CPU Usage - Top 10 Processes

    Product: Windows(6.0)

  2. Select Report type.

    Report type has the following three types:

    • Realtime (Single Agent)

      This is a realtime report for displaying the status of the system at that time. The report collects and displays the data of a single agent at that time, ranks collected values, and displays these rankings. However, past data is not stored in the Store database, so you cannot retrieve and display such data. Realtime (Single Agent) reports handle single-instance and multi-instance records.

    • Historical (Single Agent)

      This is a historical report for collecting and displaying the data of a single agent. A report is displayed in a single View Report window for a single agent. If you select multiple agents, as many View Report windows as selected agents are displayed. Historical (Single Agent) reports handle single-instance and multi-instance records.

    • Historical (Multiple Agents)

      This is a historical report for collecting and displaying the data of multiple agents. A single View Report window is displayed regardless of whether one or more agents are selected. Historical (Multiple Agents) reports handle single-instance records only.

      If this item is selected, you cannot select multi-row records (multi-instance records) in the next New Report > Field window.

    The default is Realtime (Single Agent).

    For details on single-instance records and multi-instance records, see the chapter that describes the Performance Management functions in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

  3. Click the Next > button.

    The New Report > Field window appears. Go to 5.3.4 Setting fields displayed in a report.

Note: Data model version and compatibility

The contents of the data model might vary according to the version, but upward compatibility is guaranteed. Therefore, if you create a report using an old data model, you can display a report in PFM - Agent or PFM - RM of a newer data model. For example, a report created in PFM - Agent for Platform Windows (3.0) can display the data of any version of PFM - Agent for Platform (Windows), but a report created in PFM - Agent for Platform Windows (4.0) can only display the data of version 07-00 and later of PFM - Agent for Platform (Windows). Depending on the PFM - Agent or PFM - RM, you can select multiple data model versions. For details on data model versions and compatibility, see the description of the compatibility among data model versions in an appendix of the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

Note: When selecting a historical report

As a historical report uses past data, you must specify that the records of the monitoring performance data be recorded into the Store database. Make sure that the monitoring records have been set up to be recorded. For details on how to record the data into the Store database, see 4.1.1 Modifying the recording options for performance data.
