5.7.1 Displaying reports

Tip

If report series paging is enabled, fields might be displayed over several pages in the View Report window. By default, 14 fields are displayed per page. You can navigate between pages by using the [Figure] , , , and buttons at the top of the lower frame.

For details on how to configure report series paging and the parameters you can set, see the chapter describing installation and setup in the JP1/Performance Management Planning and Configuration Guide.

For the following reports, you can change how each period of the report is displayed.

Report (historical report)
Combination report (historical report)
Event history

By using the buttons that control the report display period, you can display the next or previous set of data for a period of the same length. You can also use the Display report settings page to control the report display period even more precisely.

: Changes the display period to the previous time period of the same length.
: Moves the display period backward by half the length of the current display period.
: Moves the display period forward by half the length of the current display period.
: Changes the display period to the next time period of the same length.

For example, when a report shows data for one hour from 10:00 to 11:00, clicking each button changes the display period as follows:

: Displays data from 9:00 to 10:00
: Displays data from 9:30 to 10:30
: Displays data from 10:30 to 11:30
: Displays data from 11:00 to 12:00

If a report shows data for the 30 days from January 1st to 30th, clicking each button changes the display period as follows:

: Displays data from December 2nd to 31st
: Displays data from December 17th to January 15th
: Displays data from January 16th to February 14th
: Displays data from January 31st to March 1st

(1) Displaying a report by specifying a specific agent

From the monitoring console Web browser, log on to PFM - Web Console.

Notes:

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.
