The HTML is output in UTF-8 encoding, ignoring the character set and linefeed code settings in the section of the config.xml file that describes the export format.

Note: Each time you choose the Print menu, a new window opens. Any print windows that have already been opened continue to display the same data. The print windows close when you close the parent window.

#2: The columns appear in the table in the order in which they are defined in the report definition, with the exception of the Date and Time field. When the Date and Time field is not defined, it is added at the left of the table. When defined, the Date and Time field appears at the position defined in the report definition.

If there are 0 items of data or the agent has stopped, only the report header area is output.

The HTML is output in UTF-8 encoding, ignoring the character set and linefeed code settings in the section of the config.xml file that describes the export format.

The following figure shows an example of outputting a report in HTML format using a command.
