Monitor Navigation

Monitor Navigation Menu

The Cisco PVM Generate Reports navigation menu categorizes monitoring and reports into suites. When the Monitor GUI opens, the system automatically runs the Overview report but hides the Generate Reports menu. Clicking the expand icon at the far left side of the Monitor GUI opens the Generate Reports menu (Figure 3-2), defaulted to Overview, with the report suite names displayed next to individual suite expansion icons. Clicking either the suite name (such as “Hosts”) or the expansion icon expands the list of reports available for that suite and hides the others.
