From the Parameters pane shown select the appropriate DSG, view and report type and the time frame for which to run the report. Then select the appropriate report to run from the Generate Reports menu and Cisco PVM displays report.

Note:

1.After login, Cisco PVM automatically displays the Monitoring Tab and runs the Network Overview Report for the first DSG it finds. If the DSG has not been created, a popup asking you to create a DSG is displayed.

2.Cisco PVM also optimizes the report for the available screen size. To display the entire report, Cisco PVM automatically minimizes the Generate Reports menu and the Parameters pane. When you click the arrows on the panes, the display toggles and the panes become visible.

3.Every time you click a report, the Generate Reports menu and the Parameters pane are minimized. Also, every time you click the Monitoring tab, the panes are minimized and a report is automatically launched.

4.When you change the selections in the parameter pane, especially the DSG parameter, it can take a second or more to load the other parameters specific to that DSG.

5.When you select the Switch/Router report suite in the Generate Reports menu, sometime you may see a popup error message which says no data available. The DSG dropdown lists all the Switch/Router type DSGs and since Cisco PVM automatically chooses the first DSG in the list, sometimes the DSG may contain datasources which do not support the report chosen (For ex: the first DSG contains ISR datasources and the report chosen is the Ethernet Traffic report. In this case, select the appropriate DSG from the list.

6.A similar situation may be encountered with the VLAN report suite. Cisco PVM lists all Switch/Router DSGs and the first DSG for which Cisco PVM auto launches the report might not have any VLANs. Here, again, select the appropriate DSG from the list.

Aggregation Schemes

Cisco PVM allows the user to view the data gathered for the datasources in a DSG in three different ways. These aggregation schemes are:
