Wingz Report and Summary Report
CWM Statistics Reports are generated through a graphical reporting package based on the Informix
Wingz Report application. CWM also provides node utilization reports not based on Wingz. These
reports are obtained through the Summary Report application. Both the Wingz Rep o rt an d th e
Summary Report applications provide a point-and-click graphical user interface to generate reports
based on information collected by the Statisti cs Agen ts. For each re port, th e user ident ifies cert ain
criteria, such as network obje ct, ty pe o f stat is t ics, granularity, report interval, and graph ica l f o rm at,
depending on the Report appl ic ation selected. For the Wingz Rep ort, th e r ep o rt ag en t queries the
Informix database and generates a report in the desired format, such as line, bar, 3D, or tabular chart.
