110 Setting Thresholds and Drill-Downs
5.1.2. Saving Threshold Settings
You must save the report in order for the threshold settings to be saved
in the report definition. If you close the report without saving it, the
threshold settings will be lost.
À To save the threshold settings:
Choose File→Save in the Monitor ICR window or click on the Save
button. The next time you open the report, the thresholds will be in place
and enabled.
5.2. Using Drill-Downs in ReportsThe DrillDown Editor lets you add another level of detail to a report.
The details are in the form of an additional report template, which you
can launch from within the current report. For example, if you are
viewing a report about an enterprise service, you might want to “drill
down” to see more data from the enterprise service’s component
peripheral services. The DrillDown Editor allows you to get this kind of
detail quickly and easily from within a report window simply by
double-clicking on a data attribute in the report.
You can also save drill-downs as separate reports. Once a drill-down
report is displayed on the screen, it can be saved like other Monitor ICR
reports. In this way, you can create a new report from within the current
report without having to return to the Template Launcher and generate
the report from scratch.
A report that is generated through the DrillDown Editor retains the date
and time options of the report from which it was launched. However, the
drill-down report does not retain the original report’s category and scope
options. If you save the drill-down as a separate report, you can change
the category, scope, and date and time options by using the Definition
Editor.
5.2.1. Drill-Down Hierarchy
Table 9 summarizes the rules for assigning drill-downs to reports. The
hierarchy specifies which drill-down templates are available from
specific types of Monitor ICR reports. For example, from an enterprise
service real-time report, you can choose drill-downs from a list of
peripheral service real-time templates.
