112 Setting Thresholds and Drill-Downs
The DrillDown Editor dialog box lists the drill-down templates available
for the report component. Monitor ICR has rules that specify which
drill-down templates can be added to report components. Refer to
Table 9, earlier in this section, for a list of the drill-down rules.
The DrillDown Editor dialog box provides the following information:
Title Bar 1. The first title bar identifies the report component to
which you are adding drill-downs.
Title Bar 2. The second title bar identifies the types of drill-down
templates available for the report component. For example, an
enterprise service report component would display peripheral
service templates in the DrillDown Editor.
Template name. The names of the templates available for drill-
down. These are the same template names that appear in the
Template Launcher. The templates that appear in this list depend on
the rules in Table 9.
Description. Any comments that were entered when the template
was created to describe the purpose of the template.
Applying a Drill-Down Template
Be sure to choose a template from the DrillDown Editor that displays the
specific data you want to view. For example, if the report, or report
component, is a peripheral services Calls Status real-time graph, you
might want to set the drill-down template to be a Call Trend Analysis
graph. This would provide you with additional five-minute, half-hour,
and daily data for the routes associated with the peripheral service.
À To select a drill-down template:
1. With the DrillDown Editor displayed, click on a template in the list.
2. Click Apply to assign the new template to the selected report
component.
3. Click Done. The DrillDown Editor is closed and you are returned to
the report window.
You can apply one drill-down template to each report component. The
drill-downs you assign to a report component are applied to all the
elements in the component. For example, if you apply a drill-down
template to a bar graph that displays data for three peripheral services,
you can invoke a separate instance of that drill-down report for each of
the three peripheral services.
If a drill-down template is already applied to a report component, the
currently applied drill-down template is highlighted when you open the
DrillDown Editor.
