Drill-Down Capabilities

Cisco PVM reports display hyperlinks for linking one report to another. For example, from the Applications Report that displays a list of protocols in table rows, you can click on a Protocol hyperlink to access the Application Details report for that protocol. This section describes drill-down rules and design.

General Rules

Cisco PVM reports adhere to the following rules for hyperlink access among reports:

•Each time you see a Host IP address, you can drill down to the host details.

•Each application allows you to drill down to the application details.

•Each time you see a NAM name, you can click on the name to open a new window for the individual NAM GUI and automatically sign him in.

•Real-time charting drill-down: each time you see an “R” hyperlink, you can click on the “R” to open a new window to monitor this report row details graphed in real-time. Drill-down capability is available on both Data Source view and All NAM view, for all tabular reports.

•Trend Reports drill-down: each time you see a “T” hyperlink, you can click on the “T” to drill down to this report row details graphed against the selected time period. This drill-down capability is available for Data Source, All NAM, and Aggregated views for all tabular reports.

Table 3-3shows the Cisco PVM reports and the reports you can access through the available drill-down hyperlinks.
