6.Select the Custom Query button to generate and display the report. The report appears after a few moments.

CAUTION

Allow several minutes for charts to appear. Although the Content frame may update fairly quickly, charts can take several minutes to tabulate and form the image. Do not initiate another report request until the current one has completed.

To view other time ranges, or to see a wider (zoom out) or narrow (zoom in) range of time, modify the start and end dates in the custom report form.

Report Formats

Chart and text reports present essentially the same data in very different ways. You can use each report format to suit your specific reporting needs. Chart reports give a graphical presentation of data. Text reports give the basic data in a simple table with no customization options after the report has been created.

Charts

Chart reports present the data with the attribute values (vertical axis) over a specified time span (horizontal axis). The types of chart reports available are detailed below. If the numbers in the chart represent a volume portion (such as the percentage of memory being used), the area under bars is shaded. If the numbers represent exact values (such as the number of system restarts), the bars appear as a simple line with no shading.
