The remote site is not required to have global reporting enabled in its license.

If you want data from the Global Reporter server included in global reports, add the local management server. Enter localhost as an IP Address/DNS name for your local management server.

6.Click OK.

7.When you are done, click OK.

The management server verifies that it can contact the site and it checks the build of the management server the site is running. The management server then adds the site to its list for global reporting.

If you click Set after the time you specified has passed, you must reset the time. The time and date you selected are displayed in the Next Scheduled Run box.

11.Set up a repeat interval by typing a number in the Repeat Interval box and selecting a unit of measurement. For example, if you want the Global Reporter server to check the views of sites daily, you would enter 1 in the Repeat Interval box and select day(s) as a unit.

IMPORTANT: You must select a repeat interval that is 12 hours or more.

12.When you are done, click Save Changes.

13.To obtain information immediately, click Refresh Now (Available on the Global Reporter tab, which you access from Reports > Storage Essentials > Report Configuration ).
