About Reporter
Reporter provides a variety of detailed reports, such as dependency, event, and utilization reports for discovered elements. To view a report, click a report name in the tree in Reporter. The selected report appears in the right pane.
IMPORTANT: If the message The report does not contain any data is displayed, verify that the collector for the report is running. You may also want to verify that a collector is running if you believe the report is not displaying the latest information. Since data collectors gather the information for reports, if the collector is not running, its reports are not updated. See ”Managing Collectors for Reports” on page 203.
Available Reports
The management server provides reports that display performance information in a variety of formats:
•HTML (Default) - The software displays the report in a Web page by default.
•PDF - The software displays the report in Adobe Acrobat, a good option if you need to print the report. The software assumes you already have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed on your computer. To obtain a copy of Adobe Acrobat Reader, go to http://www.adobe.com.
