Viewing Reports

Collectors gather information for reports. If you stop a collector, its reports are not updated. If you are having difficulty viewing a report or you believe the report is not displaying the latest information, you might want to verify that a collector is running. See ”Viewing Report Collectors for an Element” on page 436 for more information.

In general, while reports are being populated they may contain no data or incomplete/incorrect data.
