System Reporter 2.8

5.3.4.1 Standard Report Types

The following standard report types are available (Table 5-6):

Table 5-6.Standard Report Types

Report Type

Purpose

 

 

Versus Time

Display metrics versus time. The beginning of the time range is

 

specified by the Begin/At Time control (see Begin/At Time on

 

page 5.31) and the end of the time range is specified by the End

 

Time control (see on page 5.31).

 

Unless the Compare control is available and set to something

 

other than none, the Versus Time report shows aggregate

 

metrics for all the selected objects over a range of time. See

 

Figure 5-6. Versus Time Report Example on page 5.20 for an

 

example.

 

If the Compare control (see section 5.3.4.3 Compare on

 

page 5.25) is set to a specific object, then the Versus Time

 

report plots the metrics separately for each of up to 16 of the

 

objects so that they can be compared. Figure 5-7. Versus Time

 

with Compare=System Report Example on page 5.21 shows an

 

example where the performance of systems is being compared.

 

 

At Time

Display metrics at the time specified by the Begin/At Time

 

control (see Begin/At Time on page 5.31). For this type of report,

 

the Group By (see section 5.3.4.5 Group By on page 5.25) and

 

Order By (see section 5.3.4.6 Order By on page 5.28) controls are

 

enabled and can be used to compare different groupings of

 

object type. Figure 5-8. Group By System:Host At Time Report

 

Example on page 5.22 shows an example of an example with

 

System and Host selected in the Group By control and IOPs/s

 

selected in the Order By control.
