Grouping Elements for Reports

Once the discovery process is completed and required changes are made, the newly discovered elements (DLCIs) should be organized into a group for Health reporting. Grouping makes for easier monitoring and management of similar node types (e.g., all FLEX and SLV elements). Once grouped, you can then run reports on all DLCIs in the network, as well as reports on individual DLCIs.

"Procedure

To group elements:

1.From the console, select Edit Groups from the Reports menu. The Add Groups dialog box opens.

2.Enter a name in the Group Name field. Up to 64 characters can be entered. A through Z, a through z, 0 through 9, dashes (±), periods (.), and underscores ( _ ) can be used. No spaces can be included, and the word All cannot be used.

3.Select the WAN radio button (above the Available Elements list).

4.Highlight all the DLCIs listed on the Available Elements list, or select specific DLCIs, then select the left arrow button.

The highlighted DLCIs move from the Available Elements list to the Group Members list.

5.Select the OK button when all appropriate DLCIs have been moved to the Group Members list.

The Add Groups dialog box closes and the newly created group appears on the Groups dialog box.

See Managing Groups and Group Lists in the Network Health Reports Guide for additional information. That chapter also tells you how to customize reports.
