The Add Report Template wizard creates a report template for use in running reports about key data points.
About this task
NOTE The number of physical capacity measurement samples that are presented by the DDMC is typically different from the number of samples that are shown by the DDOS. DDMC displays more samples because it does not do any pruning on physical capacity measurement samples. The DDOS prunes historical physical capacity measurement samples for MTrees, Tenant Units, and Tenants daily and keeps the distribution of historical samples for no more than one sample per hour for the last 90 days, then no more than 1 per day for the last year, then no more than 1 per week for the last 10 years.
Steps
Select
Reports > Management.
Select Add (green plus sign).
In the Add Report Template dialog, select the type of report you want (System Reports, Multi-Tenancy Reports, or Cloud Reports), and select
Next.
Enter a name, and select a Template. Choose one or more Sections to include, and select
Next.
For System, the choices are Capacity, Replication, or Status.
The
Hide capacity projection data checkbox will appear after a
Template is selected from the dropdown. Selecting this checkbox hides the projection data from the report.
For Multi-Tenancy, the choices are Status or Usage.
For Cloud Tier, the choices are Status or Usage.
Depending on whether you selected System, Multi-Tenancy or Cloud Tier:
System: Select a filter to narrow the scope of reported objects (for example, filter by selected groups). Select the time span for data collection (for example, last 24 hours), and the report retention (for example, 7 days). Select
Edit to set a schedule for the frequency and time the report is run. Report generation time will be two hours ahead of
Starts On time. Select
Next.
Multi-Tenancy: Select a Scope (Tenant Unit or
Tenant). The Daily Status report is always configured to show the last 24 hours of historical data, and you can select the Report retention (Forever, 7 days, 30 days, 90 days). The Usage Metrics report (which is generated as an Excel spreadsheet) lets you display data for a full month or a full week. Select
Edit to set a schedule for the frequency and time the report is run. Report generation time will be two hours ahead of
Starts On time.
Cloud Tier Reports: Select
Cloud Service Providers to filter the systems that have cloud tier that is configured to connect to them.
Optionally, add recipient email addresses (for when the report completes and if an error occurs). For the Tenant Unit report template, the Tenant Unit admin email messages are added by default. For the Tenant report template, the Tenant admin email is added by default. You can manually add or remove these email messages. Select
Next.
Review the details, and select whether to save the template for later use and to run the report immediately. Select
Finish.
