Executive or Chief Level reports

nikkormat42

I have been tasked with creating some high level reports.  I haven't had much luck with the canned reports so far.  Any ideas for high level reporting other than past history availability reports?  I was thinking about throwing in some items like 'Total Bytes Transferred Last Month' from Netlfow and perhaps the "Response Time from last Month".

We have a crystal reports server that we could use to plug into the Solarwinds DB.  Has anyone generated any Crystal Reports?

Thanks!

If you use the Crystal Reports runtime there are many built in reports that would do this, but it all depends on the logs you monitor, who the reports are for, and why they need them.  Often, reports like 'Total Bytes Transferred Last Month' and 'Response Time from last Month' are completely meaningless unless your troubleshooting an issue.
