I want to create a scheduled report to show a table and a chart that appear on a particular Node details screen, is this possible
Yes, you can. Simply select the node you would want to report on as your 'data source' for the report resource. I am assuming you are using the Web based reports available since NPM v10.7
I have tried selecting the node already but I can't see how I can reproduce the table and chart that is on the Node Details page on the report, the table and chart on the node details screen are using data from Universal Device Pollers.
Get the URL of the "particular Node details" screen you are referring to.
Create a new Web Based Report Schedule,
on the first screen look for the Assign webpage button under the "Reports Assigned" Section.
Insert your URL into the box.
Finish scheduling your report.
Which one specifically are you finding it to be a problem? To include a CPU chart for example, I can search for keyword 'CPU' and select one of the 'Node Charts' as shown below
The next step is to specify a data source. Select just the node for which you want to display the CPU chart, and the report would include a CPU chart just for the node selected.
Thanks, I will be able to use that when only requiring information on one node.
In this case as it turned out I needed some stats from 2 nodes, the stats being Universal Device Poller charts which are displayed on the node details screen for each of the nodes. I have worked out how to get the information I required as follows,
Custom Chart
Selection Method - Specific Object
Show - Custom Node Pollers <<<<<< This was what I wasn't selecting initially and made all the difference
Search For - ssl <<<<<< This was the first few letters of my Universal device poller
Select Poller
Left Y Axis - Add Data Series <<<<<<< Here I just selected one of the following Avg rate, Max Rate, Min Rate, Raw Status or Total
Further to this I had to select the period I was interested in, I scheduled it last week and got it to send out a PDF and it works great.
Thanks for every ones input on this.
