Question about running very specific reports.

I'm trying to run a report on the folder sizes of a very specific directory. It is about 4 directories down from the root of our NAS. I can only find a report for 2 layers down, it will not let me be so specific on the directory I want for this report. Is it possible to make custom reports or somehow make this work?

Is this for NetApp? Were you able to create a directory rule and see the results you were looking for in the "Directory Rule Summary by Rule" report under the "Files" tab?

No I was not able to create a directory rule. In the storage manager console, I don't see a section that allows me to do so:

No, that's reports. I was referring to creating File Analysis/Directory Analysis rules as mentioned in these Product Blog Posts:

So you start by going to Settings->Files->Directory Analysis Rules. Once you've defined and saved your rule, you'll have to push your rule out to the agent via a Policy. The Policy should get pushed to the agent doing the monitoring of the NAS you'd like the analysis run on.

Is there anyway to do a folder analysis instead of a file analysis? The report I want is folder sizes of a specific directory.

So once the rule is created, it will be pushed to the server, then when can I run the report?
