Reports and text alignment

skaczkowski

All,

I'm playing around with the report writer and have a question with the formatting of the reports.

The report I've created is based off the 'Average/Peak Traffic Rate - This Month' with various additional fields,etc. Anyway, I broke my report down into:

Location
Device (Router)
Interface

So that the report shows the location the devices at that location, then each of the interfaces on the devices with the report showing the average utilization of those ports, like:

Milwaukee
router-1
s0/0 1.0Mbps 1.0Mbps 1.0Mbps


I get the information I'm looking for, but for some reason I can't get any of the columns to line up at all.

I've played around with the Alignment setting in the Field Formatting area which doesn't seem to do anything nor does it seem to do anything if I change the Column Width.

My interfaces have somewhat large descriptions in them (via Cisco description command) so could that be throwing it off even though I've set a maximum Column Width?

I'd like it to just throw the BPS stuff at the top WAYYYY over to the right so the numbers are to the right of my interfaces, now they're below them and it just doesn't make sense..

Thanks in advance!

Playing around a bit more I discovered a few things that I thought were interesting.

First off if I run the report via the Report Writer and export it the report it looks great, just as I expect it to.

But again, if I run the report via the web page (Or Report Generator) nothing lines up correctly. It seems that there is a limit or something set that won't allow the pages that are being generated to go over a certain width, I noticed this in all the existing canned reports too.

So, with that being said is there a way I can adjust the settings for page generation? I found a couple config files that appear to have something to do with it, but I'm not quite sure what I'm really looking for..

Thanks!
