Disk Space Percent Available

In the picture below I show a report I've created and the default report shown for node information. Basically I created mine because I wanted the one shown to show more calculations on disk stats, other than just space used and size. I'm happy with my report except I wish there were a visual indicator of disk space left percentage like the default report has. So my two options/questions are:

1. Can we insert that visual graph into our reports?

2. Can the default report they use have columns added to it?

Thanks.

Have you seen these Orion blog posts?

Hi Sorry, I think there's a misunderstanding. I'm talking about getting those green/yellow/red bars into the report that I display in an Orion View. Though getting them into a pdf or email report would be great, that's not really what I'm asking for. I'm also not trying to take the canned report SW provides (the bottom of the two above). I'm trying to take just the colored bars into my custom report.

I've adjusted Microsoft paint to fudge what it would look like in my custom report.

Questionario

yea, I've made that feature request as well to add bars, formatting, etc. to reports so you can make your custom reports look exactly like the ones orion provides...

if they would do that, graphs and fix the issue of advanced sql reports not being able to be filtered in the resource/view settings would make this perfect... that way there would be no limits to customization of the WebUI

EDIT: forgot to add, you currently cannot do this... all you can do is have a colored ball (up/warning/down) next to the drive to indicate the status, the bar you cannot add though!

MrSampsonite

cool. good to see it's a request. if you point to it for me, i'll add my support.

Why not deliver this page/resource as a report. You can send as HTML or with 10.1 send as PDF

MrSampsonite

There are times/places for reports, yes. I don't disagree. However, I live in ORION. Not in emailed reports. I need realtime data to support our infrastructure. I find the things like bars and charts to be very helpful as I am a visual person. The ability to put those things in reports would be great for snapshots. But it would be even better to build reports to have all the info we need in all visual methods. I'm used to many tools out there that use graphs and bars and pictures to display current states and what I'm asking is that somehow they take the pieces they've put into their pre-built reports into resources that we can use. They do this already with graphs. We choose the range and period, etc and they can show us a graph. While it's not my favorite type of graph, it works. I'm simply asking that they expose that piece to reports. Many Upper executives are visual too. You show them a spreadsheet of data and ask if they can tell when the issue occured within 2 seconds of glancing and they can't tell you when. But show them a 24 hour period and see the big gap in the data or spike at 6pm and they can say "wow right before the server crashed the disk stats tanked." And in small businesses like ours, the CEO, CTO, and myself all look at these things in real time because we're that involved (we're an IT company where performance is critical).
