I'd like to customize the Historical Volume Usage report so that i have a totals field at the end of each disk space breakdown. How do i create a field that would pull from each volume information?
Did you ever get an answer to this? We are trying to do the same thing. I would hate to have to write a custom SQL query.
I apologize for being a little slow but I'm confused about what you're looking to do. What exactly would the totals field represent?
We want to get an Enterprise view of our storage growth to report to senior executives. We have a diverse storage architecture thus were trying to get a picture from the systems we are monitoring in NPM. The example below shows the currently monitored systems reporting for week 21 - Disk Size, Disk Space Used, Peak Disk Space Used. This was done using the summarization by week feature in the Report Writer. The issue I have is I want a total for all of the systems, basically one row per week, of any field I want to choose. I know I can take the report and process it through a spreadsheet, but then I have to do that EVERY time we want to present such numbers. I want to know that I have 200 TB in Disk Size available, 140 TB Used, and 155 TB Peak for week 21 and then in week 22 200 TB, 145 TB, and 160 TB, and so on. So I can trend across the enterprise.

There is no way to accomplish what you're asking for as far as I can tell. I even pinged our DBA about this. One suggestion would involve "hacking" the NetPerfMon database to include a new view but then 1) you'd have to update this view everytime you wanted the total (or any other mass calcuation) for another field and 2) more importantly, it would clearly not be supported by SolarWinds. Perhaps this could turn into a new feature request for the report writer?
Do you want this across all hard drives monitored by NPM?
