Different Options for a Report

martian_monster

Greetings -

So I have a boring old report that generates uptime data for our network infrastructure equipment. I created one base report and then modified it and created three different reports - 12 month uptime, Current Month uptime, and last month uptime.

Current report is designed to be easy to modify and change.  I used the dynamic query builder with a custom property for each locations network equipment and the report generates off the data from last month.

I was asked if there are any other ways to present this data.  I am thinking I could do something with Modern Dashboards or maybe something with more bright shiny objects.. Looking and open to suggestions. Thanks!

If it's bright and shiny you want, for management to go "ohh and Ahh" over, then modern dashboards are definitely the way to do it.

As an example, we run SolarWinds with multiple clients monitored/managed via it and so the "Top 10" is utterly meaningless. As soon as MD's came along, I was able to create client specific "Top 10" dashboards so they became relevant to that client.

I also built (cobbled together from various sources **) a MD just for management to swoon over - and here's a screenshot of part of it:
