I have not been able to figure this out. How can i run a report on the bandwidth utilization on a specific port on a specific switch on a specific time frame without having to custom script something? Thanks
Create a view with a custom chart resource selecting the interface you want as the data source.
I don't want to create a view. That would defeat the purpose of choosing your device.
Sounds like you are wanting self service reporting giving a user the ability to select objects/dates?
Correct. Is this something that i would have to customize?
Reports and date ranges
The way I have been doing this for years is just to set up SSRS and embed those reports in my orion system. Downside is that you basically throw away the native reporting and have to do everything in SQL. Plus side is that once you are good in SQL/SSRS you can make dynamic reports that are so much better than anything you can do with the built in methods, and most good sized companies probably have a business analyst or similar laying around who can do magic in SSRS, like mobile friendly, user driven reports with a nearly infinite number of fancy graphics and visualization tools.
