Streamline Reporting

I think the reporting capabilities of LEM could be significantly streamlined by doing the following...

  • Remove the reporting tool completely
  • Have all reporting done using the nDepth reports/searches/exports
    • Add the ability for scheduling here
    • Add the ability to send the alerts as PDF's via email

By doing this the reporting would be moved to the web interface and remove the hassle of having an additional application that you need to work with.

Would really love to hear what others would think about this!

  • The main problem we've had with LEM Reports is not being able to create custom reports without investing in Crystal Reports, this should be a lot easier than it currently is.  The OOtB reports are fine, I like the options and formatting, but working in a multi-domain environment makes it very difficult to create custom reports for each separate report without installing a separate manager for each domain.  (Note: I've found a workaround for creating custom reports but this is still clunky and time consuming and not good enough for an enterprise class product.)  Here's what I would ask:

    1. Make it much easier to create/schedule and run custom reports with Solarwinds LEM, especially for customers running multi-domain environments.

    2. Extend the nDepth export function to enable selecting specific fields to export (rather than all fields) as well as allowing PDF.

    Keep up the great work!
