Orion Dynamic Reports with Drop-Down Variable Options

When I create a report for one of my 100 locations, I have to duplicate it 100 times just for some minor adjustment to query for a different site.  Rather than filling up my report list and wasting my time doing it, it would be great if we could click on the report then have the option to modify a "dynamic variable" that's linked to something within the report.  For example the dropdown might be Chicago-Router, Boston-Router, Denver-Router etc..  Then I can run the report on that specific router.  The applications for this would be endless.  This would also allow people not fully in tune with Solarwinds products to simply run a report without me having to customize a report for every location or them having to build it when they don't know how.

  • I'd prefer a proper reporting database instead with a published schema. We can then move the historical data out of the operational databse and use standard reporting tools. Putting effort into producing a non-core product [the report writer] when there are other companies doing a better job does not seem like a good long-term strategy to me,
