  • Simply printing a customized view may be a step closer to a solution, but is by no means a solution. There are far too many other customizations that are required that you cannot easily control in a custom view. Arranging the charts and data tables on the page is way too cumbersome like that - if at all possible in most…

  • mpottage: I wish I could post a Crystal template here for you, but really it's quite a simple report to make. In Crystal, create the chart and data for each node/device you want to report on and save them seperately. Then create a new, blank report and import the ones you created earlier onto that one and organize them top…

  • Crystal Reports made it fairly easy to create that report by gathering data from the Orion SQL database.... If you're trying it out, feel free to ask me any questions regarding the setup steps.... if you're familiar with creating reports in Crystal, you're already many steps ahead of me! The reports I created in Crystal…

  • I can only imagine how many potential customers have gone the other way when they've found out how poorly SW handles reports..... but after a few weeks of struggling with Crystal Reports (hey, I was almost a complete newbie at it) I was able to generate some decent reports. It's still really cumbersome compared to what SW…

  • I don't think I (or anyone else who has searched and found this thread) could agree more...well said Stacy. Personally, I'm surprised SolarWinds didn't opt to have Crystal Reports integrated with it's products from day 1. After finally getting some reports out of Crystal after wrestling with it for close to a month, I'm…

  • I'm having this exact same problem - had to change the IP address on the Orion server and now the website doesn't load after logging in.... it gets as ASP error which I noticed has the old IP in it still.... where am I missing the IP change?

  • It blows my mind how such a robust application with all that rich and detailed database information doesn't provide a sufficient reporting system. Even programs of this type that are less than half as detailed, can generate reports that have both graphs and data on the same page.... forcing users of SW to customize their…

  • Bump.. I'm wrestling with Crystal Reports now too. We need some pretty reports and i'm a bit of a newbie in Crystal.... can anyone share some templates they've been using or have created? TIA!

    in custom view: group of interfaces Comment by Dayzt March 2009
  • ....let me expand on this question. I've notice that the charts in the System Manager are much more customizable - Is there a way to bring custom poller charts into the System Manager in order to further customize them? I can only see the defualt charts in there which Solarwinds comes pre-packaged with...
