Custom Reports

There is one aspect of the reporting mechanism has been lacking for years and it's driven me crazy the entire time I've been a customer!  And that's the ability to be able to schedule a report that will display the charts shown the dashboard view.  Scheduled reports only currently display the data in a table form so even if I send this type of report to my co-worker, they will ask me why I couldn't provide a chart or graph.  For the love, please add this functionality into the scheduling mechanism.

Thanks for the comment, crossfiter14.  Scheduled reports can include graphics, but only those which are designed with graphs or graphics.  One such example is the "Port Statistics by SAN Switch" report.  However, you are correct - for custom reports, we only include the "raw" data set.  Have you seen Storage Dreaming - The Next Chapter for Storage Monitoring with SolarWinds ?  If this type of reporting is critical to your environment, I'd recommend that you sign up for the beta program.

I'd be happy to setup a call to get some information about your specific requirements.
