Ops Center Analyzer allows you to create your own reports for monitoring capacity and configuration data.
Public and Private reports
Ops Center Analyzer supports creating public and private report types:
- Built-in reports: Ops Center Analyzer provides a collection of default reports that are referred to as built-in reports. Built-in reports cannot be edited.
- Public reports: Public reports can be accessed by all users. Only the system account user can create, edit, or delete public reports. Other users have only view access.
- Private reports: Private reports are accessible only by the users who create them. Users with admin or modify permissions can create, edit, and delete private reports.
User permissions for creating custom reports
Ops Center Analyzer user roles and permissions for creating custom reports are as follows:
- System: A system account user can create, edit, and delete public reports.
- Admin or Modify: A user with admin or modify permissions can create, edit, and delete custom reports created for private access. In addition to the default reports, these users can also view the public reports created by the system account user.
Custom report creation methods
Create a custom report using any of following methods:
- By entering a query: Write a query to create a report. For information about how to write a query, see the Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer Detail View Query Language User Guide. For information about capacity and configuration attributes, see the Hitachi Ops Center Analyzer Detail View Metrics Reference Guide.
- By using a report template: Select a report template and customize the report definitions to create a new report. A system account user can access the private report templates created by users with admin or modify permissions. In addition to the built-in report templates, users with admin or modify permissions can access the public report templates created by the system account user.
Custom report format
View your report data in the following formats:
- Line graphs display the data trends over a selected time period. Create combination graphs using the primary and secondary y-axis and a common x-axis. Use the combination graphs to display data for one or more data series.
- Table graphs display data in tabular format for the selected metrics over a selected time period.
Custom report preview
Preview the report before publishing and make necessary modifications.
Custom report notification
When a system account user creates a new custom report, other users are notified by the following methods:
- On the Dashboard tab, the New status indicator appears next to the Dashboard Settings button.
- In the Dashboard Settings window, under Reports, you can view the newly added reports marked as New.
