Performance Report Fields

There are three report fields that are found only in a performance report template:

• Function

• Time Range

• Graph Orientation

The other possible fields available for this type of report are as described in Common Custom Report Fields.

Function

The Function field controls the type of data that appears in the report. Select the type of data you want from the drop-down menu. For more information about how data is collected, see Data Collection Process. The following list describes the function choices:

• Raw – The raw data logged on the agent machine is returned. Raw data is logged according to the time interval specified in the Property Logging Setting dialog box for each data property. The Raw option is available only for these standard time ranges: Last 4 Hours, Last 24 Hours, Last 3 Days, and Real Time. If the Raw option is chosen for a custom time range, a maximum of three days of raw data is available.

• Maximum – The maximum value of the most granular level of data available in the database is returned.

• Average – The average value of the most granular level of data available in the database is returned.

• Minimum – The minimum value of the most granular level of data available in the database is returned.

Time Range

This field determines the time span of the report. The following list describes the time range choices:

• Standard: Select a predefined time range from the drop-down menu. Choose from the following time ranges:

  • Last 4 Hours – The range starts from the current hour to minus four hours.

  • Last 24 Hours – The range starts from the current hour to minus 24 hours.

  • Last 3 Days – The range starts from 12:00 a.m. three days before the current date to 11:59 p.m. the day before the current date.

  • Last 7 Days – The range starts from 12:00 a.m. seven days before the current date to 11:59 p.m. the day before the current date.

  • Last Calendar Week – The range starts from 12:00 a.m. Sunday of the previous week to 11:59 p.m. of the following Saturday.

  • Last Calendar Month – The range starts from 12:00 a.m. of the first day of the last month to 11:59 p.m. of the last day of the last month.

  • Real Time – The range starts from the current day and time and goes forward. This option is only available when the Function selection is Raw.

• Custom: Use this option to define your own time range. First click Edit, then type a Date and Time Range in the Time Range dialog box. The From and To fields contain drop-down menus from which you make your selections.

Graph Orientation

If you selected Line Graph or Bar Chart as the output mode, you must choose the desired orientation of the graphs in the report. The following list describes the graph orientation options:

• One Host, Many Data Properties – A separate graph for each host included in the report is displayed. Each graph shows all the data properties for that host. Each data property is shown as a separate line or bar on the graph. Each line or bar is distinguished by either its color, its symbol, or both. The legend for the graph identifies which color or symbol is being used for each data property in the report. The host name is listed at the top of each graph.

• One Data Property, Many Hosts – A separate graph for each data property included in the report is displayed. Each graph includes a separate line or separate bar for every host in the report. Each line is distinguished by either its color, or its symbols, or both. The legend for the graph identifies which color or symbol is being used for each host in the report. The data property is listed at the top of each graph.

• All Hosts and Data Properties on One Graph – Only one graph is displayed. All hosts and data properties in the report are included. Each line or bar is distinguished by either its color, its symbol, or both. The legend for the graph identifies which color or symbol is being used to identify each host and data property in the report.
