Options for Viewing Report Output

After a report is generated, you have several options for viewing and saving the output. These options include the following outputs:

• View a report as an HTML file in a browser. This option is helpful for printing the report.

• Post any saved reports as HTML files to a Sun Management Center server for others to view.

• Save the report in a tab-separated value or a comma-separated value (CSV) ASCII text file that can be used with other tools to analyze the data.
