You can schedule a report to be generated at a time and frequency that you specify.
To generate a particular report on a regular basis, create a schedule for generating that report on the Reporting Schedules page.
- From the System tab, navigate to .
- Select .
- Enter a name for your schedule in the Schedule Name field.
If you do not provide a name, the system uses the default name
untitled.
Note: The name you enter is for your use in identifying the schedule listed in the Reporting Schedules. For example, if you want to run a weekly report on storage use, you enter weeklystorageuse as the schedule name to help locate that report. When a report is generated, the system automatically creates a name for the report. The name the system creates is based on the report type, (for example StorageUse_1374861600286), not the name you assigned to the report schedule. The report name is displayed in the Generated Reports name column.
- Select the type of report you want to generate from the Report Type menu.
Choose one of:
- SAN Hosts
- Storage Performance
- Storage Use
- Storage Use per Volume
- System Configuration
- System Configuration Summary
- (Optional) Select Enabled if you would like your schedule to start as soon as the schedule is created.
If you do not enable your schedule now, you can do so at a later time by modifying the schedule.
- Click the expansion button to the right of Start Time to select the day and time for your schedule to start.
- Use the controls in the Modify Date/Time dialog to select the date and time.
- Select a frequency for your schedule:
- Run Once
- Hourly
- Daily
- Weekly
- Select a recurrence value for your schedule.
If the schedule frequency is Weekly, specify to generate the report every one, two, three, or four weeks, and on which day of the week to generate the report. Select multiple days to generate the report on more than one day during each week.
- Click OK.
Your schedule is listed on the Reporting Schedules page. If you enabled the schedule, the scheduled report is listed on the Generated Reports page when the report is generated.
