Getting Started with History Reports
Alert and Event History reports and Service Quality History reports enable you to view alerts and events that occurred during the past 31 days. The available information includes alert status and date, related device and device components, annotations (informational text you entered), and event details. Operations Manager purges the Alert History database daily to retain only 31 days of history; see Viewing Purge Scheduler Status, page 19-13.
Note
Service Quality History is useful only if you have purchased a license for Cisco Unified Service Monitor (Service Monitor). For more information, see User Guide for Cisco Unified Service Monitor.

Reports with More than 2,000 Records
The Alert History and Event History reports display up to 2,000 records that you can scroll or page through. If your report exceeds 2,000 records and you want to view all of them, use the Export tool button to save all of the information to a CSV or PDF file.
Getting Started with Alert and Event History
You can generate 24-hour context-based reports from various Operations Manager pages, such as the Topology display. You can also generate customized history reports for which you supply the search criteria and set the date range. You can generate Event History reports for devices and device components. You can also export 24-hour and 7-day reports automatically.
24-Hour Context-Based Alert and Event History Reports
On various Operations Manager pages, such as the Alerts and Events display, you can select Alert History or Event History links or menu items. When you click an Alert History or Event History link, you generate a context-based report that displays relevant history records:
•
For which you do not need to enter search criteria.
•
For the past 24 hours.
You can also generate customized Alert History and Event History reports for a time period that you select and include records based on search criteria that you specify. Alert History and Event History reports include the same type of information whether you generate context-based or customized reports.
You can generate 24-hour context-based history reports from various Operations Manager pages. For example, from:
•
Service Level View—You can launch an Alert History report for a device.
•
Phone Activity display—You can launch a Service Quality Event History report for a phone model.
Note
Operations Manager stores Service Quality event history if you have purchased a license for Service Monitor. For more information, see User Guide for Cisco Unified Service Monitor.
Customized Alert History and Event History Reports
You might want to generate an Alert History report or an Event History report when:
•
A significant alert is shown in the Alerts and Events display, and you want to see how often the alert has been generated in the last month.
•
You receive an e-mail notification that an unusual event has occurred.
•
You want to search for information on events and alerts other than those you are tracking in your customized Alerts and Events display.
You can generate an Event History report to gather information on:
•
All events that caused an alert.
•
Events that occurred on components of a device.
•
Occurrences of the same event on different devices.
Exporting 24-Hour and 7-Day Alert and Event History Reports
Use this procedure to automatically generate 24-hour Alert and Event History reports daily at midnight and 7-day Alert and Event History reports weekly at midnight on Monday. You can generate these reports in comma separated value (CSV) and PDF format, save them on disk, and e-mail them.
Step 1
Select Reports > Alert and Event History > Export. The Automatically Export Alert and Event Reports page appears.
Step 2
For each report that you want to generate, select one or more report formats:
•
CSV—Saves the report as a comma-separated-values file.
•
PDF—Saves the report in portable document format.
Reports that you can generate are:
•
All alerts for the last 24 hours—24-hour reports are named AlertReports_Daily_ddmmyyyy.filetype, for example AlertReports_Daily_20Apr2006.csv
•
All alerts for the last 7 days—7-day reports are named AlertReports_Weekly_ddmmyyyy.filetype, for example AlertReports_Weekly_17Apr2006.pdf. 7-day reports run weekly on Monday at midnight.
•
All events for the last 24 hours—24-hour reports are named EventReports_Daily_ddmmyyyy.filetype, for example EventReports_Daily_20Apr2006.csv.
•
All events for the last 7 days—7-day reports are named EventReports_Weekly_ddmmyyyy.filetype, for example EventReports_Weekly_17Apr2006.pdf. 7-day reports run weekly on Monday at midnight.
Step 3
Enter one or more locations to store or send the report:
•
If you want to store the reports on disk, enter (or browse to and select) a location on the server.
Note
Casuser and administrator have write permissions in the default directory. If you change the directory, make sure that the directory has write permission for casuser. If you do not, the export files will not be created.
•
If you want to e-mail the reports, enter a fully qualified e-mail address.
Step 4
Click Apply.
Generating Customized Alert and Event History Reports
To gather historical information on alerts and events in the past 31 days, start Alert and Event History from the Operations Manager home page by selecting Reports > Alert and Event History. The following topics explain how you can apply filters and generate reports based on all information stored in the Alert History database:
•
To search for alerts by alert ID, device, or group, see Getting All Stored Information on an Alert.
