Generating Custom Reports by Template

You can generate reports based on a selected template or you can schedule the report to run at a specified time.

To generate a report or to schedule a report using Fabric Manager Web Server, follow these steps:

  1. Select a SAN, fabric, or VSAN on which to base the report.
  2. Choose Custom > Generate.
  3. Choose a report template from the Available drop-down list.
  4. Optional - Change the name of the report. By default, report names are based on the date and time generated.
  5. Optional - Deselect the Use Scope from Template check box to override the scope defined by the filter type.
  6. Click Generate to generate a report based on this template.

After a moment, you see the report results in a new browser window. You also can view the report by choosing Custom > View and selecting the report name from the report template you used in the navigation pane.

  1. Click Schedule to schedule a report based on this template. You see the schedule panel.
  2. In the schedule panel, specify the scheduled run time and how often you want the report to run.
  3. Enter a name for the report in the Job Name field and click Create Job to save the report.

You can view the scheduled jobs on the Scheduled Jobs page but once the scheduled jobs have started running, they are removed from the Scheduled Job table.
