Using Reports
The Reports tab displays information about your devices. You can save and email reports. You can also set specific times for emailed reports to be run and sent automatically.
The reports available are dependent on the groups of devices and individual devices you choose from the selector in the left pane.
Following are the subtabs under Reports:

The WLSE also has a feature that allows the system administrator, with the username admin, to manually enter a URL in the WLSE to export report data, rather than using the UI export function. For information, see Exporting URL-Based Report Data.
Using the Device Center
The device center enables you to quickly access various types of reports for a particular device.
The search results, as well as the folders in the device selector, display icons indicating the alarm status of the devices. For an explanation of the icons, see Understanding the Icons.

The frequency with which performance data is aggregated can be selected at the time you run the report. To change the default setting for the length of time the data is saved, see Managing System Parameters.
There may be instances in which the data points on a graph do not appear at the interval you set. This occurs because the graph's contents are summarized when the space needed to show all the data is not available in the specified graph size. For example for a given date range, if there are 100 data points and only 25 can be plotted, the x-axis will be plotted for every 4th point.
