Managing Reports

Cisco Prime Infrastructure reporting is necessary to monitor the system and network health as well as troubleshoot problems. A number of reports can be generated to run on an immediate or a scheduled basis. Each report type has a number of user-defined criteria to aid in defining the reports. The reports can be formatted as a summary, tabular, or combined (tabular and graphical) layout. After they have been defined, the reports can be saved for future diagnostic use or scheduled to run on a regular basis.

Reports are saved in either CSV or PDF format and are either saved to a file on Prime Infrastructure for later download or emailed to a specific email address.

Reports include:

Current—Provides a snapshot of data that is not time-dependent.
Historical—Retrieves data from the device periodically and stores it in the Prime Infrastructure database.
Trend—Generates a report using aggregated data. Data can be periodically collected from devices and a schedule can be established for report generation.

With Prime Infrastructure, you also have the ability to export any report that you can view, sort reports into logical groups, and archive for long-term storage.

The Reports menu provides access to all Prime Infrastructure reports as well as currently saved and scheduled reports. It includes:

Report Launch Pad—The hub for all Prime Infrastructure reports. From this page, you can access specific types of reports and create new reports (see Managing Reports).
Scheduled Run Results—Allows you to access and manage all currently scheduled runs in Prime Infrastructure, and to access and manage on-demand exports as well as emailed reports (see Managing Scheduled Run Results).
Saved Report Templates—Allows you to access and manage all currently saved report templates in Prime Infrastructure (see Managing Saved Report Templates).

For information about the report field descriptions, see the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Reference Guide.

Managing Reports

The Report Launch Pad provides access to all Prime Infrastructure reports from a single page. From this page, you can create and save new reports, view current reports, open specific types of reports, schedule a report to run later, and customize the results of a report.

Tip To see more report details, rest your cursor over the tool tip next to the report type.

Creating, Scheduling, and Running a New Report

To create, schedule, and run a new report:

Step 1 Choose Report > Report Launch Pad.

Step 2 Choose a category from the left sidebar menu to see the report types for each report category, select the check box for the appropriate report in the main area of the Report Launch Pad, then click New.

Step 3 In the Report Details page, complete the fields as described in the Report Launch Pad > Report Type > New section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Reference Guide. Parameters shown in the Report Details will vary with the report type. With some reports, you will need to customize the report results. See Customizing Report Results.

Step 4 If you plan to run this report later or as a recurring report, enter Schedule parameters as described in the Report Launch Pad > Report Type > New section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Reference Guide.

Step 5 To run the report, choose one of the following options:

Run—Click to run the report without saving the report setup.
Save—Click to save this report setup without immediately running the report. If you have entered Schedule parameters, the report runs automatically at the scheduled date and time.
Run and Save—Click to save this report setup and run the report immediately.
Save and Export—Click to save the report, run it, and export the results to a file. You will be prompted to:

– Select the exported report’s file format (CSV or PDF).

– Choose whether to send an email when the report has been generated. If you choose this option, you must enter the destination email address and the email subject line content, and choose whether you want the exported file included as an attachment to the email.

When you are finished, click OK.

Save and Email—Click to save the report, run it, export the results as a file, and email the file. You will be prompted to:

– Select the exported report file format

– Enter the destination email address and the email subject line content

When you are finished, click OK.

Cancel—Click to return to the previous page without running or saving this report.

If a report has been saved for a specific report type, you can access the current reports from the Report Launch Pad.

Note You cannot change or update generated reports for all subdomains at the same time. You can open and change the reports individually through their respective subdomains. To update all reports, delete the reports created on subdomains and regenerate virtual domain reports with the changes.

Customizing Report Results

Many reports allow you to customize their results, so that you can include exclude different types of information. If the report you are creating permits this, it will display a Customize button. You can click this button to access the Create Custom Report page and customize the report results.

Customizing report results is sometimes required. For example, adding Flexible NetFlow (FNF) Extension parameters to the Traffic Analysis, Application, or Voice Video Data monitoring template makes those parameters part of your Prime Infrastructure monitoring setup. However, this does not mean that the collected FNF extension monitoring data will automatically appear in the corresponding Conversations reports for Core, Application Response Time (ART), and RTP performance. To ensure that FNF data is included in Conversations reports, you must add the FNF parameters to the “Data fields to include” column using the Create Custom Report page (see Report Launch Pad > Report Type > New > Customize section in Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Reference Guide).

To customize report results:

Step 1 Choose Report > Report Launch Pad.

Step 2 Click the Report Title link for the appropriate report.

Step 3 In the Report Details page, click Customize.

Step 4 On the Create Custom Report page, complete the required information, then click Apply to confirm the changes.

Note The changes made in the Create Custom Report page are not saved until you click Save in the Report Details page.

Managing Scheduled Run Results

To view all scheduled runs in Prime Infrastructure, choose Report > Scheduled Run Results .

Note The scheduled report tasks are not visible outside the Virtual Domain they run in. The results of the scheduled report tasks are visible in the Scheduled Run Results page of the respective domains.

The list of scheduled runs can be sorted by report category, report type, time frame, and report generation method. For information about the fields on this page, see the Scheduled Run Results section in the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Reference Guide.

Managing Saved Report Templates

Saved report templates are available at Report > Saved Report Templates. From the Saved Report Templates page, you can create report templates and manage saved report templates. You can also enable, disable, delete, or run saved reports, and you can filter and sort report templates by category, type, and status. For information about the fields on the Saved Report Templates page, and about filtering saved report templates, see the Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 Reference Guide.

The Saved Report Templates page displays the following information:

Report Title—Identifies the user-assigned report name.

Note Click the report title to view the details for this report.

Report Type—Identifies the specific report type.
Scheduled—Indicates whether this report is enabled or disabled.

Client Reports

Note When you create a virtual domain, the statistics collection for the virtual domain starts after its creation. Therefore, you do not get the hourly statistics for the previous hours (prior to the creation of the virtual domain) as you get the statistics for the ROOT-DOMAIN.

The following table describes the various Client reports that you can generate in Prime Infrastructure.

Table 22-3 Client Reports
Report	Description	Customizable?	Multiple Subreports?	Report Views	Data Field Sorting?
Busiest Clients	This report displays the busiest and least busy clients on the wireless network by throughput, utilization, and other statistics. You can sort this report by location, by band, or by other parameters. Note Busiest Clients reports do not include autonomous clients.	Yes	No	Tabular	No
CCX Client Statistics	This report displays the 802.11 and security statistics for Cisco Compatible Extensions v5 clients or Cisco Compatible Extensions v6 clients depending upon the options that you choose to run the report. Note The CCX Client Statistics report does not contain client information from Cisco 5700 Series Wireless Controller and Cisco Catalyst 3850 Series Switches.	No	No	Tabular	No
Client Count	This trending report displays the total number of active clients on your wireless network. The Client Count report displays data on the numbers of clients that connected to the network through a specific device, in a specific geographical area, or through a specific or multiple SSIDs. Note Client Count reports include clients connected to autonomous Cisco IOS access points. Note When you run the client count report for two different virtual subdomains under the root domain, the data reported might be the same even if the controllers assigned to the two virtual subdomains are different. This is because the report returns data for all of the controllers in the system. If you want to get a separate report for a virtual domain, run the report as a particular virtual domain user other than a root domain user.	No	No	Graphical	No
Client Session	This report provides client sessions for a given period of time. It displays the history of client sessions, statistics, and the duration for which clients are connected to an access point at any given period of time.	Yes	No	Tabular	No
Client Summary	The Client Summary is a detailed report that displays various client statistics. When Prime Infrastructure does not receive client traps, it relies on client status polling to discover client associations (the task runs every 5 minutes by default). However, Prime Infrastructure cannot accurately determine when the client was actually associated. Prime Infrastructure assumes the association started at the polling time, which might be later than the actual association time. Therefore, the calculation of the average client throughput can give inaccurate results, especially for short client sessions. Note Prime Infrastructure counts only authenticated sessions. If a user fails on DHCP or authentication, Prime Infrastructure might not have a session for it. Also, Prime Infrastructure considers every detected AP association as a session. For instance, if a client roams from one access point to another, Prime Infrastructure can have two association sessions.	Yes	Yes	Various	Yes
