Report Management

To create and manage reports in Unified Intelligence Center, use the Report Manager and the Report Viewer.

Report Manager

Use Unified Intelligence Center Report Manager to view the location of reports and the hierarchy of the folders where the reports reside. You can do the following:

  • Create new folders and subfolders (called categories and subcategories in the user interface) to organize your reports.

  • Export an entire folder along with all the reports in it.

Run a Report

Procedure
    Step 1   In the Reports tab, select the report that you want to run.
    Step 2   Choose the filters for your report.
    Note   

    If the Report Designer has selected to bypass the filter dialog on the Report Editor page, the report will be generated. If the Report Designer does not select to bypass the filter dialog, selecting a report to view opens the Filters page for that report.

    Step 3   Click Run.

    The generated report is displayed in the Report Viewer. See Report Viewer.

    Report Viewer

    When you run a report, it is displayed in the Report Viewer. The content varies, based on which view (data presentation) of a report is selected—a grid, a chart, or a gauge. You can change the report view on this page.

    There are the two types of Report Viewers: the Historical and Real-time Report Viewer, and the Live Data Report Viewer.

    Historical and Real-Time Report Viewer

    The Cisco Unified Intelligence Center Historical and Real-Time Report Viewer allows you to do the following:

    The following figure shows an example of a Historical and Real-time report viewer.

    Figure 1. Historical and Real-Time Report Viewer

    Live Data Report Viewer

    Live Data reports are based on an asynchronous event stream from a Live Data data source and are updated in real-time.

    The Unified Intelligence Center Live Data Report Viewer allows you to do the following:

    • You can view multiple grid views of the same report. Also, you can resize the column size.


      Note

      Live Data reports supports only the grid view.

    • Edit the current view

    • Auto-Refresh—When Auto-refresh check box is checked, the system updates the data in the report as and when there are updates available. If this check box is unchecked, you see the "New Updates Available" alert message when new data is available in the report. By default, this check box is checked for every report.

    • Show Thresholds Only—When Show Thresholds Only check box is checked, only rows with matching threshold values are displayed in the report. By default, this check box is unchecked for every report.

    • Pop Out—Opens the report in a new browser. The pop-out will display the Auto refresh and Show Thresholds Only options.


      Note
      The default settings are retained for the Auto refresh and Show Thresholds Only options.

    • You can add or remove columns to the grid view using the gear icon.

    Figure 2. Live Data Report Viewer


    Note

    Any changes to system time while the Live Data report is running are not taken into account. If server or client is changed or adjusted, the report needs to be refreshed to accurately display the duration field values.

    Live Data Reports that are active across a daylight savings time (DST) change do not display correct values in the duration field. An active report needs to be refreshed across a DST change.
