390 EPICenter Software Installation and User Guide
Dynamic Reports
All the files needed to create or modify reports can be found in the directory
< epicenter_install_dir >/user/reports
, where
< epicenter_install_dir >
is the directory where
the EPICenter software resides (by default
c:/Program Files/Extreme Networks/EPICenter 4.1)
in the Windows operating environment, or
/opt/extreme/epc4_1
on a Solaris system). There are two
subdirectories under the
reports
directory:
• The
html
directory contains the HTML files displayed by the EPICenter server. The HTML files in
the reports directory have the following functions:
—
index.html
sets up the various frames for the browser display. It references
menu.html
to define
the menu on the left-hand side, and
body.html
for the content in the main panel of the window.
—
menu.html
defines the menu items for the predefined reports, and includes links to the html files
that generate the reports. This is a generated file. You can use this file in a customized report, but
it is not user-modifiable.
—
body.html
defines the content that appears in the main panel of the window when the Reports
feature is requested, either from the EPICenter software Start-up window, or from the icon on the
Navigation Toolbar. Modify this file if you want to change or add to the list of Reports and their
descriptions.
—
color1.html
defines the color of the bar at the top of the main content window. This is a
generated file. You can use this file in a customized report, but it is not user-modifiable.
—
epistylesheet.css
contains the style definitions used in the menu and main body frames.
—
reportstylesheet.css
contains the style definitions used in the reports themselves. To change
the look of all reports, you can modify this stylesheet.
— The remaining files, such as
device_summary.html
, and
vlan_summary.html
, define a number of
the actual reports available from the Reports module.
Note that some of the reports (the Interface Report and the four Log reports) are not
user-modifiable, and are not included in the HTML directory.
• The
tcl
directory contains the following:
— The Tcl methods available for creating new reports
— The source code for the existing reports
The information presented in the remainder of this chapter assumes you have a reasonably thorough
understanding of both HTML and Tcl scripting.
