Specifying a report time span
2 Enable the checkboxes for sections to be included in the report.
For a description of each section, see “Report sections and consolidated sections” on page 115.
Specifying a report time span
When running Historical Reports, the default is to run the report across the entire log
file. You can use the drop list on the Time Filters dialog box to select from a group of
pre-set time periods, such as “yesterday” and “today.” You can also manually
configure the start and end times so the report covers only the specific time frame you
want to examine.
1 From the Report Properties dialog box, click the Time Filters tab.
2 Select the Time Stamp option that will appear on your report: Local Time or
GMT .
3 From the Time Span drop list, select the time you want the report to cover.
If you choose anything but Specify Time Parameters, click OK.
If you choose Specify Time Parameters, click the Start and End drop lists and select a start time
and end time, respectively.
4 Click OK .
Consolidating report sections
The Sections tab defines the types of information to be included in a report on each of
a group of Fireboxes: a vertical look at the data. You can also specify parameters that
consolidate information for a group of Fireboxes: a horizontal (cumulative) view of
data. To consolidate report sections:
1 From the Report Properties dialog box, select the Consolidated Sections tab.
The tab contains a list of report sections that can be consolidated. Brief definitions of the
contents of these sections are available in “Report Sections and Consolidated Sections” at the
end of this chapter.
2 Click the boxes next to the items you want to include in the consolidated report,
or click a checked box to clear it.
3 Click OK .
Setting report properties
Historical reports contain either Summary sections or Detail sections. Each can be
presented in different ways to better focus on the specific information you want to
view. Detail sections are reported only as text files with a user-designated number of
records per page. Summary sections can also be presented as graphs, whose elements
are user-defined. To set report properties:
1 From the Report Properties dialog box, select the Preferences tab.
2 Enter the number of elements to graph in the report.
Default is 10.
