Attributes” on page 44 for more information.
Generate a top N Summary Report to Determine Objects for an
Activity Report
You can run top N reports in two modes:
■
Summary mode just identifies the top N objects.
■
Summary plus detail mode generates a report including detailed
information for each of the top N objects. Reports run in this mode
take longer to generate.
To identify key network objects, generate a top N report in summary
mode. Then schedule activity reports on any objects of particular interest.
Effects of Grouping
on Reports
The creation and content of your reports is influenced in the following
ways by how devices are grouped in the Map:
■
The current grouping in the Map determines the groups that can be
selected when configuring a report. See
Chapter 4 , “Grouping
Network Devices in the Map” for more information about groupings.
■
If you try to delete a grouping which report instances are dependent
on, the reports will be displayed and you will need to delete them
before you can delete the grouping.
■
Editing the attributes of a particular device may cause that device to
be moved into or out of a group. This affects report output if reports
are being produced for any of the groups concerned.
