Using Advanced Reporting

In addition to configuring and viewing the reports, you can also:
• Save and reuse report configurations as templates.
• Save or e-mail the report data.
• Delete the data in the Advanced Reporting log files.
Required Firmware
To use all the features of Advanced Reporting, you should install the
latest released version of library firmware on your library. For
information on installing library firmware, see
Upgrading Library
Firmware
on page 161.
Using the Reports and
Understanding the
Data
Report data is collected and displayed in a specific manner. The
following notes will help you interpret the reports.
• The data for these reports is collected in log files. When the log files
reach their maximum size, the oldest information is deleted as new
information is added. This may affect how much historical data you
can access.
• The on-screen report contains a chart and a data table. When the
log files are large, it would take an excessively long time to load all
the historical data into the data table. For this reason, the table only
contains a maximum of 1000 rows of data (beginning with the
most recent) even if the log file contains more records. (The chart
displays information for the entire range.) To view all of the data,
you need to save or e-mail the data file. See
Saving and E-mailing
Advanced Reporting Data
on page 157.
• The reports are built according to data in the log files, not your
current library configuration. For this reason, your library may
contain tape drives or cartridges that do not show up in the report.
Similarly, the report may contain tape drives and cartridges that no
longer reside in the library.
• Information about a tape drive, cartridge, or operation is not
recorded in the Drive Resource Utilization log file until after a tape
cartridge has been mounted (loaded)
and
unmounted (unloaded)
from the tape drive.
• To see the exact values of each item in the displayed chart, move
your mouse so that it “hovers” over the item you wish to see. An
information bubble appears with the values listed in it. If you click
